So this is going to be a long one so bare with me.
Recently I’ve been getting a ton of videos on my for you page about god, like enough to where I started paying attention. See i haven’t really had a relatinshoo
With god and uber this past week I’ve just been kind of feeling like I should. So I decided why not I decided to pray while talking a walk outside in the evening.
And I’ll be honest it wasn’t great.. I prayed fur those around me that needed help, those in my life who unfriendly such the needy you know, it felt right to do so and as i started going I realized more and more people that coul need it. It just made me feel calmer, see i haven’t a lot a lot anxiety about practically anything, and doing that just kinda soothed it in a way. I had also
Just recently gotten my bloodwiej
Fine to test fur insulin resistance, and u remember asking him to just let it go well.. abd u felt calmer about it, abd I got the results back and u was completely fine. You know i
Actually requested could you respond in like a sign match a thought the way people talk about.. was that it right there? I know I’m going off a little but I kinda felt this urge to come into this forum asking for help. See when I do pray it duesht feel right. Like I guess because I cannot see or hear him or have like a direct face to face conversation it felt wrong. I don’t like saying that I don’t mean In a bad way I just can’t shake it. I’m not really good at like emotional ally talking it’s hard for me to explain what u feel deep down instead. My life hasn’t exactly been super easy but that’s beside the point, it’s like u don’t know how to tell him. When I did try to at least u guess acknowledge my sins I didn’t feel any type I’d conviction.. like I know it was bad and.apologizing and moving forward is right but I just don’t feel convicted if anything. I’m not exactly sure how to describe it. I never really prayed before or thought about god mmuch at all, I guess until now and other times started seeing him on my feed. So does anyone have an idea of what any of this is and how I can change it…? I also wanted to ask because I believe there’s a chance u saw god in a dream.. This was a long time ago, but it just kinda resurfaced In my thoughts. I woke up early this one morning going 2 years back, and still being tired I fell back asleep and Onto a dream. I basically drove a car to this store and I was checking out when to randomly thought of some type of sin, then i reneged thinking what would god think? And I felt something right after I’ve never felt before. Suddenly there was this like burst of blinding white light, and with it an almost vibrating sensation, almost like I was under a jet engine without the noise of that’s makes sense. Then I saw a man in all white with I’m pretty sure dark hair and beard I think. Then I saw ( like actually saw to readable words appear in front of him: “Wake up.” And the dream was done. See this dream it was weird, when i woke up my eyes flew open, I was sitting there wide open like what just happened. I noticed though I remembered the dream vividly, even right now as typing this. It wasn’t like other dreams where even I woke up
My eyes slowly opened and I layer forgot about the dream. Can anyone explain this?

Waking up is a good thing. Perhaps you can start by being clearer in what you are saying?

Hi @jlutte7340. It appears that the Lord is knocking on your door. He has made you aware of his presence and wants a relationship with you. Your prayers are being heard even if you don't feel right about them.

This was a long time ago, but it just kinda resurfaced In my thoughts. I woke up early this one morning going 2 years back, and still being tired I fell back asleep and Onto a dream. I basically drove a car to this store and I was checking out when to randomly thought of some type of sin, then i reneged thinking what would god think? And I felt something right after I’ve never felt before. Suddenly there was this like burst of blinding white light, and with it an almost vibrating sensation, almost like I was under a jet engine without the noise of that’s makes sense. Then I saw a man in all white with I’m pretty sure dark hair and beard I think. Then I saw ( like actually saw to readable words appear in front of him: “Wake up.” And the dream was done.

In your dream you were driving to a store, which can indicate the direction you are going in. Then you thought of a sin. Perhaps it is related to the type of store you entered. Whatever it may have represented, it seems that the Lord intervened and got you to wake out of it. Possibly due to where this dream may have taken you.
