Learn to love yourself as God loves you. 4 STEPS Continue 2
In my last post we spoke about a few practical ways to teach yourself how to start spending time with God.
Now the next thing that is important for spiritual growth is Prayer.
Prayer is a dialogue with God. In prayer you can absolutely lay yourself at the feet of Christ and talk to Him.
Pray with passion!
God says in His word that only prayers that is prayed with Faith will be answered.
Matthew 9:27-30 "As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, screaming loudly, “Have mercy and compassion on us, Son of David (Messiah)!” When He went into the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe [with a deep, abiding trust] that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith [your trust and confidence in My power and My ability to heal] it will be done to you.” And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them: “See that no one knows this!”
Like a lot of things in life, Faith is also like a muscle.
You cannot just confess you believe and never actively live in Faith. Living and practicing Faith takes effort and "cross-bearing" diligence.
Start today and actively talk to God. Get to know Him trough His Word.
There within the pages of the Bible and trough prayer the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God will reveal Himself to you.
I am going to leave you with this thought:
1 THESSALONIANS 5:17 "..be unceasing and persistent in prayer;"
Till the next post God Bless and remember to love life!

Devine experience Our whole family (with the exception of my husband because he was studying for an exam) went camping this weekend. The morning we started setting up camp and it was a lovely busy day. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon clouds began to rise and heavy thunder began to raw. Before I could pick up the sail of the Gazebo (not as if it would have help) a Gail force wind of more than 100km / h started blowing. At that moment my oldest son (7) was at my cousin's camp and I believed he would be safe because they camped in a caravan. My 6 year old girl was in our tent with my mother. When the storm broke, the gazebo flipped over the tent, at that point I tried to hold the gazebo because the tent was attached to it. With that, the wind began to pick up speed and the hail began to fall. The wind blew from the west where the tent's opening was. All I heard was my baby shouting. The problem was, as soon as ...
