So I've been reading the book of John for the past couple days, breaking up a chapter into 2 days. And I've been feeling good like I'm growing closer to God and I'm getting to know Jesus better. I've just been a little terrified about the things that have been going on in the world. Like it's scary stuff. And I have some friends who don't really believe in God and I've been ministering to them a little so I'm happy about that
I've just been trying to focus on God/Jesus/Holy Spirit, and not on the things that are going on in this world. Because it gives me anxiety and makes me worry so I don't think God wants me focusing on that stuff but rather him. I've been really struggling about this feeling thing. I've always struggled with it. Like 'feeling' like God doesn't listen to me or 'feeling' like he's not there. But I've been praying about it and it's a hard thing to over come.
I guess that's where faith comes into play. Having faith he is listening and he is there. I just want more faith in him. I really do. And I want him to use me. So I've been praying about that. Only thing is I feel bad when I go a day without reading the bible. Like yesterday I was out doing stuff almost the whole day and then when I got back I just wanted to sleep and so I listened to a chapter on my phone. But it didn't feel the same as actually opening up my bible and writing notes.
And I know having a relationship with God takes time. But even tho I know that it gets frustrating like will I ever really know him or really trust in him or really believe in him. Stuff like that.
So if you could pray for me that would be great!
I've also been praying God will give me a desire to want to spend time with him everyday and that he'd light a fire in my soul for him. I'm hoping he will do those things for me
