How do you talk with God?

[hupo]

People have different ways of talking with God. I thought it would be interesting to find out what ways people use.

Good times for me are while working in the garden or driving alone on a long trip.

Hiking makes for a good heavenly chat too.

But the best is when I ride my mountain bike up the hill to Zfat.

God really clears up things for me then.

This morning for example,He showed me the positive side to tribulations.

Going uphill is a kind of physical "tribulation". While riding, there are many times I wish I could be in a nice warm bath instead

The end of the ride is a wonderfull view of God's creation, and a booster-prize, going home downhill all the way with the wind in your face.

So tribulation is there for a reason.

I also have an email address called "aba@......." where I write emails to God. It's fun. Try it

[Joshua-777]

I have a few different ways I pray, Like, alone, I'll pray in words on my knees, or pray playing the guitar, sometimes sing my prayers.

At work, I pray and give God my wispered prayers, and try to keep my mind focused all day on him, I will also go on long hikes praying to the Lord

I'll type prayers in the chat room, or in an email to a friend.

I don't always do this but something compelled me to look "behind the scenes".... you have one amazing testimony.

Why don't you put it out there as a testimony post? It could be such an encouragement to others who are struggling in life.

God has really taken you under His wings, hasn't He?

God is good, all the time

God bless you both

I love going out for walks and praying. Being outside always makes me think about God.

I also love being in a church with stained glass windows to pray...I don't know why, but I guess just the ambiance always moves me to prayer. Not to mention the windows always tell a Biblical story, so I'm often moved to meditate on that story.

Actualy I have when I first started, It's been burried over the few months I've been here, and thanks and yes God has really opened my eyes to know his grace. Without him I'd probibly be dead by now. I was dead in my transgressions, he brought me to life

I've never prayed in a church with stained glass windows, I have prayed on the alter of my old church many times though. Thats awesome

Come to think of it, Messianic Jews don't seem to go for regular churches.

We have a fellowship (rather than church) in an arab village near us and the only stained glass we have is if we don't wash the windows .

From what I've seen of churches it must be quite awesome, praying there.

Having said that, it seems people get closer to God when they are outside.

Thanks for your response

I talk to God while driving, we have wonderful conversations. I tell him my hopes and fears, and everything that happened during the day. I think him for the good things and ask for his help in everything. He's my friend.

Philipians 4:4-6

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

This is such a great post, hupo. My prayers are off the cuff; I talk to God wherever I happen to be when I feel the need to talk to Him. I believe that we can talk to him about anything, at any time. In fact, I probably talk more than I pray. I try not to bother Him with trivia though; if I can't find my cell phone it's not His problem! I just may try the e-mail to God thing; we know that He sees and knows all.
