Advice 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.

Honesty is the cardinal aspect of any effective prayer. Pride and boastfulness hinder communication to God. Only those that accept themselves as constant sinners stand a chance of being heard by Him. Accept Christ as the only way through which you may attain ultimate salvation.

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.

Try engaging older Christians into a dialogue about how they have traveled their Christian journeys. They are going to shower you with encouragement so that you may pluck more strength and enthusiasm. Reading Christian books and online articles regarding your faith is a great milestone. Others you may not know could prove to be great assets of motivation and commitment.

Your mind is the best place to meet with Jehovah. He made it and left a space for Himself. Even if you do not engage Him there, there still is a space for him. Imagine Him seated on his golden throne, dispensing mercy and compassion, but also judgment and justice. Throughout scriptures, and majorly through the prophets the Almighty complains of people who worship him with their lips but not their hearts and minds.

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, the Bible is the ultimate symbolism of the mind of God. Many things have been said of the Bible. Despite all criticism, the Bible remains to be the documented word of God. To grow in your Christian life and to have a dialogue with God, you need to come up with a daily Bible reading program. You are going to be amazed at just how many new things you will be learning every single day.
