God knows future means he know in what all ways thing can happen. He has also provided limited free will to choose among the various paths he has allowed. Prayer to God help in God allowing more favorable ways to happen for us. Also prayer is not limited to worldly matters alone, we also pray for forgiving of our sins, acceptance of good deeds and for  salvation in hereafter.

I DO!!! This world keeps pulling us down doesn't it! But you know, being on Y! Answers has really helped me, here I can praise and worship God(with some fellow Christians and some none Christians) here I get to share my faith. It's great!!! For me the way I get close to God is listening to some really good music, sit down with my Bible, notepad, and pencil, start reading and write away! It's amazing how much more you notice when you write stuff down. God Bless you sister and hold strong to the faith!!!

I pray and intercede for others (and myself) all of the time. Sometimes it's by myself and sometimes it is while praying together with others.  Sometimes it's through regular prayer, and sometimes it's through praying in tongues. Sometimes I understand and know what I'm praying, and sometimes I do not. In any case, there are so many benefits to it:\n\nWhen Interceding for Others\n\n1. I know others are interceding for me and it is an honor for me to be able to do the same for them.\n\n2.  I get to see God answer my prayers and I see the fruit in people's lives.\n\n3.  There is the satisfaction of knowing that when you do it, you are not only obeying God but pleasing Him deeply.\n\n4.  You experience deep personal intimacy with God. Have you ever been so close to someone that you could finish their sentences, and you begin to know and understand their desires?  When you intercede for others, God is sharing His heart with you.  He is asking you to pray and telling you specifically what for. It can be very intimate.  Would you reveal your deep longings to someone you were not close to? So it is with God.  He gets' close to you in order to do it.  Hearing God speak to you and express His heart to you is one of the greatest things in the world!\n\nWhen Interceding for Myself\n\nOften I will pray and ask God for answers.  I also ask Him all of the time to search my heart.  I ask HIm to convict me of any sin in my life and just to speak to me.\n\nDuring these times God often makes me aware of sins and other things in me that I honestly was not aware of, and I am able to repent and change to make right whatever I need to.  God also speaks to me and touches my heart this way.  It is a great way to draw nearer to God and get to know HIm more.  It's awesome!!!

Here is a standard outline for people who want to have a saving relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Feel free to contact me via this site if you have any questions. I pray that God will welcome you into His family, in Jesus' name, Amen!\n\nRoman Road: The Highway to a Relationship with God\nRoman Road – it’s not just a systematic way to build highways inherited from the Roman Empire in the 1st Century. It’s also God’s plan of salvation set forth in Paul’s letter to the Romans. Also known as the Roman Road, the following is a collection of passages that build a beautiful and systematic approach to the gospel of grace by and through Jesus Christ.\n\nRoman Road: The Gospel of Grace\nFollow Me: \n\nRomans 1:20-21: "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened." We must acknowledge God as the Creator of everything and accept our humble position in God's creation. \n\nRomans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.” We must all realize that we are sinners and that we need forgiveness. We are not worthy of God’s grace. \n\nRomans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His love toward us, in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Through Jesus, God gave us a way to be saved from our sins. God showed us His love by giving us the potential for life through the death of His Son, Jesus Christ. \n\nRomans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” If we remain sinners, we will die. However, if we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and repent of our sins, we will have eternal life. \n\nRomans 10:9-10 “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Just confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved! \n\nRomans 10:13 “For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” There are no religious formulas or rituals -- Call upon the name of the Lord and you will be saved! \n\nRomans 11:36: "For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen." Determine in your heart to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life today. \n\nRoman Road: Are You Ready to Accept God’s Gift of Salvation?\nIf you truly believe the message of the Roman Road, and want to accept God’s gift of salvation right now, it's a matter of repenting of your sins and turning the rest of your life over to Jesus Christ. Again, this is not a ritual based on any specific words or prayers, but rather, a willful decision and a sincere step of faith. \n\n“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.” \n\n"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)\n\nIf you decided to receive Jesus today, welcome to God's family. Now, as a way to grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on

I think it is wonderful to talk to God like a close friend.\n\nJesus even called God "Abba" which means "Daddy" or "Papa."\n\nWith love in Christ.

i ask myself that everyday....i know I'm not doing everything God would have me to do...i still fall short according to the bible...but i think he may be somewhat pleased that I'm trying and pushing and getting to a point where I'm letting go of weights that hold me back....you want to know that you are pleasing God.

AMEN! I try to stay as close to God as I can get, because the closer to God I get, the farther the Devil has to stay from me!

I do, and I try to find something that I can relate to, not just reading any chapter & verse. God works in mysterious ways. Ask him to guide your eyes and fingers to what He wants you to know. Ask Him to speak to you through this devotion time. AND HE WILL...God Bless

Because I know him, and I tend to believe in beings I know. I mean, I believe that you are there because there is evidence of you--hence, I know you. I believe in God because there is evidence of him in my life--hence, I know him. Moreover, my relationship with God grows. Evidence of a living God.

I think it's a spiritual thing.  I think God connects us with certain people for certain reasons and the ones we feel like we don't know are headed in a different direction than us spiritually.
