Connecting With God

I think God would like to change me to focus my thoughts on Him instead of on myself. I have the habit of seeing my own weakness and feel guilty of failing to do what God has requested of me. In this way, I feel angry at the person that causes this situation. And it is hard for me to forget and let go.


After I learn to connect with God, I know that I will have the strength to love and to accept myself and others as who we are now. It is quite a relief to know that God loves me and will help me to fulfill the law of love instead of condemning me.

I also experience God’s help in dealing with the loneliness in a crowd. When I felt left out in a church lunch conversation today, I practice to connect with God. I sense the peace and love, not the void in the heart before. And I shared this experience in my fellowship prayer group. In this way, more people will be sensitive to my situation from now.

So, I will practice to connect with God and depend on God for the strength to live out the eternal kind of life. And I will share with people around me so they will know my struggle and support me in my change.

I experience God’s strength inside me as I stay in His love when in solitude this week. His Spirit and Love lifts me up and I was able to encourage my roommate who was in distress. And I shared in my discussion the real struggle I had with my physical weakness and emotional frustration. In this way, I face my problems and trust God for the strength to grow. God is faithful and He leads me to this class for me to walk closer to Him!
