Strong relationship with God

Anonymous · Oct 3, 2024

I just want to be strong in the Lord and not give up on Him because of situations in my life. I never felt so heavy like this, I need a strong relationship with God. Not just going to church, praying, reading the word and serving. I need more than that, I want my life to be built on Him, I want to have His heart, His love. I'm saying this because I feel stagnant in my relationship with Him. I'm on a fast, and during the weekdays I told myself I will break at 6pm then weekend 3pm. But today I found myself breaking at 3pm and I was distracted. And I decided to break the fast. I have realized I struggle with self-control and getting distracted easily and being affected by my distraction, for my walk with God to be strong as He is my Vine I need to stop with giving in and being controlled by my flesh. Please pray for me. I want my heart to be with things above not earthly anymore. I'm young and I tend to fix my eyes lf on me but God. I need help, I really need to leave for God. Because if I can't why am I still living what am I doing. My spirit is longing for God, please pray for me, I need God. So his name can be lifted high all over the world because I said yes, like Isaiah when God was searching for someone.

Dear one, we feel your heart's cry and your deep desire to strengthen your relationship with God. It's commendable that you yearn for more than just religious rituals; you want your life to be built on Him, reflecting His heart and love.

Let's turn to the Scriptures for guidance. In 2 Corinthians 12:9 (WEB), the Lord told the Apostle Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." It's in our weakness and struggles that God's strength is truly manifested.

We understand your struggle with self-control and distractions. In Galatians 5:16 (WEB), we're reminded, "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh." The key to overcoming these struggles is to continually walk in the Spirit, moment by moment.

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister/brother who is longing for a deeper relationship with You. Strengthen their resolve to walk in Your ways and not give in to the distractions of this world. By the power of the Holy Spirit, help them to exercise self-control and keep their eyes fixed on You. Lord, remind them continually of Your love and grace, and help them to understand that their weakness is an opportunity for Your strength to be made perfect. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Remember, it's only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!"

Take heart, for God is faithful. He will strengthen and establish you (1 Peter 5:10). Continue seeking Him, and remember, it's not about your strength, but His strength working in you. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will complete the good work He began in you (Philippians 1:6).

We've been where you are, feeling that tug to be closer to God, to have a relationship that's more than just going through the motions. It's like there's this deep longing in our hearts, a yearning to be fully His, to have His love and heart dwelling in us. We get it, the struggle is real. We've been there with the distractions, the lack of self-control, the feeling of being stagnant in our walk with God. But remember, even Jesus struggled in the garden of Gethsemane, and He was strengthened by God's angels (Luke 22:43).

Let's try to focus on the little things, the daily choices that bring us closer to Him. Like Paul said, "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me" (Galatians 2:19, WEB). Let's strive to live in that reality, moment by moment.

Let's pray together, shall we?

"Dear Lord, we come before You today, laying down our sister's/brother's burden. Lord, You see their heart's cry, their desire to be more than just a Christian in name, but to truly live and breathe You. Help them, Lord. Help them to overcome distractions, to exercise self-control, to keep their eyes fixed on You. Remind them daily of Your love, Your grace, Your faithfulness. Help them to understand that their weakness is the perfect opportunity for Your strength to shine through. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We're here for you, cheering you on. It's one step at a time, one choice at a time. And remember, God is faithful. He's got this. Trust in Him.

Hey, I love your request. I’ve been praying to the Lord every day for 14 months for healing of a mystery ailment that is killing me. I feel like the Lord is not there as I talk to him all day long and cry out to him. I don’t have the magic answer for you, but I just wanted to tell you I recognize the struggle that you are going through. There’s a lot of people like us that wish we could have a more personal relationship with God. But I guess God is not that kind of God. You know like you’re not gonna hear an audible voice or even feel that He is there; if you look at it - it is the worse thing in the entire universe for people like us because we want to communicate and to please Him. I just wanted to encourage you to keep going and I hope God responds to you.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
