Prayer for the glory to god plz

Please pray that no matter how much i mess up or how far i walk away from his side that i still always look to him and give him the glory and honor he deserves. Believe me i would love nothing more than to help others right now but i have to help myself before i can help others. And honestly if i could go to sleep everynight fully sastified with the day because i just know i brought god glory and honor no day would be a waste to me. I do not like to read the bible i admit it, i love to read this other book i have called gods promises to everyday life and is filled with nothing but scriptures for any situation. I do not feel it is the same thing though and perhaps the guilt is why i am asking for this prayer. I do not understand why reading the bible seems like something i do not look forward to reading, i can only understand that i do not understand the bible but with every scripture in my other book it just clicks.But above all i want to bring him glory and honor everyday no matter how far i fall so prayers would be very helpful as i know the power of prayer

Dear god, i just pray for your brother in christ and i pray that how much he messes up that you still love him god, and whenever he gets off couse with you that you put him right on the path of rightous, i pray that since he doesn't like the bible, remind him that the bible is god word and try to get him interested in it god, i just pray that you give him strength for whenever he gets off course and just give him faith In your name amen

God bless you and hang in there and Merry Christmas

Blain, sometimes you just have to hang on in faith knowing that God knows better than you do. Rest and let Him do it for a while; it's His work in you, not your job for Him. Sonny and I pray for you all the time. He visited yesterday and asked about you.

Dear Blaine, your responders in my oppinion have it all right. Just as important is who has your back."Jesus Christ" now my concern is when you say you don't like to read the Bible. Although it sounds like your alternative book is very helpful to you & yes others have gained both spiritual wealth & knowledge fromonly as picture in or a few Scriptures ( I fell that) you are not in such an extream situation. After praying about encourageing words for you, I would like to digest to keep reading respectfully your Scripture book.... but also season with alot of prayer & listening. Then give a few minuets or more each day to read an easy study Bible. Brouse a Christian bookstore, there will be helpful people there who can help you pick out a helpful Bible with you.Above all pray, pray, pray. Understand that if you hold guilt or feel you don't measure up to whom you think a good Christian should be, then know this " When God forgives us, he forgives us forever, our God then never looks back at our sins.you are free in christ to learn in his own way & time. The point that you have taken the time to post a prayer concern about your Bible reading, says you already know a change should be made. I think you'll be fine. Pray, read & maybe join a Bible study with a group of people ...take care our brother. Many will pray for you from this post. Yet it only takes two to ask ... when you pray know I am also praying ad well...love a sister

Praying for you blain in Jesus Christ is Lord.

Blain, scripture says, faith cometh by hearing(reading) the word, and understanding cometh by faith.
When I was moved to read the bible beginning to end, I was unsure about so much, as understanding in reading is difficult for me.
But in obedience I did and read the bible compleatly.
Ive started again, and look forward to what will be revieled.
Because the first time read, was about gaining faith through the word, this time is about understanding.
You will be amazed and wonder why you had not done this sooner.
Just remember, the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, so the hesitation is all about trying to discourage, but Jesus is all about courage, so look to Jesus and you will always overcome in Him.

God bless

Hey Blain...can I say bro that He holds you...you do not hold him. He called you..He saved you...He is more than able to keep you...sometimes we forget that...actually a lot of times!! One thing we fall into is comparing our knowledge of scripture with other people's...dont do it! We are all gifted differently...some are naturally word people other are picture people, like you were sharing about dreams earlier. Lie the brother above said..REST...do not fret , it only causes harm..ie..depression! ahhaha. Remember this:God is not pressuring you to do anything for Him. Nothing!! When we cease our striving and fussing..things flow. You just need to know He loves you and lives in you...NOT so you can save the world...but so you can be YOU. The New You. But I realise that takes a long time to discover..so in the meantime let go, stop pressuring yourself.
Grace to you my friend.
Dennis

Baby steps, sweetheart. ♥

Precept on precept, and we have to get the beginning things before we get the rest.

And, speaking of rest...go ahead and do it!
Dennis is spot on...the One Who saved you is the One Who keeps you.

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy,

to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. (Jude 1:24-25)

He's got you, Blain. He always will. ♥

Good news, that you are here posting this asking to be lifted up in prayer shows that you are on the right track Blain! And I have such a hard time reading the bible also and I think a lot of us have this issue because the devil doesn't want us to read it. So what you have to do is recognize that feeling is him and then pray and ask the Lord to bind the devil from distracting you when you read the bible and then ask him to please bring the words to life for you and to help you to love reading his word. To please catch your heart on fire for his word. I honestly am glad you brought this up because I have been annoyed with myself that I run so easily from reading the bible and its been on my heart also. I swear I have been reading through the book of Isaiah and every single time I tried to sit down my mind was full of confusion and I would get antsy and couldn't sit still. It was so ridiculous that I knew something was up and that the devil didn't want me to read that book. It made me all the more determined to read it which I did. Now I feel like I need to make myself reread it because of how hard the devil tried to get me to not read it. I keep thinking what did I miss. I get this visual of the devil throwing crap in my way the closer I get to the Lord and if he is trying this hard to keep me away that is all the more reason to push on through because something amazing is waiting and that is my Lord

Your situation is the norm in the church system today, I was disturbed by what you said about messing up, which I hope doesnt mean wilful rebellion which leads to death.

I will not sugur coat the message, you are dead to the word of God, because you need to do this:

Jas 1:21 Therefore putting aside all filthiness and overflowing of evil, receive in meekness the implanted Word, which is able to save your souls.
Jas 1:22 But become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Only the thirsty will come, only the poor in spirit, and those who humble themselves, through repentance will see and receive the implanted word of God!
There must be a hunger and thirst for the word or you will dry up! The waters of life are freely given, that brings on new life and hope to a lost soul, who will take that step to drink it in with much passion and desire.
But there must be a willingness and strong desire to drink it in, and know the words of life come from the giver of life, who gave it all to redeem mankind from the corrupting influence of sin and the evil ways of the world.
Many today are dead to the word of God, thanks to all the liberal false teachings that leave the professed in bondage to their flesh, seeking answers that are not there unless they hunger and thirst to do what is right, and come to the living waters that can save their soul!
The problem is that they see no need to thirst for the living waters; they see no purpose in digging deep in the word as commanded to test the waters and make sure they are pure and bring life.
They settle for the polluted water that can only bring a slow death, as they draw away from truth, trusting in lying words, and empty promise’s the Lord never made.
They take the living water, filter it through man’s opinion, then come to the conclusion they are depraved sinners, bound to live a lukewarm life in total ignorance to the real living waters that can drown out their flesh, and lead them into eternal life.
So, until the church wakes up and preaches the truth, where free will and ability is preached over original sin and depravity, then repentance where the vile sins and rebellion toward God stops, followed by a living, dynamic faith in love, now based on a conditional salvation, where the convert must stay on the narrow road, guard the heart from all defilement, and remain thirsty for the implanted word, that can save the soul.
Rev 21:6 And He said to me, it is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsts I will give of the fountain of the Water of Life freely.
It’s difficult to thirst for something when you believe it’s been done for you in advanced, you do nothing but trust it has been done, thus leaving you filled and content, but still double minded, and carnal in mind!
Seek the living waters of truth before it’s too late, you will be glad you did, and God will reward you with much living water as you seek Him with all your heart and soul, testing all spirits, and exposing the evil and false ways of the apostate system!

LOL no i am not dead to his word, i read scripture at least once a day and i have many of his scriptures written on the tablet of my heart. And also i think i am doing okay in my faith, i just don't know how to handle the times of trials yet very well. sometimes i can handle them pretty good because i know god is burning more of me and putting in more of him. other times i just freak out a bit lol. But no matter the situation i always seek after jesus and always go to him for help, and one day i am going to help others do this too because i love to help people

Hey Blain! I have added you to my prayer list! Actively praying for you over here!

Praying for you to get set on fire for Jesus!
May you gain spiritual understanding!
In Jesus Name, Amen

God Bless you and keep you!
May he shine brightly in your life!
Love in Christ, Shekaniah

Thanlk you everyone for your prayers, i have ignored god and just done what i wanted the past few days and now I crave to be close to god again. This happens everynow and then but i am sure tomorrow things will be great

That's not ignoring God. It's listening to your body's needs. Who designed that body? The trick is to get His balance of using all the things God gave you to work with.

Agreed.

I imagine we'd burn out pretty quickly if we never took "chill time".

And, Blain, I think Ken prolly has quite a bit of experience in this.
It really is okay to just relax. ♥
