conversation with God
Me: Hey
God: Hi. (short pause) I've been waiting for you.
Me: I know. I'm sorry. It's just that I've been struggling with alot of doubt lately.
God: I wish that you wouldn't be afraid to come to me when you are struggling. I love you. It's what I'm here for. Think of me as your own personal therapist. You don't have to schedule an appointment and you don't have to pay.
Me: Thanks, God. I know that but it's still hard. I still hesitate.
God: Tell me about your doubting.
Me: Well see... it's like this... I doubt that You're going to answer my prayers... I doubt that You even love me at times. I often think that You're just out to get me and that You want to punish me or discipline me or whatever. Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough for You, like I'm a failure. It makes me angry at You sometimes.
God: What does my word say?
Me: Your word? It says that if You are for me, who can be against me. (Romans 8:31) And it says that Your love for me is unconditional... it doesn't depend on what I do or don't do.
God: What else does it say?
Me: It says that I'm not a failure... that I'm more than a conqueror in Christ. (Romans 8:37)
God: What does my word say about doubting?
Me: It says to stop doubting and believe...(John 20:27) It also says those who doubt are like a wave of the sea... blown and tossed by the wind...and that those who doubt should not expect answered prayers. (James 1:6&7)
God: Why do you think that is?
Me: I'm not sure. Why would you not answer our prayers just because we have doubts?
God: Faith
Me: Faith?
God: Yes. I want you to have faith in me. Believe that I am good and that I love you and that I want the best for you. You know the verse, Jeremiah 29:11. My plans for you are not to harm you, but to prosper you, to give you hope and a future. When you have faith that I'm going to answer your prayers, according to my perfect will... it pleases me.
Me: Hebrew 11:6; without faith it is impossible to please You. I think I'm getting it.
God: Right. Exactly. When you don't have faith in me, it hurts me. I feel sad too.
Me: I'm sorry Lord. Please forgive me, for my lack of faith. Help me to trust You.
God: Why do you think you doubt so much?
Me: Probably because I'm afraid of getting my hopes up. I'm afraid You'll disappoint me or let me down. It's probably because I've had so many people in my life promise me something only to break their promises.
God: Do you think I will break my promises to you?
Me: No, God. I know Your word says that Your promises are true and eternal. You won't break them.
God: So believe that and trust me. Don't be afraid to get your hopes up with me. The world is mine and everything in it. I have the power to give you everything you need or desire. The thing is, as you already know, I want the very best for you. And there may be things in your life that you desperately crave... but I know that there is something even better for you than that. If you will only trust me and not doubt, I will give you things you never dreamed of. And you won't be settling for less. But you have to be willing to put your own will aside.
Me: I know God. Thank You... I do trust You, help me to trust You more.
God: I will, and I am. Now go to sleep and get your rest. I'll keep you in my arms until the morning, when you wake.
lol, looking through some of the comments on this page, some people don't get it... I'm realy glad you wrote down this actual conversation. I know exactly where you're coming from and God tells me the same things. I love our Lord and He loves us. Thanks for posting this... helps a brother not to feel lonely :). I'll leave you with Romans 8:38,39 "For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, not height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to seperate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord"
