When we go to church everybody in the ongregation participate in a mighty prayer chain to spiritually uplift the spirit of God in us. But why is it that once we are away from this that it goes back to normal like we have not entered in Gods house and carry on with every day living as if we haven't been saved or partaken in water baptism why? And hence when we are upset about something God is not init and then we repent to be sorry for forgiveness unto God. and at that particular moment when we are upset it is like we do not know God like God is notin our heart, and then when we are not upset any more we remember that we love God. It is like in that instant we never knew God, then I get the bible and read the psalms to get healing from the Lord. I wonder if any one can be truthfully open about this please, I feel like I am the only one.
The great thing about God is that He loved us first. He loves us unconditionally. He sees all and knows all. Even before He sent Jesus to save the world, God knew every sin we would commit. God saw every time we would turn our backs on Him and His will for our lives, and in spite of it all He still loved us and sent His one and only Son to die for us. God knows we are imperfect beings and He doesn't expect us to do everything perfectly all the time. We cannot esteem ourselves higher than we are...we are all sinners saved by grace and have nothing good within us.
November 4, 2012 - 6:15pmI agree-we all need a personal relationship with God. I know I would not be typing here if God had-has not helped me through the past two years. He has helped me through health and a relationship difficulty. We re naturally selfish people that like to put ourselves first-and put God on a back burner.I know I am selfish and attempt to become a better person every day.
July 12, 2012 - 5:33pmI believe we must put God first then our selves second. We must put things into perspective and keep it balanced like a balanced diet. We must defenately be edified by eating our meals 3 times a day and reading the Bible 3 times a day and giving thanks to the Lord. Because at the end of the day He is the only one who can save us in this world. Friends come and friends go but the Lord remains with us forever in our presence. The Lord has a free gift and that is Salvation the Lord can do anything that pleases the heart and soul positively. You know repentance is the star of our journey with Him forever Amen.

When we pray to God we are expecting God to forgive us right? Well that is what we want to achieve yes? We must always be willing to talk to the Lord as well and obey His commands. Now to obey is to listen positively to your conscience and you will know if your not listening right if there seems to be tension in your home that is never usually there and that would be you negative conscience whom loves to make an entrance in to making things look very ugly and once you notice this you must get down onto your knees and repent and pray for forgiveness. If you ignore this then all the ugly things that are happening around you will escalate into some thing more horrible than it was before, and it will not be a very nice feeling at all. I am telling you all this by experience. Yes I have been through this so I thought I would give a word of warning, to take heed and go easy on your self don't be so hard on yourself at the end of the day God knows every thing that you have done so there is no need to be hard on yourself. All that the God wants is for you to be thankful and to use this in your prayers. Just by saying Thank you Lord for my day going so smoothly and that every thing just went in to place with out any trouble. That is what the God wants to hear from us. and He wants to give us some thing in return for obeying His commands.
