Why would you ever mention to someone that they praise God, if God already knew everyone's thought and feeling

One doesn't do that for God, one does that for themselves.\n\nIt attenuates the human psyche to the Divinity of God.\n\nI have a picture of myself with an halo.\n\nI am not an angel, but the picture helps to keep me in a state or worship, and reminds me that I am able to be an angel to some people.\n\n\nNamaste.

Praising the Lord is a major key to a deep personal relationship with the Lord.  For this past year, when I went to a pastor other Christian for advice, the same message came to me each and every time, but I was hard headed and it had to be repeated until I finally got it through my thick head.  Start and end each day in worship.  This can be songs or simply words of praise and thanks.  \nIE...\n"Thank you Lord for supplying all of my needs.  I praise you Lord for you are mighty and holy and worthy of praise."\n\nThere is an awesome book by Stormie Omartian called, "The Prayer That Changes Everything: The Hidden Power of Praising God".  This is a great tool for you to learn more about the dynamics of worship.  I hope it helps.

Maybe as a way to stop taking herself too seriously. If everyone all worshipped you, you'd probably develop an ego problem. Maybe atheists help god keep things in perspective?

God is a firm connection between all of us.  We all have many things in common which connect us to each other.  What one of us will do has an impact on each other so we need to be thoughtful about how we live.  I think even if we don't see someone what we do can have a profound outcome either good or bad.

I believe that God puts people in your life for a reason, and that there are times when there is a connection that can go deeper than that of a sibling relationship. I have had several freinds like that, who will call me and say, I sensed something is wrong, i've been praying for you, or, for me, I will keep 'seeing' them, in my minds eye, or hearing their voice, so I will call to check on them. It's an awesome thing! Be thankful you have the sensitivity to percieve what is going on, because I think most people get so busy they brush it off.

When I realise how much God loves me. It sounds sad, but it's my honest answer. To realise a creator loves you. Puts everything into perspective.

God already knows that you are perfect, She is the one who created you.\n\nAny other idea would mean that She had made a mistake. We all know that that can't happen.\n\nLove and blessings Don

Yes I do! It is probably the most important part of my prayers. I am thankful for all my blessings..as we should be. I just have to look around, at the news, seeing how people suffer, all kinds of tragedies, etc. to really know how blessed by God, that I am. We all have our troubles, but in spite of them, I think we need to acknowledge all that we have, and tell God how much we appreciate it...

I've had a couple times where I really felt God with me.  The one I recall most: I was thinking of His actions that confuse and/or disturb me.  I started crying hard.  So I prayed, and told God what I was thinking.  Next thing I know, my tears dry up, my breathing slows down, and my whole body relaxes.  I have no doubt God was comforting me!

I don't know if I am special in the eyes of God or not. I know I love God and wish to please Him and I pray everyday I do. As for me being unique to humanity I am because I am me. Every one is unique. I am the only one like me in this world. Their may be people like me but I am the only me, so I am unique.

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.

I'm glad someone else feels this way.  It just seems so wrong to pray to anyone but God.  It says in the bible, you should address anyone, but God in your prayers.

Yes of course. You should think whatever feels best to you. I do believe God is happy that everyone is worshiping Him no matter which religion they choose. I personally like to take a little taste from everything available at the religion buffet.

I could actually write a book on this topic! When you believe in God, and pray to him for guidance, he has ways of letting you know what your destiny is. Many, many times I have prayed to God and asked him to show me the way, and he has never let me down. This guidance may come in the form of a feeling I get, through something I read, through timely advice from a friend, and various other ways. A none-believer may call it coincidence, but I know without a doubt the Lord was guiding me. Sometimes God calls me to do something I don't want to do (examples are teaching a class when I am an introvert who dreads public speaking, and giving up persuing a career to raise foster children). I have found that when I ignore God and go after my own desires, I'm not nearly as happy as I am when I submit to his will. He has designed us for a purpose, and he knows better than we do what will bring us true joy. \n\nAs a side note, science shows we have a specific part of the brain that is only activated during prayer. Some scientists say this is why we believe in God - because this part of our brain is tricking us. Others argue there must be a God who created this special section of our brain especially for communicating with him. \n\nIf you doubt the existance of God, put aside that doubt for just a moment and use that special part of your brain. Give him the benefit of the doubt and pray to him to reveal himself to you. Try it just as an experiment, but ask whole-heartedly. Then open your heart and mind and see what happens.

All of these people were just regular people like you and I. What made them special is that they knew God personally and they showed the world how to reach her. There are a thousand different types of people, which is why it was necessary for God to express himself through all of these people, so people would have the choice (free will) which path suited them best to find God.

I completely agree with you.  I have asked myself numerous times, " Am I doing this for God?"  Especially when I am doing something good for someone or whatever.  I want to be sure that I am doing it for God and not doing it for the purpose of being recognized.  It is way too easy to cross that line and say that you are doing it for God, but if you are already anticipating the attention or if you find that you relish the attention then you need to step back and evaluate things.
