There's just one life to live, and I want to spend this life not just being busy with my work, but also knowing who God truly is. I agree with you that we have to come to Him with fear and trembling. It's not the kind of fear that a child may have towards..a ghost. It's the kind of fear that is paying respect to our Father, highly-esteeming Him, praising Him , worshiping Him, acknowledging that everything in this world belongs to Him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636548.post-37372747188062499442010-02-13T22:14:18.593-06:002010-02-13T22:14:18.593-06:00Given God's position above us, it is easy to u...Given God's position above us, it is easy to understand that the best of praying is listening. It is our optimal response to the One we most respect. But we have to risk talking to God, too. Start with praise followed by requesting forgiveness. Listen for God's response. When you feel the relief of being forgiven, go in peace and risk conversing and interacting with other humans again. Repeat these steps many times each day and most things will go well. Even if you get rejected when trying to apologize to another human, you know God has forgiven you and that's what really matters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
