Between God and Me

Get brutally honest with God with the questions below. These questions are great to respond to in a journal. Or use them as a way to get you focused during a time of prayer and reflection. See how what you are going through is really no different than what happened during Jesus' times.


Dear God
If I ever forget how good you've been to me, will you remind me?
—Me

 

Think about the last time you said, "Mom, you never let me do anything I want." She probably reminded you of a bunch of stuff. When you start thinking God's let you down, that your life is pathetic, God (the Ultimate Parent) will put the memory of his blessings in front of you. You don't even have to wait for him. Start remembering right now!

 

More to get you thinking

Dear God,
Why can't I have what I want?
—Me

When you think how happy you would be if you just had that one new thing, try praying this way: Thank God for absolutely everything that you do have. Name each thing. Describe the wonderfulness of each treasure in detail, be it your dad's love or the very existence of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Discover the results for yourself.

Dear God,
I'm such a wimp.
—Me

The scariest thoughts often come when it's dark. That's the perfect time to talk to God about your fears, because they seem bigger. Whether you're afraid of spiders or a bad grade in math, describe it all to God in vivid detail. Ask for courage, but don't be surprised if just sharing it with God makes you feel braver.

Dear God,
Where are you?
—Me

It can be hard to sit and focus on God. So try going for a walk. Set out where you can be safe alone and imagine God matching your steps. Out loud or in your mind, point out things along the way that you like about his world. Ask him questions that pop up. Share your favorite spots. He'll be right at your side.
