The Importance Of Your Relationship With God

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
