To be made right with God, seeking him.

[Fidelity]

My grandfather George points it out again and again and may God bless him for it... That we can't think for our selves, that we can't judge things. We don't know what is entirely right or pure, that we should pray. God comes before making a decision or taking any action. I always had done things believing I was doing good or something loving even selfless... I believed I was right before even asking Jehovah. My mind is sick, I use to pray five times a day and it has lessened. I use to praise and have a hymn on my lips ALL the time. Instead when the victory is already won, I'm worrying... My mother worries too. My grandfather says "stop turning your back on God, pray! Go pray!" We never really yielded to the words. We'd agree but, not pray still. Instead my mother and I, the weight and worries pile and pile. We do things our way believing its right and justified... We judge and call it good instead of looking things over with the word and praying about it. You can get answers from God. And I want to be more of a follower. I know I can't judge things rightly. No one can except God. I want to be a follower and listen to God and that's by going to the word and going to worship and listen and pray... Please pray for my family and I to get more on track with God. I want Jehovah to rule our life, to be the center, to be God. We aren't treating him like he is a God. We aren't following his word accordingly. We need a prayer for strength and freedom to always be open up to God. I know a lot of Christians need the same prayer. So perhaps we can pray for this today and whenever else.

You're so right my sister. All Christians need this prayer. None of us is perfect in anyway before God. Romans 3:23-24 states, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" As we walk this narrow way we have obstacles that challenge us, and force us to make a choice. Our sin nature, the world, and the devil work together to get us to disobey God and not give Him the place in our lives that we should. When we submit to the Holy Spirit He will always lead us the right way. May God bless you as you seek Him more. I am certainly in agreement with your prayer for you, myself and the rest of our brothers and sisters in Christ.

I love how you said that and thank you for praying it means a lot.
Those are some good passages and there are so many good things to remember...
We have been called to worship and, to witness and, to love. So hope none of us forget the good things promised and in-store. My grandfather says to read the bible at least once a day and always pray, to not forget the word... for its what keeps us strong and builds us. I really want negative things to stop being the center of my mother, brothers and my world and anyone elses. Its a awful thing to suffer and we don't need too. There's an awesome God above we should be adhering too and bigger things to get involved with instead of worrying and going our own way... It's good to find others looking to strengthen that way too. I also hear meditating or pondering the word helps even more to take anxiety away and to give it up to the lord. i wonder what other things we can do to submit and keep the joy the lord gives.

Your grandfather sounds like a very wise man.
