Tips On How To Have A Dialogue With God

By Harriett Crosby


Every Christian wants to be closer to their God. If you experience this urge, you are not alone. The real issue is how to bring yourself nearer to Him. Discussed in this piece are tips on how to have a dialogue with God.

Prayer is of paramount importance if you really want to inch closer to your Maker. There is no better way of communicating to the Almighty than praying. Even when you do not feel like praying, imagine yourself drawing before God and seeing him enthroned upon his majestic eternal seat.

When indulging in your prayers, be honest to God and yourself. Do not be boastful or proud. In fact, you should accept yourself as a hopeless sinner who has been freely ransomed by Christ. Do not pray for just small things because the Lord is the possessor of all things. Seemingly little things like asking for guidance and wisdom should be taken into account.

Be sure to confess all your sins to God. Do not be overwhelmed by the present needs and forget to pray for your future survival as a Christian. The path of believers is always blocked with obstacles that only prayer can take away. Know when to daily pray and when special prayers are needed.

New converts into the Christian faith encounter big temptations on daily basis. To remain focused on your heavenly journey, enlist the help of senior believers who have been in salvation for a little longer. Share your fears and worries with them and they are going to be a great source of motivation and encouragement.

Your thoughts are always linked to be Chief Architect who made and controls them. There is nothing more rewarding than imagining yourself walking side by side with your loving Creator wherever you go. If you do this, you are going to find yourself in constant connection to your Lord. The best place to worship and recognize your Savior is in your mind. Your metal awareness of the Supreme Being ensures that you remain always imbued by the Holy Spirit and hence remain constantly aware of his omnipresence.

Make use of your pastor or priest. This helps you get the most recommended guidance as far as matters Christian are concerned. The Bible will especially present puzzling paradoxes that take the advice of a seasoned theologian to untangle. Without fear, talk to your church head. In most cases, they are going to schedule special times for both of you to learn the word of God, pray together, and generally exchange ideas on the difficult Christian journey. Avoid seeking religious counsel from secular sources that have no understanding of importance of Christian values.

Finally, it pays a lot to read the gospel on a daily basis whenever you can. Brush aside wherever critics and philosophers say about the Bible and take it as the documented absolute voice of the Creator. It is impossible to hope to grow as a Christian unless you are an avid reader of the Bible. Just like prayer, there are some days on which you will not like reading the Bible. Drawing a timetable on how to explore both the New and Old Testaments of the scripture is a profound go-ahead. To unfailingly have a dialogue with God, you cannot avoid perusing the scripture with a prayerful heart and an open mind.
