A couple thoughts to help you in your prayer time. 

 

*There is a God who is all human… and so much more. What I mean is- he created us, he knows us and our human abilities and capabilities and potential. He created us in his image… but he is so much more than us… but he knows us.

   -  We tend to think of God as a being that can’t relate to us, which stands in the way of productive and powerful prayer. But the truth is he understands us better than we do because he created us.

*This means he created us to have a relationship with him.

 

Secondly -  He is personal and intensely wants us to know him and his ways. If you have ever held your child or grandchild as a baby you can relate to that feeling of “I really want you to know how much I love you and care for you”. As the child grows they understand that more and more. 

John 1:14

Colossians 2:9

John 14:9

 

God speaks in through his bible. 

Sometimes we overdo and overwork the notion that I have to hear Gods voice in my spirit or in my head… and yes that is a big part of the faith journey… however we can hear God speak to us at anytime just simply by reading his word. it is alive and active and sharper than any two edged sword… so read it as it was meant to be read- as Gods word speaking to us. 

 

Finally God wants to speak to YOU. 

If there was ever a more important theological issue to understand and believe it is this. GOD WANTS TO SPEAK TO YOU. That is why he created you, that is why he sent his son to die on the cross, that is why his son is now in heaven interceding for us. It is all about relationships. 

DO YOU BELIVE IT?
