Why should I have a relationship with God?

Your relationship with God is one of the most unique and important things in your life. At a point in your life, you will go through a hard time. Sometimes it is to the point where you start to question everything and wonder why you are in the position that you are in. This is where your relationship with God comes into play.

Sometimes we question why things are happening this way or God himself? My family has taught me to never question God. The reason why I do not question him is because what usually is happening at that point in time is somehow preparing me for the future.

For example, sometimes you may question why people are acting differently when you thought they were your friends or for you in some positive way. As time goes on, you may realize the reason they were acting differently is because they were not your friends but instead trying to either use you or destroy you.

Another important example is when you are constantly having hardships thrown upon you. At the time, it can seem as too much to handle. After you manage to fight through it, you realize that something about you is different. You can see others possibly going through the same thing and be able to support them. You also may have a similar situation in the future and be able to handle it better than you did the time before.

When you have a personal relationship with God, God can help guide you through signals and spirit.

For instance, you will be able to make the right decisions more instead of doing what is wrong or may seem as right. As a Christian, I have to admit that wanting to do what is wrong seems like it will be the best thing for you but in reality, it does not help you but rather destroy you. Nothing great comes from doing wrong and if it does, it is temporary.

You will be able to influence others including yourself through prayer. Prayer is one of those things that helps any situation. Sometimes it may be delayed but it is always on time. We do not have control over everything but we have control over ourselves. Prayer helps strengthen you and lets God fight your battles for you.

Overall, having a personal relationship with God helps you grow as a person. Personally, having my relationship with God while I have been in college has helped me in numerous ways and continues to do so. I will also say that my relationship with God has grown tremendously since I have been here.

Your relationship with God is a unique thing to have and takes time, patience and a willingness to change.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
