Bible Question: how does one get over the feeling of unworthiness when talking to god. i have a extemely low self-esteem and i feel unworthy when i pray or ask god for anything. i have just recently come back to god and i feel like a new born babe. i am still feeling very lonely alot of time. |
Bible Answer: Ifan1 When you trusted Christ as your saviour you were born into the family of God. Christ is our saviour who died to put our sins away forever and to free us from the guilt of sin. God who knows when the sparrow falls,how much more does he care for you and all those who are his children. A personal relationship with Christ is something which grows as we learn to rest our all upon him for every care in our life. "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." (1 Peter 3:8) I have found great comfort in the words of 1 John 1: 3-9 We know that when we were born again we realized that Christ died for our sins and that we would never again need to worry about being judged eternally since Christ bore the judgement for our sins on Calavary. However, as we walk heaven and home sin is still present in our daily life and clouds our relationship with Christ. The important thing to know is that he has not left us alone "If we confess our sins, he faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteouness" I find that there are times when I feel alone and God does not seem to care. I have found great inner peace by simply bowing before God and confessing my sin and resting on his word for forgiveness. Do not allow thoughts of despair or inadequacey to block out the fact that each one of us are unique and precious to God. We will never be anything in ourselves and yet we can be everything in Christ. It is not so much how strong I think my faith is, but rather to place simple faith in a great God. Talk to God daily and let him talk to you through his word. May God richly bless you in Christ Robert |
