Time With God

I am a child of God, a member of His family. God is my Father. I love Him and want to spend time with Him. I want to spend time with Him in the same way I want to be with my earthly family and wanted to be with my Dad when he was alive. We get to know each other when we spend time together. God wants to spend time with each of His children. We must come to God believing that He “IS” and that He is going to hear us. We can get to know God better when we read His word and converse with Him in prayer. Talk to God as you would to your own earthly parent; a parent who loves you, wants the best for you, and wants to help you in every way possible.

When I come to God in prayer, I praise Him, thank Him, and confess anything that is bothering me or wrong I might have done. I pray for myself, my family, and others to be blessed and our needs to be met. I pray for general and specific daily guidance. I pray to be in God’s will and to be a vessel which He can use for His glory and for His purpose.

Philippians 4:6 says, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God about your needs”.

James 1:5 says, “If you want to know what God wants you to do, ask Him, and He will gladly tell you, for He is always ready to give a bountiful supply of wisdom to all who ask Him”.

Job 36:5 says, “God is mighty, and yet He regards nothing as trivial. He is mighty in power of understanding”.

1John 5:14-15 says, “We have such confidence in Him that we are certain that he hears every request that is made in accord with His own plan. And since we know that He invariably gives His attention to our prayers, whatever they are about, we can be quite sure that our prayers will be answered”.

You can pray to God anywhere and anytime about anything. What ever the time, be consistent in meeting Him, talking to Him, reading and meditating on the word, and listening for direction, peace, guidance, and His answers.
