Here lately I have been thinking that there is something missing in my life. That I have never really seen God or known him as my savior. And that I have never really been born again, changed into a new creation. If anyone reading this reads My Utmost For His Highest,I need some advice. Two devotionals that say something to me are December 7 and January 10th. In them Chambers talks about being converted and not being saved and being led by the Holy spirit to repentance. I don't think this has ever happened to me and I don't sense the Holy Spirit or conviction from sin even now. I need prayer and I need thoughts and Christian advice.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
I've never repented

Heavenly Father, please open Smiths heart that he may receive your Spirit; please help him to find all he seeks concerning his relationship with you; may he be open and prayerful, that you may see his efforts; may he also have guidance and support from those around him that he may find more answers; may he come to understand what faith means, and understand that it is knowing without seeing. Please help him to see understand what it means to repent, and help him to have the courage to acknowledge his sins, and ask forgiveness with great reverence, as we all must do.;May he be guided on his path, and have the strength to follow through with what you request from each of us. INJC. Im not familiar with the reading to which you refer, but you will be in my prayers. As you will most likely be offered prayers on this thread, as it is for prayers requests, perhaps you will receive more advice or guidance on another thread; however, Im glad that you came to this thread as the prayers from others will be yet another form of support for you as you seek answers. I hope this might helpful, but keep in mind there are many other threads as well

Heavenly Father, i pray that you would bring a renewal upon Smithaw1. Lord, that you empower him with your Holy Spirit. Father, that he would have an open heart to recieve your Spirit, and that he may be led by your Spirit. Father, i pray that you would allow him to get to a point of true repentance. Father, a point where he is sick of sinning and is truely sorry for what he is done. Father, that he would try to stop the sin that is in his life, that he may be able to become a more devoted christian. In Jesus' name, amen.
Hey Smithaw1, I find that when i am feeling distant from God, it is usually when i have avoided reading my bible. I reckomend that you just read his word everyday. That you take time out of your day not just to read it, but to think about what you have read and pray about it. Also, continue to pray that God would renew your heart. Ask him to enter your life and help you to change. God bless and best of luck.

Dear Lord,
Thank you for leading Smithaw to this forum. Thank you for the questions he asks because that means he wants to draw closer to you, and you are molding him right now to be more like Jesus.
Please give the answers that he seeks. Make his faith strong through this.
Thank you for this place where we can pray for one another.
