Will The Lord save me ? (Please respond)

[Jessyca]

Hey everybody... I'm just want to know if The Lord will save and deliver me if I keep making the same mistakes and sinning the same way everytime? Lately I've been away and doing things that I know I should not be doing.. How do I know if I'm really saved and really his...I'm struggling hard... I haven't been honest with him nor talking to him ... But I do pray here and there. I've been scared because I don't want to go to hell and I haven't been doing anything to change... I just keep doing it....

I keep saying what I want and need to do but don't do it...how do I fully trust The Lord and listen to his will and not my own..? How do I fully submit my whole self to him....lately I been hearing al these bad thoughts And dreaming these dreams that really frighten me.. I don't want to belong to the dark and I don't want The Lord to turn me away on judgement day because I can't seem to escape my past... It seem like my sin is always before me and I can't catch up.... I can't live like this anymore but I'm not doing anything to make it different... I know it's in me and I feel he knows it's in me but idk how to release it.. I love him I really do but I don't act or treat him like I do... I feel so fake.. I feel like I'm just spitting in his face... I'm getting tired of my self.. I ask for forgiveness and mercy so much and it's always for the same thing ....! What do I do... Will he save me.?

I feel like my spiritual eyes and ears are no longer open and my heart hurts.. How do I just give my all to him..

Our preacher has just started a series on understanding your identity in Christ. You can CLICK HERE to catch the first four. The rest will come out, usually, on the Tuesday following the Sunday they are preached.

It is key that you know who you are, and what your security is as a Christian.

Chris is a very relaxed preacher, and I think you will enjoy these sermons.

We need to focus on Scripture. Some good passages for the believer: John 3.16; John 4.1-6; John 14.27; Romans 8.28-38; Psalm 46.

 

[1watchman]

Yes, one needs to read the Word of God and not just wonder, wander, and worry. I often refer people to John 1; John 3; John 14, then urge one to talk to God in the secret of their heart. We MUST repent of our sinful nature (which we all have) and receive God's "...so great salvation" in His beloved Son. Do you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior who died for you? He rose again to overcome death and the grave and is the only source of life eternal (see John 17:1-8).

Salvation, peace, and blessings are all IN the Lord Jesus, the Christ of God. Receive Him now and begin the joy of walking and talking with Him through this wilderness world. Its all about this relationship, not just religion. Look up always!

Every person is a sinner.

If your conscience is burdened, consider confession. Some churches offer or encourage private confession to a priest, & some of these same churches participate in a general confession during the liturgy.

For example, I attend the Episcopal Church & every Sunday during the liturgy the congregation participates in a general confession of sin, & the priest assures us of forgiveness through Jesus. Private confession is available as well, though it's probably not the norm.

I would recommend seeing if this is a possibility at your church; however, if it's not an option, think about this: You want to do good, like most people, but still sin - God understands & loves you anyway. In this life we will always be sinners - but we follow the calling of the Gospel to set things right in the world, extending grace to others, & so be changed ourselves. There are no secret "plans" you need to figure out. There is no need to be fearful.

Obviously, I don't know you, your church, nor what your church teaches about salvation, but I do know what the Bible teaches about salvation and it has nothing to do with giving up (insert name of sin here). In Mark 1:15, Jesus said, "repent and believe the gospel." Repent means to change your mind and the gospel is the 'death, burial & resurrection' of Jesus. So to be saved, we are to change our mind about Jesus and believe in His gospel.

Romans 10:9-10, 13(NLT) tells us,
9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.

13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Jessyca, if you have not followed what the Bible says here, about being saved, then I would urge you to do so, to be saved and be a part of God's family.

If you have followed what the Bible says here, about being saved, then you are saved. Giving up (insert name of sin here) does not save you. The giving up of sin usually comes after being saved.

As for the doubt you feel, the way to get rid of it is to take God at His word. God does not lie and the Bible is His Word, so if you follow what the Bible says about being saved, then take God at His Word, you are saved. It's not a feeling, its a fact. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Trust God!

Hello Jessyca,

Bare with me, I'm half asleep answering this lol I have a few key points I want to share with you. Please read and meditate on what I am about to share with you.

1. Struggling is not failure

I have a bad tendentious to get frustrated with myself, a self hater if it were. I wanted to break away from my sin so badly, but after I sinned, beat myself up. The Holy Spirit would rise up within me, and his voice so much different from the screaming in my head. (Sinful nature vs Holy Spirit, Galatians 5:16-26)

He told me I was making progress, but I got tripped up. He said to me, stop trying to take on this main sin for now, just keep asking forgiveness. He told me lets start with small problems, or dysfunctions I called them.

Sometimes we have deep hurts in our soul, and they lead us to our sins to escape from the pain. Lord was more concerned about dealing with problems I could handle with him and not so much the big ones. Slowly I tackled one dysfunction with him after another, learning from his Word what he had to say about them. (2 Chronicles 7:14, Matthew 18:21-22)

2. You are not alone

In my first year of salvation, I found myself worried. Jesus lived a perfect life and sacrificed himself for us, and I got that. I can't relate to him, but Paul the writer of most of letters in New Testament. He was just like all of us, and he too had to struggle with his sinful nature.

Grasp that, one of the key writers of the bible had to fight against his own flesh. Yet God still used him and we preach from his writings every day.

Check this out, Romans 7:18-20 NLT(whole passage is Romans 7:14-25 NLT)

18 And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[d] I want to do what is right, but I can’t. 19 I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. 20 But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

and your post...

"I keep saying what I want and need to do but don't do it..."

3. It's a process

Lord created you and he didn't make a mistake in doing that. You are special to the Lord. There is something he placed inside of you that you don't even know you have. Kinda like the diamond in the rough. All you see is the dirty dark coal, but deep inside of you is a precious stone.

Lord doesn't expect you to be perfect or break free from everything right off the bat. Instead its a relationship, and a walk, and a process. You are covered by the grace of God, and it will not depart from you. It will follow you everywhere you go. As it has and still does with me.

Lord is leading you to deliverance, one step at a time. Tell you the truth we are more unforgiving to ourselves than God is to us. Remain humble and sincere, be open with Jesus. If you dare to let him in, he will help you overcome.

Romans 7:24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? 25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Hang on to Jesus and never let him go.

.. I will not leave you or forsake you." Joshua 1:5b ESV

 

[Harry3142]

Jeeyca-

No one will be saved because we are 'good enough' in-and-of ourselves. We simply cannot live our lives totally free of sin. That's why God the Father laid out the plans which enabled him to save us, rather than our saving ourselves. And through his Son's successful completion of all that was needed for our salvation, we have assurance of that salvation through our putting our trust in Jesus rather than in ourselves:

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.

But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished - he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. (Romans 3:19-26,NIV)

and-

What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone." As it is written:

"See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." (Romans 9:30-33,NIV)

As for trying to obey a set of laws only to fail, the reason for Jesus Christ's coming among us as our saviour is due to that same problem's affecting all of us, including even St. Paul himself:

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do - this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God - through Jesus Christ our Lord! (Romans 7:14-25a,NIV)

What St. Paul described in this passage is now called 'paradoxical intention', and is a flaw in our psyche which is common to every human being. What it 'boils down to' is our being incapable of accomplishing anything we try to do. In order to accomplish anything it must come to us naturally. There's even a saying which describes this quirk: "The harder you try, the faster you fail."

This is why we need to put our trust in God not only for our salvation, but also for our proper behavior as Christians. He is the potter; we are the clay. So we need to trust him to mold us into what he wants of us, rather than our atttempting to mold ourselves into what we think he wants of us.

P.S.- If you want a demonstration of paradoxical intention, put your hand on the desk where you are. Then tell yourself, "I will try to raise my hand." You'll find that two opposing sets of muscles are at work; one set is trying to raise your hand, but the other set is keeping it firmly on the desk.

Please try to first forgive yourself. If there are any people you have grudges against or have not forgiven, try hard to forgive them now ~ this will help you to accept Christ's forgiveness and take steps to move ahead.

 

[Peripatetic]

Every one of us has our blind spots and areas of weakness. Some are areas of sin that we will always carry to some degree, but can make progress over time if we have patience and a willingness to learn. Pride and greed are two examples... they aren't a matter of "if" but "how much".

Other times we put too heavy a burden on ourselves because by misinterpreting or over-interpreting scripture. Human sexuality and desire are common examples in this camp. There can certainly be sin in those areas, but the devil loves to condemn people for everything related to our God-given desires.

We may also discover sinful patterns and habits that are stronger in ourselves than others. Addictions can fit this category, but it can also be less extreme behaviors that we should address. Be open to change, but don't demand it overnight. Remember that Jesus loved the sinners, and showed them grace and mercy (whereas He was much harder on the self-righteous). You are doing the right thing in seeking a closer relationship with God... keep your eyes on that, and don't let the barriers lead you to despair and hopelessness.

Dear Jessica. In Luke 10: 25-28: Jesus is asked: " Master what must I do, to inherit Eternal Life? " Jesus answers him: " You know the two Commandments
to Love God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, also:
love thy neighbour as you love thyself." Jesus also told us that on those two Commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. God wants our Love, freely given and No tags attached. Jesus also answered the man: " DO THIS AND YOU SHALL LIVE.
The Bible tells us: " Repent, and be Born Again," HOW? In Matthew 7: 7-10:
we are told: " ask and ye shall receive," we ask God for Love and Joy, then we thank God, and share all Love and Joy with our neighbour: all we know and all we meet, friends and not friends. We keep asking God and thanking God for Love and Joy, then we share it all with our neighbour. God will see our loving efforts, and God will approve and Bless us. Love is very catching, and we will find that we gradually change from being selfish and unloving,
to become as God wants us to be: Love God with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds, And love our neighbour as we love ourselves.
Jesus our Saviour will help and guide us: JESUS IS THE WAY.
God is Love and God wants loving sons and daughters. Remember Jessica,
ask and then receive, then thank God and share all Love and Joy with all around you. I say this with love. Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ.

Hey everybody... I'm just want to know if The Lord will save and deliver me if I keep making the same mistakes and sinning the same way everytime? Lately I've been away and doing things that I know I should not be doing.. How do I know if I'm really saved and really his...I'm struggling hard...

I just keep doing it....

A great many people come to faith in Christ, not because they particularly love the Saviour, but because they fear eternal hell. This motive for seeking salvation often continues to be the motivation for living as a Christian. Many believers obey God because they are afraid not to. Ironically, in trying to obey God this way, they often find themselves disobeying the first and greatest commandment:

Matthew 22:34-38
34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.
35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,
36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"
37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
38 This is the first and great commandment.

How strange - but common - it is for Christians to be going around trying to be obedient to God without ever actually obeying His first and greatest commandment, which is simply to love Him. Unfortunately, when love is not the reason for a Christian's obedience to God, when love does not motivate their prayer, Bible study, church attendance, and righteous living, they soon begin to find obedience to God an unpleasant duty. God knows that love will take His children much farther than fear ever will. He knows that duty soon becomes a burden. If we love God, though, if we love Him deeply and passionately, we will find obedience to Him a joy. And if we take joy in obeying God, we will not be wrestling with disobeying Him and fearing He is about to drop the hammer on us.

So, then, I put the question to you: Do you love Jesus? Do you love your Heavenly Father?

1 John 4:18-19
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
19 We love Him because He first loved us.

I keep saying what I want and need to do but don't do it...

Well, you are in good company! The apostle Paul described the same struggle in Romans 7:

Romans 7:15
15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.

Fortunately, Paul does not leave us to wonder about a solution to this problem. He goes on to explain:

Romans 8:5-6
5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Paul here urges us to "live according to the Spirit" by "setting our minds upon the things of the Spirit." How do we set our mind upon the things of the Spirit? Simple: Study your Bible. A lot. And notice I didn't say "Read your Bible." No, you must set your mind on it, study it, memorize it, let it saturate your thinking. As you do this, you will become "spiritually minded" and enter into "life and peace." All this rests, of course, on you wanting to do so, and that desire to do so comes out of your love for God. You see how things are all connected?

how do I fully trust The Lord and listen to his will and not my own..? How do I fully submit my whole self to him....

All that God demands of you He first supplies to you. And all of these things are yours in the Person of His Holy Spirit. Faith, trust, love, the desire to submit and obey - these all issue from the Spirit of God who lives within you. Paul the apostle explains:

Philippians 2:12-13
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

You can only work out what God has first worked in. God gives you both the desire and the ability to do His will. What a relief! If it was all up to us to be like Christ, we'd be doomed to failure!

lately I been hearing al these bad thoughts And dreaming these dreams that really frighten me.. I don't want to belong to the dark and I don't want

If you've accepted Christ as your Saviour from your sins, you are no longer under the power of darkness.

Colossians 1:12-14
12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
13He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

The Lord to turn me away on judgement day because I can't seem to escape my past...

As others have already explained, God accepts you because of what Christ has done for you on the cross of Calvary, not because you were good enough, or deserved to be accepted.

It seem like my sin is always before me and I can't catch up.... I can't live like this anymore but I'm not doing anything to make it different... I know it's in me and I feel he knows it's in me but idk how to release it..

My dear, the "it" that is in you is not an "it," but the Holy Spirit, who is a Person - the third Person of the Trinity. You cannot make yourself like Christ. That is entirely God's job. Your "job," if you like, is to get out of His way, to submit, or yield to His will and work in your life. As you do, God's Spirit transforms you.

I love him I really do but I don't act or treat him like I do... I feel so fake.. I feel like I'm just spitting in his face... I'm getting tired of my self.. I ask for forgiveness and mercy so much and it's always for the same thing ....! What do I do... Will he save me.?

Love must inevitably be expressed in deeds. The apostle John wrote:

1 John 3:18-19
18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

If you do truly love Jesus, well, actions speak louder than words. You gain assurance of your acceptance by God by loving obedience to Him. In any case, be assured that God does not drop you when you struggle with sin. He knows you need to be thoroughly convinced of your utter inability to be like Christ in your own strength. The tool He uses to do this is our own moral failure. Sometimes we have to fail a lot and get really desperate before we are willing to depend upon God totally as He tells us to.

You know, Christians often are pleading with God for stuff He has already given to them. THey ask God for power, for righteous desire, for faith, etc when God has already given these things to them in the Person of His Spirit. All that remains is for the Christian to believe that this is so and to begin to relax into the truth of the Holy Spirit's complete sufficiency for all of their spiritual needs.

I feel like my spiritual eyes and ears are no longer open and my heart hurts.. How do I just give my all to him..

Giving your all to God doesn't mean that you must suddenly leap into a state of deep holy perfection! When God changes us, it is a natural, effortless thing. It is only when we try to add our own human effort to God's work that things get screwed up. Admit you are completely unable to be the person God wants you to be. Ask God to work in you to change your motives, desires and actions. Submit (often moment by moment) to the work of God in your heart and mind. Wait expectantly, in faith believing, that God will finish the work in you that He began. Relax. God isn't in a terrible rush; you shouldn't be, either. It takes many years for an acorn to become a mighty oak; it takes a few months for squash to grow. What do you want to be? A squash or a mighty oak?

Selah.

A guilty conscience is a good thing for a Christian, because it drives you back to the hope that is in Christ. Heb. 12:1-11.

[tenderheart1]

Everyone struggles with sin on a daily basis. But the bible does teach us to have self-control. When we repent, we "turn from" our wicked ways. James tells us that if we know to do something and don't do it, it is sin. And while God loves each of us very much, sin will separate us from having fellowship with Him. From 2010 - 2013, I went through a nasty divorce and decided I wanted to live my life for me; not God. I had lived for God all my life. Had put him first in everything I did. I put myself on the backburner. Well, in those 3 years, I wanted to pray and ask God to bless me, but I knew I had no right to ask such things because I was not living for him. Now that I have rededicated my life to him, he gives me the strength I need to rise above sin. Don't get me wrong, I struggle just like everyone else does. But his holy spirit gives me power to reign over sin and he will do the same for you. I would encourage you to find someone in your local church that you can talk to. Someone you can be accountable to. And pray for God to touch your heart and help you overcome. It also sounds to me like you are being spiritually attacked (the dreams, etc...). Learn about spiritual warfare and how to stand against your enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and ultimately destroy you. My prayers are with you.

I am not sure how it is you are actually missing the mark, as you are not getting to specifics. But, try and stick to the words of Jesus, and this guides you into forgiveness.

If you keep his words, you also keep Him, as John pointed out.

And Jesus had many things to say about condemnation and judgment.


And forgiveness.

Pay attention to times the fear, guilt, and victim tones well up in you. It sounds like you cycle in these, and they spin downward like a whirlpool.

Remind yourself,
"I can do all things in Christ, who strengthens me."

One of the names for evil beings is "Accuser" (Greek). They know that accusations drag us down and make us feel helpless. The mindset becomes like the Oz poppy field, where we just want to lay down and sleep, instead of dealing with it.

Start looking at your life with less blame, and more authority. Even though we are sinners, Jesus still gave us authority to heal and set people free, to stand up to supernatural beings, to stand firmly as children of God. Taking this on is not a natural act -- we need to give ourselves the right to do it. Exercise faith to believe that we have His household authority.

Think of it like parents going out for the evening, leaving you in charge of the house. If kids outside start throwing rocks at the house, you have the authority to call police. If a fire starts, you put it out and have authority to call the fire department.

When despairing thoughts start recycling, you have authority to stop them. You are not condemned, through Christ who saved you.

Hey everybody... I'm just want to know if The Lord will save and deliver me if I keep making the same mistakes and sinning the same way everytime? Lately I've been away and doing things that I know I should not be doing.. How do I know if I'm really saved and really his...I'm struggling hard... I haven't been honest with him nor talking to him ... But I do pray here and there. I've been scared because I don't want to go to hell and I haven't been doing anything to change... I just keep doing it....

I keep saying what I want and need to do but don't do it...how do I fully trust The Lord and listen to his will and not my own..? How do I fully submit my whole self to him....lately I been hearing al these bad thoughts And dreaming these dreams that really frighten me.. I don't want to belong to the dark and I don't want The Lord to turn me away on judgement day because I can't seem to escape my past... It seem like my sin is always before me and I can't catch up.... I can't live like this anymore but I'm not doing anything to make it different... I know it's in me and I feel he knows it's in me but idk how to release it.. I love him I really do but I don't act or treat him like I do... I feel so fake.. I feel like I'm just spitting in his face... I'm getting tired of my self.. I ask for forgiveness and mercy so much and it's always for the same thing ....! What do I do... Will he save me.?

I feel like my spiritual eyes and ears are no longer open and my heart hurts.. How do I just give my all to him..

Hard to say what you mean by bad thoughts or escaping your past, but as you are a contrite sinner, you surely are not going to be on bad terms with the Lord.

So the problem is you are overblowing matters. But sensitivity to the will of the Lord is important, that is, though these things surely mean nothing to the Lord, that you are very concerned about the Lord would be seen as endearing.

I can assure you though, as you are just a 19 year old female, even if you were using crack cocaine and working the streets at 12 you are forgiven.

People not so well off are those who do not think about the Lord and the Lord's acceptance. Many of whom believe everything is A-OK with the Lord, when the Lord actually does not even know them.


Not someone such as your self.

Jessyca, I would recommend your spending time with God each day in the Scriptures, searching for your answers, in Gospel truth with the help of the Holy Spirit. As you do this, at a regular time each day, at least, with your whole heart, God will give you the answers you need for assurance of salvation and continuing growth in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord of your life. My prayers are with you.

P. S. Romans 8 would be a good place to start.

Dear Jessyca. You had some good replies, and to pray is always good.
In Matthew 22: 35-40: Jesus give s us good advice. The first and great Commandment is: Love God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. The second is like it: Love thy neighbour as thyself." There Jesus also points out: "On these two Commandments to love God and love your neighbour, hang all the Law and the Prophets." Love is very important to our Heavenly Father.
The Bible tells us: "Repent and be Born Again," give up all selfishness and become Loving and Caring. In Matthew 7: 7-10: we are told: " ask and you shall receive," then thank God and share all Love and Joy with your neighbour." Keep asking and receiving, then thank God and share all Love and Joy with all you know and all you meet. God will see your loving efforts, and God will approve and bless you. In Luke 10: 25-28: Jesus is asked:
" Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus answered: " You know the two Commandments to Love God and love your neighbour? DO THIS AND YOU SHALL LIVE." Will the Lord save me? ask and you hall receive all you ask
and pray for. ( Matthew 7: 7-10 I say this with love, Jessyca.
Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ.

Ok first off the very first thing you should do when you sin is pray sincerely for forgiveness every time you sin. Next you need to find someone in your church or just a friend in general who can hold you accountable for the sin you are having trouble with. Also a good step would be maybe to get a pray partner on here, there are many ways to improve. Remember God is not human to where he loses patience like we do. God is the most patient being in existence, and he will constantly work things out with you, and help you. Jesus paid a very deep price to ransom you from the enemy do you really think God is going to lose what he gained so easily? No of course not your God's child. Keep praying and pursuing God, and always remember that when you draw near to God he will draw near to you. Great ways to connect with God besides prayer is to play worship music, like for example in the car try playing Klove or something like that. You'll be fine!
