This morning, I had the opportunity to meet with a guy from church, and through him, God taught me some valuable lessons. One of the lessons that has stuck with me through the day is his view on the way a lot of people are talking to God. I’m paraphrasing here, but this is the basic idea of what he said:

I realize this might not apply to you, but it did apply to me. When he said this, I was reminded of a lot of my prayers to God, when I was shouting at Him or demanding things from Him. Not all of my communication with Him has been like this, but enough to be convicted for what I have done. I have spent the rest of the day talking “nice” to God. Mainly, I’m just trying to speak to Him as the Heavenly Father that He is. It has made a huge difference in my prayers today, and I have felt a lot different when talking to Him. I almost feel like maybe I’m being heard more. It’s been a revelation, to know that I don’t need to scream and yell like a child to be heard by my Father.

This isn’t a lesson to be forgotten, and I will surely remember it forever! If you’re reading this, thanks again Keith! To God be the Glory!

Side Note: I apologize to all Internet Explorer visitors. It has been brought to my attention that this website is not being displayed properly in IE (not a shock). I would encourage you to upgrade to a modern browser that supports proper CSS coding. My recommendation would be Mozilla Firefox. It’s free and it protects your computer from viruses, unlike IE (which is harmful for your computer). I am working on fixing the bugs, so that IE will display the page properly, but I’m not sure when this problem will be fixed. Thanks again for reading!
