Anyway, the experience was undeniably refreshing and so was the sermon. It was about prayer. Nothing crazy and out of the box..simple- but powerful. It reminded me how truly powerful and necessary prayer is. Also, now necessary it is to have a relationship with God.
We cannot do this on our own. We need Him. To be faithful, committed and have a loving, passionate, deep and unending relationship with God-so necessary. I have been praying a lot more in the last month, rekindling my relationship with Him. It has been amazing. How funny is it that when you choose to distance yourself from Him and decide you can go through this crazy thing called life on your own- it comes crashing down. No matter how "spiritual" or "happy" or "organized and well planned" you are or how many "good thoughts" you think and try to put in yourself and in the world- it never works! It never works and if it somewhat does- it is false. It is being held together by the stickiness of the world and not the UNFAILING "super glue" - if you will- of GOD. Nothing else will give you the JOY you feel when things are of God, held by God, given by God.
So pray, tell him, ask him....have a relationship with him! :)
