Thoughts question #1
Ok so here it is.
If someone came up to me and ask how to get closer to God. I would say......
It's all about your personal prayer time. If your not doing one now you need to start. It's one of the most intimate times I have with God. It's so freeing. There is no one around to distract or pull your attention. Your free to worship God in ways that seems so personal.
The key to getting closer to God in prayer. Jesus spent time in prayer all the time. In a garden or even on a high mountain, he prayed. The Holy spirit came upon an assemble that was praying. Whole nation of Israel fasted and prayed.
Getting the things that "get" in the way should be on the top of your priority list. Your person prayer time in your room should be unimpeded by things or people. Just empty out all the things that you have to God. Get others away from you. It's your time with God. Just like the time you want to spend with someone you love. You should want to have this time everyday. Letting the world get in the way of you and God should just not be aloud! The things that you carry with you can be just enough a gap to feel like your not getting everything you could be.
You don't have to carry the burdens that the world puts on you. You can give them to God and He will save you. He may not free you of the things that are happening, but He will always be there for you. Giving everything to God is the only way to live in this world. I could not imagine what I would do if I could not take off the burdens of the world. I wouldn't be alive more then likely. There is just such a freedom at God's feet.
Romans 12:12 "rejoice and exalt in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer."
And finial I think that 1st Thessalonian puts it very well. It is so simple but carries the importance of prayer to our lives. That it has an affect here in the world and in Spirit. It simple says, "Be unceasing in Prayer."
