How To Talk To God

Have you ever stopped to think that God, the creator of the universe whats to spend time alone with you? Well, He does.

Think about it, God, the creator of the entire universe whats to spend time alone with you! He wants a relationship with you! He loves you so much and He wants you to get to know Him.

Prayer has always been one of the stumbling blocks for so many people. Even those who have been in the church for a long time can find themselves wondering how to pray.

I want to encourage you to take at least 15 minutes a day to spend time alone with God. Right now, you may be wondering: 

How can I talk to God?
Talking God to is like talking to your best friend who loves you and desires the best for you, and wants to help you in every way possible.  You simply tell Him what you would tell your friend. He really wants to hear what you have to day.

What do I say?
At first you might feel quite strange and it might even seem embarrassing. A good place to start is simply introducing yourself to Him. You may even want to tell him, "I'm new at this and I'm not quite sure what to say." That's OK. The more you talk to Him the more comfortable you will get with Him. Remember, it's like meeting a new friend. In fact, that is exactly what you are doing! You can talk to God about anything.

Thank Him for all He has done for you. It may not seem as tho He has done anything for you, and it's OK to tell Him that. If that is the case, ask Him to show you the times He has been with you when you didn't even know it. He will show you!

Confess your sins to Him. Tell God about the things you have done, said and even thought that you know in your heart was wrong. Don't hold anything back. Tell Him everything. Remember, He love you. He tells us in 1 John 1:9 that "He is faithful and just and forgives us of all our sins." When we confess our sins and ask for forgiveness ... He forgives us and writes our name in His record book, called, The Lambs Book Of Life. Every name written in His book will have access into His Heaven.

Pray for yourself. As God to show you the right way for your life. Ask His to bring people into your life that will help you come to know Him is a deeper way. Ask Him to teach you how to live a life that is pleasing to Him. for guidance for the day ahead. Ask God to help you do His will.

Spend time reading His Word the Bible. Reading the Bible is God's way of speaking to us. There are many translations, find one you understand and start reading. Some good translations to choose from are the New International Version (NIV), New English Translation (NET), God's Word Translation, The Message Translation.

There are two places you can start reading: First, the Proverbs which is located in the Old Testament. Proverbs is a book filled with great wisdom on how to make wise choices as we live our life on earth.  Second, is the gospels which are the first four books of the New Testament. These books will show who Jesus is and how much He loved and cared for people. He has not changed! He still loves and cares for people today.

You may be wondering:

Where do I find the time?
It doesn't matter the time of day or where you are. The important things is that you do it. If you are a morning person, like myself, then get up 15 minutes earlier. If you are a night person, then take 15 minutes before going to bed.

Many people use the time driving back and forth to work as their time. They listen to the Bible on CD and talk to God about their day ahead along with listening to music that given them encouragement for their soul.

I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. In Jesus Name, Amen
