Tips 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.

For those who really want to draw into the presence of their Maker, prayer will be a powerful tool. It is the best way to converse directly to the Supreme Creator. We all suffer periods of prayer difficulties. The best way to ensure that you pray constantly is by drawing a prayer journal.

As you immerse yourself into prayer, remember that God will only answer supplications of an honest heart. Avoid boastful utterances. Own up that you are always sinning and that only the blood of the Lamb is your sure remedy. Do not dwell on big requests and imaginings and forget to ask for the little often forgotten things such as grace and wisdom.

Confessing your sins to the Everlasting One is relieving and fulfilling. Those who do not accept that they are sinful are the chief of sinners. The Creator will not accept your prayers until you accept yourself as a sinner. Only them shall He pardon your transgressions and treat you as a child.

New converts into the Christian faith encounter big temptations on daily basis. To remain focused on your heavenly journey, enlist the help of senior believers who have been in salvation for a little longer. Share your fears and worries with them and they are going to be a great source of motivation and encouragement.

Your mind is directly linked to that of your Creator. Always imagine yourself walking hand in hand with your Savior everywhere you are. Know that God is omnipresence and is found in all places. He never left Paul and Silas when they were in prison and can as such be with you even in the most undesirable places. Ask Him to be near you.

Make use of your church minister. Make use of him as your Christian parent. Let him help you conquer inability to pray, lack of faith, and your failure to consistently read the Holy Word. As a young Christian, many Biblical accounts may prove rather tricky to understand. Since your spiritual leader has widely read the scripture, they are the right persons to help you understand the Bible better. The problem with many young people today is that they do not actively engage their spiritual guardians in a frank and honest manner. This is why they conclude by saying salvation is impossible and that faith in God is impractical.

Finally, it pays a lot to read the gospel on a daily basis whenever you can. Brush aside wherever critics and philosophers say about the Bible and take it as the documented absolute voice of the Creator. It is impossible to hope to grow as a Christian unless you are an avid reader of the Bible. Just like prayer, there are some days on which you will not like reading the Bible. Drawing a timetable on how to explore both the New and Old Testaments of the scripture is a profound go-ahead. To unfailingly have a dialogue with God, you cannot avoid perusing the scripture with a prayerful heart and an open mind.
