Closer to GodCategory:
My Life
It’s funny how when things are going rough for me that I have so much more desire to be close to God. There are times when things are so hard that I don’t feel like I have a way out. I clench my teeth more. I worry more, sleep less. This is one of those times for me. But the point is that I find myself closer to God when I need him most. It seems so simple, but I’m not sure I like it. Why? Because it makes me scared that I can’t be more close to him when things are going well. When things are fine, I don’t really have a desire to be close to him. Sometimes I even think that I can do things pretty well on my own. So what’s the solution? Do I pray for struggles in my life just to be closer to God? I have prayed that prayer before. It works… asking God to bring humility in my life in the form of pain. But is there another way to be close to God when everything is looking up? What’s your experience? Posted by pablohart on July 11, 2004 10:54 PM |
The LORD is my strength, my shield from every danger. I trust in him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
Psalm 28:7
Be Afraid, Be very afraid !!
