Christian Living
Sometimes in my life it feels like God is far away and like he isn't listening to my prayers. In reality, it is me that is far away from God. But God still looks down and watches me. He waits until I am ready for him and I want him again before he comes back. We really are supposed to seek after him like we would seek after treasure. When it comes to God listening to my prayers, he always does, even if it feels like he isn't. I always thought I knew exactly what I needed and exactly what I wanted and even what time I needed to get it; however, I was very wrong. I soon realized that my timing means nothing. When I decided to let go of my timing and to follow God's timing, my prayers seemed to be answered more quickly. I did still have my own plans in life, but when I gave myself to God, he determined my steps and opened doors in my life that were closed before. Sometimes God chooses to wait until you have nothing else but him before he blesses you. He took everything away from me so that I would have nothing but him. Then, when I finally listened, he blessed me. When I gave myself to God, he gave me my health, my mind, and he improved my relationships with my girlfriend, family, and friends. God showed me that he is the only thing that I really need.
