Hi all...I have it heavy on my heart to just shut the computer down , turn away from everything and spend time alone with God ...
How do we give Him all our time ...I know we we have to do our chores etc , but between this I have a craving to spend time with our LORD , but I am not that knowledgeable in the word and feel I need outside guidance...I am reading through the OT at the moment and have just finished Proverbs , understood a little but not a lot , I think if I shut everything down and just trust in God to teach me than I can not fail , but the truth of the matter is , is this wise...
In my head I just want to God , His leading and Him showing me the way , but I am afraid that I do not understand all I read , I am afraid of reading on my own , is this normal...Has anyone been through this and if so , did it benefit you...I want to use self control , this is what God has given us , I want to wake up in the morning , make my coffee , and spend time with God...I feel I am lacking something , I feel as if I am spending little time in the word and more time in CC or FB then what I should be given to God , is it because I am young in the word , I feel as if I am learning more about the word in CC than the actual word of the bible and that is not good......
Is it healthy to just shut off and be in the word alone...I am looking for guidance from anyone who has been in this situation...I feel as if I am putting CC and FB before God ...In other words , has any of you just blocked off from everything and spent time in the word , Ii feel so lonely sometimes , my pastor and his wife have gone to America on Gods calling for 6 months , I have found a new church and hopefully will attend this week , I love CC , I am so thankful to God that I found this site , but I know I have to come away for a while but I am scared because at home here I am on my own...Have you ever just closed off everything and spent time with God , only God...Would love a reply and thank you...xox...
