I have a question for you, and hope that you can give me some words of encouragement. I have never really been very religeous, but I quite enjoy the ideas of Paganism, with observing the turn of the seasons, and being grateful for what the land and different times of the year gives to us, although my family our Christian, but do not regulary attend church. I always loved singing at school though, and was part of the choir until I was 15.

I have recently started going to our local Methodist Church with a friend of mine, and we also go to a Singing group, and a wonderful "Celebration" Service at our local college for theology students and the community.

I really enjoy going to these meetings, and really feel good being part of something so wonderful and good! Although listening to these people who have such a firm belief, and passion for their love of God - I feel like a bit of a fraud going there.

Although I can accept most things, and I do feel that I would like to commit to God - I just don't belive that he has got time to listen to every one of us praying - and it just seems weird for me to think about people praying and asking him for help, or giving him thanks. I just think it's almost arrogant of us to think that he has got time for us.

Can someone please put me right because I really feel although there is some secret about this that I do not know about.

Thank you,
Sarah

Hello Sarah,

The best thing I can say because God knows all just be honest when you go to God so that you can be heard. Just be real because he already knows all but, nothing better than just being real. If you really don't believe in him then tell him just that but, also ask him for his help.

So you can say Lord I don't really know if you are there but, show me. And he will.

It's all up to you but, you must have a relationship with JESUS & GOD. And when I say relationship I mean talking to him spending time with him. Stay Blessed! The Best thing you can always do is ask questions and Seek The Lord on things you don't understand. Stay Blessed!

All The Glory Will Forever Be Given To God!

The ideas of paganism may be attractive to you, but please keep in mind that that is worshiping the creation....not the Creator. It's sometimes hard to wrap your head around how awesome of a God we have, and some of His mysteries we won't understand until we meet Him. But I assure you, He wants to know you, and He has time for you.
