i grew up in a family that was religious but drugs slowly pulled that union apart. i understand the power of prayer but i have trouble doing so. it's personal programming. my question to you all I how did you become me more consistent? sometimes when i pray i feel a deep down... I'm unworthy, and shouldn't take his time away from those who are, and it discourages me. to the point where I can't bring myself to start. i need a change of mindset. i need support in a spiritual manner. i used to find this support in religious institutions but i have distrust towards them as well. i believe.. i just have been having alot of issue really forming that connection still. but i believe. i have faith, and do what i must to keep going. i just have issues with a full turn, because i feel unworthy of such change inside of me. what can i do?

The moment we all ask God to be our one and only God and accept His invitation of Life Eternally with Him, and know thqt He sent His Son to die for us on the cross long before we were ever born is the moment His Holy Spirit cones to live in all our hearts. Amazing He is alive and living in all of our hearts that accept Him..at the same time. He is alive and well in your heart this second and mine at this same second. To me that is so amazing He is everywhere and hears us all at the same time. There is the scripture pray without ceasing. i think thats in 1Thessalonians maybe 5:18, But instead of thinking of prayer and maybe the mind thinking big..how about just talk to Him as you would your closest family member or best friend. Yes, He is the Holy One but He also is our Friend and Counselor. Thats what He wants to be. So just start talking to Him. Of course when no words come to my heart at times, I just say His name Jesus Jesus Jesus. But maybe for you just talking to Him..

...just talking about how the day is going or what happened yesterday that may have bothered you..anything thats on your heart say it outloud to Him. If starting to talk to Him as your friend your heart may begin to feel the worthyness you've had from your beginning. That's my relationship with Jesus and His Holy Spirit. I talk to Him throughout the day, but I am not acting or speaking as though He is beneath me. In my path I've learned from different people, Sunday mornings, ladys conferences He is our friend and He already knows what our hearts are feeling and thinking but just talking to Him outloud does wonders for our relationship with Him. I hope in this you feel well up inside the worthiness you've had, i pray through all of these comments His Holy Spirit start the turning within you and your heart that your conversations with Him be what you feel was missing, and that your talking and prayers with Him become intertwined into what He meant Pray without Ceasing..nothing fancy
