Hello friend,
As a Christian, I have a personal
desire to help others to grow in their walk with Christ. That being said, a big
problem with Christianity today is that many people believe that they can ask
for anything, and God will grant it to them. The danger in this is that people
will doubt God’s existence when He doesn’t give something to them. Also, when
you expect God to give you anything that you want, it takes all the accountability
off of yourself. This is very dangerous. As a Christian brother I
would like to help you realize how you can obtain what you want by reading the Bible
and by taking action to become who God would have you be.
Philippians 4:6 says – “Be
careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” But, just because we
are making God aware of what we want, doesn’t mean that He will magically give
it to us. As Christians we need to take responsibility for our own actions, and
we need to take action to make our life the way that we want it to be. Prayer
shouldn’t just be used as a way to vent; it should be used as a way to
recognize the change that we desire, so that we can then strive to achieve
those goals.
Prayer is key in a Christian’s
walk with Christ, but many of us are reactive in our prayer. Our prayers tend to
consist of more complaining than anything. Yes, it is good to vent, but we
should try our best to abstain from reactive prayer. When you pray, you should
make sure that you are trying to achieve those goals yourself. This is
proactive prayer.
It is important to grow
close to God in prayer, but you can’t learn about Him by praying. That is why it’s
very crucial that we read the word of God. To become like God, we need to learn
what He is like, and that doesn’t mean going to church to learn about Him. We
should be reading the Bible daily. This is a very crucial part of you becoming
the strong and disciplined Christian soldier that God wants you to be.
In Christ,
