Prayers, please...

Wow... it's been a while since I've been on here. Can't believe I remembered my login credentials!

Anyway, it's been a little over a couple of years since I've been here, and a lot has happened in my life since then. Some good, some bad; mostly bad.

My faith was floundering for a while during my time here previously, and I quit coming here (and going to any physical place of religious significance) when my faith ultimately dried up. I had only become a Christian less than a year prior, having been a non-believer before that, so I wonder if my 'faith' was really anything genuine at all. Seemed real, what with all the emotions and all, but I am convinced I just needed somewhere to hide from all my personal troubles; when it came down to actually committing to faith, I just gave up.

And so, for the past couple of years and change, I've been doing the one thing I'm best at: living without God; or at least doing some kind of imitation of 'living'. It's mostly been a series of disappointments and very unfortunate behavior on my part.

So why am I here asking for prayer?

I have a sudden interest once again in faith, in prayer, God, and all those wonderful things. Though this time around, this pull comes at a time when things are going surprisingly well in my life. It didn't come as a result of me trying to get away from anything, but seems to come with all these other great things that are happening in my life at this moment.

So I ask that someone pray that I might actually take hold of this and do something genuine with it, that I might actually live with some kind of authenticity. I ask that someone pray that I get some guidance through this desire I have to have a REAL relationship with God.

I'm kind of confused by it all, actually. Still being somewhat of a skeptic, I can't say that I've given my life to Christ or anything, but I have a strong desire to do so. I know that sounds strange (it does to me, anyway), but it is what it is. The only thing holding me back is not knowing how to go about it and know that I'm being honest in doing so. So, pray for me, if you will.

Thanks and love,
-Drew

We trust you to God.

Be blessed and encouraged.

And in case you already understand you need faith that will not only work because you feel good about nicer circumstances, it is good that you already understand this. But this is good for all of us to remember . . . not only you We are in this together!

So, it is good to see you, Drew

Lord, send him any help he needs with his faith and that he draw close to you, as he did in the past. Be there for him and show him you are listening, that you are going to be there every step of the way. Send him your love, peace, comfort and strength. I pray for this, in Jesus name, Amen.

Hi Drew

God loves you soo soo very much. So much that He sent His son Jesus to die for you. He would of done this if you were the only person on earth too. Faith is not about feelings it's just taking God at His word. God says He loves you He would not lie and cannot. We cannot do anything to earn God's love. If you have your life to Jesus years ago you are still His child, He promises to never leave or forsake us no matter what we do or don't do. But if you want to pray as a recommitment you could pray.

God I believe you love me. I want you God and your love. I choose life. I am a sinner as I have not perfectly obeyed your law and can never do this. I want forgiveness. I believe you sent Jesus to die for all my sins. Count me in forgive me Jesus for my sins. I receive you as my Savior and Lord. Thank you I am your child. Help me to grow into faith. In Jesus name Amen


Some great podcasts are joycemeyer.org her teaching is great. Also Google Bethel Worship music. Play worship music. Speaking scripture out loud is a sure way to grow. Also google who I am in Christ and speak these scriptures out loud. You are who God says you are.

God I pray for good christian friendships for Drew a church that is on fire for you too. Encourage Drew in Jesus name Amen. Satan will not be happy you are seeking God again he usually tries to discourage and bring trouble but you have God, his peace, His Help,Hislove. Remember God is greater in you than Satan in the world.
