Jeremiah 30:22
And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Genesis 2:7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils, the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Personally speaking, God has done so much for me and had been before I was even serving him. I just didn't know it at the time that I wasn't saved. When I got Saved, I was excited to learn more about Jesus Christ, and what he had done for me and will do for me. God Knows before hand and will know after wards too. You have a choice, free will, You choose to serve or go to Hell. Not sugar coating it. I chose to serve, does that mean I am perfect? NO, far from it. Does that mean I won't have anymore troubles in life? Absolutely Not, I struggle everyday to stay on the right path. I fall short, but I know I have faith in my God, that he is still working on me.
Matthew 1:21
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Matthew 4:17
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
When you start trusting God and letting him in your heart and life, he will guide you and you will build that connection with him that you need. These tips shall help to build that connection with him:
Pray more- God can't help if you don't bow and ask. But that's not all when you bow and pray you should believe also in your heart that what you asked will happen. I know that can somewhat be easier said than done in some cases. It will take time to do that, but you will never learn if you don't start somewhere. So why not today?
Read the Living Word More- Not only is praying important but, reading the word is too. It's feeding your faith and soul. It teaches you how you need to change your mind and ways on this earth until he arrives. Each time you read the bible, you can go back the next day and it can mean something totally different then it did the day before. It has happened to me, plenty of times.
Keep God First- Keep him first, even through daily task such as: work, babysitting, school, whatever the case may be. Put God First, because that's will also teach you obedience and God will love that. Even when I am working, I take time to stop in the middle not matter stressful day or the most happiest day, and I pray to God in my head and even if it's just to say thank you Lord. I do it!
Change- God can change you but, you also got to change yourself to. God won't do all the work, you got to put it in too and show him you want to change and be better. It can be hard at first considering temptations, but Jesus will reward thee in Heaven if you overcome temptation. Jesus was tempted, btu he fought through because he knew. But I will say this, after I was baptized I started seeing things differently, and starting understanding what Jesus says in the Bible. So I will tell you getting baptized, does help!
Matthew 10:16
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
John 6:20
But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
When following God, he will protect you from harm. He tells us not to be afraid. When you let God take the lead in your life, he can take your trouble away. He can make you slow to anger, and take away worries, anxiety, depression, weakness away and bless you with calmness and protection in the midst of storms in your life.
Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble:
1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
When you give your heart to him, it will be like you are a new person. Because he forgets the past and focuses on the new you. He will break chains that was once holding you back.
Psalm 34:4
I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 40:1
I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
Psalm 40:2
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
Psalm 43:5
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
You will never find a greater love on this earth than the love he has for all of us. He can change a broken heart into a healed heart. He can take the pain that the enemy has left you with and mend it back to whole new perspective in your life. He can change your life in the matter of seconds.
1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of the love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
1 John 4:10
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:19
We love him, because he first loved us.
God can give you peace where there was hate, anger, and spirits that have left you in pieces. When you let God lead, he can guide you to places you never dreamed of. He can replace what is missing and put you in a different path way for you to take. When you let God lead God will build up what was once tore down. God will teach you when you read his word. He will be with you through tough times and great times. God will never abandon you. He is one you can count on when you can't count on anyone else. You are not alone in this world, we all have problems we go through. But God can make a difference.
Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Sometimes we find ourselves not knowing what to do and forget that prayer works. Don't be to busy to spend time and to put God first. Pray to him even on great days. God has done amazing things for me in my life. Will you let him do the same for you?
Be Blessed!!
