be closer to God

I’ve been praying a lot more lately and taking time to read the Bible and really think about what it means. I feel a lot calmer and happier and more motivated to accomplish my goals.

Sometimes I get so caught up in the unimportant things in life – dead lines, insecurities, lists, worrying about what others think, trying to be successful. I know in the end none of that will matter. When I’m in the grave, no one is going to walk by my headstone and wonder if I turned all my paper work in on time. I am here because God put me here, yet somehow that gets lost in my day. I don’t want to live my life like that doesn’t matter anymore. I need Him in my life, and I want to be closer to Him. I want to be a loving person, and someone with integrity.

i go to church every sunday, but thats pretty much it. i want to start reading the bible more often, and do more stuff that will get me closer to God

and he said he gave all of nature a mind of it’s own but that it would bend to his commandment, which he doesn’t meddle in except when Jesus had to do miracles…LOL he told me not to worry about nature though because it knows how to take care of itself that in fact is the nature of nature.

I feel so much closer to God than I did a month ago. So so so much closer. I’m praying at least once a day, I’m asking God for whatever comes across my mind, I’m accepting my own powerlessness in certain situations and I’m handing those situations over to Him. I’m handing ALL situations over to Him. This is a really awesome thing and I’m really happy that I’ve been able to see the light. I no longer feel ashamed about what’s happened in my past :)

It’s been a while since I’ve been on the site, and looking back I am now so much closer to God, a combination of reading the bible more, praying more, trying to change the things I do that I know are not from God and surrounding myself more and more by people who have strong faith. I still can’t shake the doubt from my mind but at the same time my first reaction to most situatios is to pray. I’m happy with where I am with God, although I know there’s so much further to go.

I don’t want to die having missed out on the most important thing in life :) if this is the one thing i achive in life then it still will all have been worth it :)

I am a very hopeful soul and with that in mind I know God gives me that hope. I symbolize my cross every night and I pray to god for strength and will. I have to visit his home more often therefore I must be more consistent in attending mass more often.

This is the only thing that matters to me in my spiritual life. The bible is the word I must follow because it holds every answer to every question. I PUSH (pray until something happens). A miracle always settles an issue.

This is where I struggle with my faith.Feeling separated and disconnected.This is when I realize my humanity and how very much I need God.This is where I cry out in the silence of my heart.
This is where I approach God like a meteor entering the earth’s atmosphere.The closer I get the less of me there is.
