When Is It Ok To Quit?
How long have you been praying about that loved one to be saved, a new job, health? Six months? Two years? Fifteen years? How long do you keep asking? If it hasn’t happened by now, will it ever? Who will you listen to Job or Job’s wife? Job’s wife told him to give it up already. All she saw was the evil that came into Job’s life and it didn’t look like any changes were coming. But Job was a man made of different stuff. He knew God. He knew that God could and should be trusted, despite the circumstances. You haven’t seen your breakthrough yet, but that doesn’t mean that God shouldn’t be trusted. If you can’t trust Him, what can you trust in? Don’t stop believing. You may be discouraged, that’s normal, but don’t stop believing. The waiting will be worth it. The answer will be more than you asked for because you believed for so long. How serious are you about seeing it happen?
How Do You Pray To A Trinity? Part Five
In then end, it really doesn’t matter who you pray to, as long as you have an open relationship with all parts of the Godhead. You may very well feel drawn to one part over the others, and that’s ok. It’s because of who you are and how you’ve been made. I think it’s very handy of God to be multiple versions of Himself to fit our different needs. There may be season where you need to discover the real Jesus in your life, and later get to know your Father or Comforter. You can never learn it all. As long as you want to know Him more, He’ll show you more, from now through eternity.
How Do You Pray To A Trinity? Part Four
Do you even think about who the Holy Spirit is in your life? He is part of the Godhead. He is God in you. If you really cannot relate to him, you may have issues with your mother. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, the One who literally wraps Himself around you to comfort you when you are hurting. He’s also the One who fills us with joy and peace. Talk to Him. Be quiet and listen to Him. He’s actually a lot of fun and has a great sense of humor. But He also knows our deepest pain. He will be the one you feel close by during the long, sleepless nights of agony. If you don’t have a relationship with Him, start now. He’s almost giddy at the thought of being friends with you.
How Do You Pray To A Trinity? Part Three
You need a relationship with Jesus.
What do you feel when you think about praying to Jesus? Can you see Him in your mind? If you don’t feel comfortable going to Jesus, you may have issues with siblings. There is a roadblock there that needs to be removed so you have total access to the Godhead. Ask Jesus what the problem is that prevents you from feeling comfortable with Him. Do you need to repent for something or receive forgiveness? Be open and honest with Him and He’ll bind up the wounds and bring peace. You need to have a relationship with your Brother/Savior/Friend. After all, He died for you. He really wants you to come to Him.
How Do You Pray To A Trinity? Part Two
When you think of God the Father, does He make you cringe? Do you automatically assume that He’s planning punishment for you? Can you see Him on His throne at all? If not, it may be because you had a bad relationship with your own father. You need to learn that God is a Father of love. He cares deeply for you. He is safe and He wants you to see Him correctly. Ask Him to heal the wounds that prevent you from knowing Him as you should. You may need to forgive your father, and that doesn’t mean that what ever pain he gave you is ok. You just need to let it go. Receive the healing and peace that your loving Father wants to give you. It will change your life.
How Do You Pray To A Trinity? Part One
Ever wonder who you should be praying to? God the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit? If you pick one, do you offend the other two? Who are you supposed to pray to? Does it say someplace in the Bible? Jesus said, if you’ve seen Me you’ve seen the Father. The Holy Spirit comes into our hearts when we become saved, so should we be talking to Him? There can be this private awkwardness when it comes to prayer, but I’m pretty sure that we don’t need to stress about it. God is well adjusted enough to not be offended how we pray. In fact, who we pray to can reveal our own need for healing.
