I believe. It's been a long irritating silence. To be honest, God makes for a crappy pen-pal. I suppose he has more important things to worry about. On the otherhand, just because he isn't paying attention to me, doesn't mean he isn't there. I'm not sure I'd want that much attention anyway. We leave eachother alone, and things seem to work out anyway. What do you mean leave him? Renounce him, or actually leave? Got yourself a space ship? I'm sorry man, a crisis of faith can be unsettling.

I am concerned.Preaching hellfire and brimstone is not always going to be the best way to start off a conversation.Every single one of us are different.Some people go off at the mere mention of Jesus Christ or all religions for that matter.Then some are willing to here what some people say with an open mind.Some people who witness to others don't always think out what their going to do,and how their going to do it.Some people are given the gift of bringing souls to Christ.Some stumble when they try.\n\nPeople that witness to others cannot and will not ever be able to make someone believe.There holy mandate is to bring the gospel to the masses,and have grace when doing so.Not everybody can find that fine line.\n\nNext time someone witnesses to you,and you feel their wrong.Tell them to stop,and to remember the way Jesus did it.He did it with grace,love,and adhering to his father's law.\n\nPeace be unto you.

God speaks for Himself through His Word (the Bible) and through His Messengers (preachers).  i am not a preacher, and I won't pretend to know the Bible inside and out, but I know this much:  God Loves You.  He loves you so much, he gave up His Son on your behalf.  He loves you now, and he has always loved you. He is waiting to know whether you love him...

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.

The same way you do anybody else.  Communicate.  Last I checked, God doesn't send a burning bush for every prayer concern.  He gave us a brain to study his word and a soul to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leanings...don't turn God into a cosmic fortune teller.

Christians will talk about Jesus;\nMuslims about Muhhamed, both about God.\n\nI guess God is most interested in persons who are strong and brave and willing enough to find the answer by thesmelves, and not wait for it to drop upon them from heaven.\n\nYou are what you want yourself to be. Your knoweldge forms your character, your character forms your habbits, your habbits decide your destiny. \nThere are no limits to what you could do :)

starcameo,\n\nI am very surprised and pleased that you have admitted your struggle in such a public forum. The fact that you are open minded in your search for truth is great.\n\nI am hesitant to offer advice because if you conduct a legitimate search for truth, you will find it. I searched for truth myself. Since I found the truth, I have confined my search for truth to the Bible and to God Himself. After all, it doesn’t make sense to search in all the other places any more because I have already found the truth.\n\nThis is the only advice that I will give you. Find a place where you can be alone and ask God out loud if He is real to reveal Himself to you. Then wait. It could be immediate – it could be a while, but God wants to know you much more than you want to know Him. He may send people across your path, or He may approach you in some supernatural way, but He will reach out to you if you ask Him to. If you are really desperate to find God, just go ahead and ask Jesus to save you.\n\nPlease contact me when God reveals Himself to you, and let me know how He did it. At that point, if you like, I can tell you the best ways to renew your mind.\n\nGod bless.

After spending time with Eve, Adam was walking in the Garden with God. Adam told God how much the woman means to him and how blessed he feels to have her. Adam began to ask questions about her. \nAdam: Lord, Eve is beautiful. Why did you make her so beautiful? \n\nGod: So you will always want to look at her. \n\nAdam: Lord, her skin is so soft. Why did you make her skin so soft? \n\nGod: So you will always want to touch her. \n\nAdam: She always smells so good. Lord, why did you make her smell so good? \n\nGod: So you will always want to be near her. \n\nAdam: That's wonderful Lord, and I don't want to seem ungrateful, but why did you make her so stupid? \n\nGod: So she would love you\n\n\n\nhaha love that one =]\n\nxx

absolutely! He doesn't want to listen to all that monotonous babbeling day in day out. He will simply ignore it. personally I'm not big on prayer, however I am constantly informed that the best way to reach God is to simply talk to Him as you would engage anyone in proper conversation. this makes far more sense to me.

I met the Lord through my older brother...I was going to commit suicide (my brother did not know this) he asked me if I wanted to go, I said I was not dressed, he said he would wait, I could not think of any other excuse, so I went to Church..\n\nI called the Pastor a Jesus Freak and I told him that he was crazy to believe in God and Jesus and the Bible was written by man not God..little did I know that our Lord, had other plans for me..\n\nThe following week I went back to Church to condemn them once more, but before I could say anything, the Pastor asked who would like to be baptized, without even realizing it, my hand went straight up into the air..I was baptized and asked Jesus into my heart that very afternoon on August 28, 1978..\n\nI was immediately delivered from drugs, swearing, and hatred for those that had done me wrong..Our Heavenly Father bestowed down upon me His Holy Spirit, which cleansed my heart from all unrightousness..Our Heavenly Father, who forgave my past sins, placed within my heart His Glorious and wonderful Love, His Joy unspeakable and His Peace that Passeth all Understanding..\n\nI can go unto my Lord in prayer, when satan comes to attack..for Greater is He Who is in me..that he who is in the world.. \n\nMy Faith means EVERYTHING to me..The Lord is my helper and my provider..He will always be there for me..when no one else is...For He will never leave me nor forsake me..Amen\n\nLet this my prayer be, More and More of Thee and less and less of me..Amen \n\nLet His Will be done..not mine...Amen

You know what?  God enjoys nothing better than when we actually WANT to know!\nASK HIM to reveal Himself to you.  Tell him you want to KNOW FOR REAL and to KNOW FOR YOURSELF.  Tell him everything you're feeling, man.  i.e. " I don't even know if I believe this",  "I feel stupid talking to something I can't see",  "I can't believe all the stupid crap I've heard",...\nwhatever.\nIf you really want to know, just ask.  And then back up baby, cause He's fixing to blow your mind!\nROCK ON!

I don't know what questions I would ask of God.  Have you ever read "Till We Have Faces," by C. S. Lewis?  I don't know if I have a question I could ask that He wouldn't refer me back to what has been revealed.  I'm relatively certain that any question I could come up with would be completely and utterly lame.\n\nMy husband and I are open with each other.  Other than silly things like "how can a man who hates onions, tomatoes and peppers love salsa?" or "how can such a neat freak toss his socks into the ceiling fan to see how far they will fly and then just leave them wherever that may be?" or "how can he possibly sleep while getting his teeth cleaned?" I have no major unresolved issues.\n\nMy parents are tougher.  I wonder if my mom was the way she was to me because she was molested.  Or if my father is related to me biologically.  I have a vivid memory of being around 9 and going to an apartment complex with Mom and my younger sister (she would have been 3) and Mom trying to decide whether to go in some guy's apartment for a job interview that she wasn't sure was a job interview and leaving me and my sister outside the apartment or whether she should just take us all home.  I can remember being terrified, but I honestly have no recollection of what she chose.\n\nSometimes those things have haunted me, and I've thought that I needed the answers, but I'm reasonably sure that I'll never get them.  And some, I may not want to know.  I could drag my sister to have DNA testing to see if we have both parents in common, but I don't know if it's worth it in the end to know.  It was what it was.  We survived it.\n\nIt would be a whole lot of drama for something that isn't going to change my day to day life now.\n\nSometimes it's hard to know when to press for answers and when to accept that you may not get them.

Sometimes God speaks directly to us through His Word (the Bible) and a verse or verses from Scripture will not only go into our minds but straight to our hearts also and when that happens your heart may quicken a few beats.  Sometimes when God speaks to us from His Word, you may be led to read and re-read certain scriptures over and over again and they may not make sense at the time but God will show you what they mean at a time which is more appropriate for you and a situation you may face. \n\nSometimes God speaks a word of prophesy to you about something that will come to passthrough another Christian and if it definately comes to pass you then know it was from God.  \n\nSometimes, God speaks through a set of circumstances and too many things happen by chance for it to be coincidence. \n\nI would however add that if you don't expect God to speak to you then that is what you will get, i.e. disappointment!  Expect God to speak to you if you are walking in obedience to Him and He most certainly will.\n\nI hope this is of help to you as these are some of the ways God has spoken directly to me and I know God uses these methods in other Christians lives.\n\nFinally, we will know if we are doing God's will because we will have God's peace which passes all understanding to guide us.  If you step in the wrong direction, He will let you know when He withdraws His peace for a time until you get back in fellowship with Him.\n\nWe need to be in tune with God by spending time in His Word (the Bible), prayer and obedience.  \n\nI hope this helps you.

From him, through conversation.

Yes, You can talk to God thru your prayers, and he answers thru his word, reading the bible, God speaks back to us.  there is nothing that you can think of that the answer is not in the bible.  He Created everything and he Knew that there would come a time when we will have questions, so he had the answers available in the Bible for us to look it up.  God also speaks to us through our dreams, or little children that don't even know what they are saying but it will make sense to you.
