Ideas On How To Have A Dialogue With God

By Harriett Crosby


As a Christian, you are going to experience that constant urge to get closer and closer to your God. If you have this hunger, there are some ideas to help you get nearer to your creator. Explored in this article are some nuggets on how to have a dialogue with God.

Prayer is by far the most assuring way of talking to your Creator. You cannot imagine a better way of conversing with the Almighty. The problem is not the ineffectiveness of prayer; it is rather the failure to pray. Even the most respected Christians suffer bouts of prayer difficulties. You cannot be a prayerful Christian without drawing a timetable on how to go about it.

When indulging in your prayers, be honest to God and yourself. Do not be boastful or proud. In fact, you should accept yourself as a hopeless sinner who has been freely ransomed by Christ. Do not pray for just small things because the Lord is the possessor of all things. Seemingly little things like asking for guidance and wisdom should be taken into account.

Be sure to confess all your sins to God. Do not be overwhelmed by the present needs and forget to pray for your future survival as a Christian. The path of believers is always blocked with obstacles that only prayer can take away. Know when to daily pray and when special prayers are needed.

Try engaging older Christians into a dialogue about how they have traveled their Christian journeys. They are going to shower you with encouragement so that you may pluck more strength and enthusiasm. Reading Christian books and online articles regarding your faith is a great milestone. Others you may not know could prove to be great assets of motivation and commitment.

Your thoughts are always linked to be Chief Architect who made and controls them. There is nothing more rewarding than imagining yourself walking side by side with your loving Creator wherever you go. If you do this, you are going to find yourself in constant connection to your Lord. The best place to worship and recognize your Savior is in your mind. Your metal awareness of the Supreme Being ensures that you remain always imbued by the Holy Spirit and hence remain constantly aware of his omnipresence.

Make use of your pastor or priest. This helps you get the most recommended guidance as far as matters Christian are concerned. The Bible will especially present puzzling paradoxes that take the advice of a seasoned theologian to untangle. Without fear, talk to your church head. In most cases, they are going to schedule special times for both of you to learn the word of God, pray together, and generally exchange ideas on the difficult Christian journey. Avoid seeking religious counsel from secular sources that have no understanding of importance of Christian values.

Finally, the Bible is the ultimate symbolism of the mind of God. Many things have been said of the Bible. Despite all criticism, the Bible remains to be the documented word of God. To grow in your Christian life and to have a dialogue with God, you need to come up with a daily Bible reading program. You are going to be amazed at just how many new things you will be learning every single day.
