Need to be closer to God
I want to learn how to pray
My friends, don’t be surprised at the painful things that you are now suffering, which are testing your faith. Don’t think that something strange is happening to you. But you should be happy that you are sharing in Christ’s sufferings….
But if you suffer because you are a “Christ-follower,” don’t be ashamed. You should praise God for that name. It is time for judging to begin. That judging will begin with God’s family. If it begins with us, then what will happen to those who don’t accept the Good News of God?
“If it is hard for even a good person to be saved, what will happen to the one who is against God and full of sin?” So if God wants you to suffer, you should trust your lives to him. He is the one who made you, and you can trust him. So continue to do good. 1 Peter 4:12-13a; 16-19 (ERV)
God’s grace - something that can’t be earn
Some people, including myself have the wrong concept that God would only answer my prayers when I’d earned it. I must do certain things or abstain myself from certain activities before God will grant my wish.
If we think that we need to do so many things before God can bless us, is it exchanging effort for grace? The definition of grace is receiving gifts that you don’t deserve. So what many people including myself is to let go and let God help us.
I just need to stop making myself worthy in front of God, because I would never be worthy enough for His grace of allowing Jesus to die on the cross for me. I need to let go and let His perfect plan to work on me.
