Who is God Really?

Some of us are very confident in what we believe and that is a great thing. But some of us are a little confused not knowing where to find God or who God really he is. Does he hear our prayers? Will God answer me? I believe that a relationship with God is what is most important. What you believe might not be what somebody else believes and that is OK. Create your own unique relationship with God. We all have different needs, different hopes and different desires so how can we all have the same relationship with God? I do not think we can. Where is God you ask? He is in your heart. Open your heart today and start on your own personal spiritual journey.

How God Answers Our Prayers

God Answers our Prayers


God does things that are amazing, things that can't be explained. Let me tell you a short story. I have a person who is very close to my heart. We did not speak too often for quite a while but in my heart I knew that that would change. Everyday I would pray. I would pray for a lot of personal things, but I would also pray that he would accept God in his life. That he would start to read the bible and he would become a man who had faith and hope.

Not that this guy was a bad guy by any means, I just knew though that deep down inside of him he had some issues, fear, worry and concerns that he really needed to deal with. He was not a religious person, I think he believed in God, but that was the extent that it went. He had no relationship.

So I prayed my prayers for a long long time. I mean over a couple of years. All of a sudden something bad happened and he got into some trouble. Now until you really get to know God you may not see things the way that I do and may not understand why I am dealing with this situation the way that I am.



 Like I said I was never able to completely let him go out of my life. I never had any hard feelings for him, only good feelings and always wanted what was best for him. When this incident happened I was the first person he came to, besides his family. I was the one he confided in and who he wanted to stand by his side. Since this has happened he has begun a strong relationship with God.He is reading the bible and doing bible study groups. His faith has went from like not much to super strong in such a short period of time. Issues that needed to be addressed has been addressed. He is learning so much about himself and has changed the way he thinks about and how he sees things.

Though it comes with some hard times. the prayers that I prayed are being answered. And because they were answered I know that there is a reason why things went the way they did. God has a plan, and this is part of his plan. Knowing this makes it that much easier to cope with the hard circumstances surrounding it. But it will only make us stronger.

Point of my story is, though we may have to pray a long time for things that we feel in our hearts, God will answer. And though he may not answer in the way we expected, it does not mean that he did not answer. His way is better anyway. It will get us to where we need to be. It will give us the lessons we need to learn and the power and strength to get through. Never give up on what you feel in your heart. Those feelings are there for a reason.

I am so thankful to God for blessing me with the things that he has!

How to Have Trust in God

I will be the first to admit that it can be really hard to keep your Faith at times. Especially when you want something so badly but the opposite of what you are praying for is happening. We think to ourselves, why is this happening? Why is it that I am praying day and night for this to turn the other way and things just seem to be getting worse? I have had many of those conversations with God myself.

But the truth is, he is not ignoring us, he is working for us. He is doing things that we have no idea he is doing. We have to remember that God has our best interest at heart. He does not want us to struggle, but sometimes it is necessary in order for us to learn the things we need to learn. For change to occur. We might not realize how much a bad situation will benefit us until after it is over. At that time, we will then be able to see what that situation did for us in a positive way.

Right now I am dealing with a very difficult situation. In simple words, it SUCKS. Big time. But I know that there is a reason for this. I know that we will get past this and learn so many wonderful things. I will tell you one thing, because of this situation, the person who this is regarding is becoming closer and closer to God. His Faith is growing daily and his "wanting" to learn about God has become extremely strong. If it were not for this situation, I do not believe it would have turned out that way.

And the thing is, prior to this incident happening, I would pray for this person. I would pray that he would get to know God and want to learn more about him. I prayed that prayer for a very long time. Never in a million years did I think that this was the way he was going to come to God, but my prayer was answered. And because my prayer was answered I know (no matter how bad things are at the moment) that the future is going to be bright and wonderful. That this is all happening for a specific reason.

I have learned to trust God in a way I never thought I could trust anyone. The way I look at thing is so different now than it was years ago. I have turned into a much stronger person over the past years and I know it is because I have created a relationship with God.

I just want you to know that even if your situation is bad, even if you do not understand why thing are happening the way they are, keep praying. God will hear your prayers. Have confidence and Faith and know that you will get out of the darkness and into the light when your time comes. When you are feeling scared or down find words of inspiration to read. Do not let others steal your joy. I know other people have a way of bringing us down, but by you not giving into that, and by you showing your Faith, you will prove to other people that holding on and receiving the impossible is very possible.

Here is one of my favorite bible verses about faith:
Matthew 17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. "

When I read that I say to myself, Faith as small as a mustard seed. I have so much more Faith than that. If I can move a mountain with such small Faith, imagine what can happen with a whole bunch of Faith!!
