It sounds like you are really pouring out your heart to God. That is encouraging to me, because when I lead worship, I have to remember that it is my lifestyle of worship and vulnerability to God every day that is going to be reflected on stage.

It's great we can rest in the sovereignty of God and not stress about even things that are important and difficult. Thanks for sharing that.

You had a nice experience. :)

This will sound smug - it is not - in reference to your story and question -
I am close enough to God that I never worry about one solitary thing, ever.
And do not believe in that word, nor "unbelievable"; those words are like fingernails on a chalkboard
to a renewed mind - I wish they didn't exist in human minds, let alone -spoken or written.

Cast your cares
Give him your burdens
Do not worry
You may ask for anything in my name
Before they call I will answer
He keeps him in perfect peace that stays his mind on me ....

Worry?

God and I are like "this".


Delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.


:)

I would like to think that I am very close to God...but I know I'm not as close as I should be. I feel like everyone could work on that, though, really. :) (No offense intended towards anyone, of course; but none of us are Jesus. We're all sinners, and we aren't perfect. ^^) Also, while I'm glad that you're able you get rid of the worry, I do think that there should be concern for the salvation of all people. Not actively worrying about it or anything, but definitely a spiritual want for everyone to be God's children, and a want to strive to lead everyone possible to Christ. :)

How close is my relationship with God?

Not as close as I'd like, but apparently it's right on the money as far as God is concerned.

I confess that there have been times when I wrestled with Him, and like Jacob I lost. Even have scars on my flesh to prove it.

The hardest thing about my experience with God is attempting to get fools to believe in the simple message of God's intent to reconcile differences with men, to live in their lives and to bless them here and now as well as later on.

It didn't seem to be so hard years ago. Way back in the beginning I even accompanied a group to witness at biker bars. Turned out to be a good experience. They had their heads screwed firmly on their shoulders and they knew they were sinners. It's easier to explain things when a man knows where he is in the scheme of things.

Today, not so much.

Either there is an explosion of spiritual arrogance in the world or there are a lot more fools around than there used to be. Maybe both, I don't know.
It seems that the inmates run the asylum these days.

There are times when I ahve been very close to God, I eman 11 out of 10 and at other times it feels like he is so far away but I never give up on him, even when my life is a mess and it feels like I am cursed. In fact I think Aspen made a good point when he said that sometimes God is closer than we think. A good example of this is the story of the man who walked through the desert and soemtiems there were two sets of footprints and at other times, wehn things were hard there was only on set. when the man got to the end of the desert he asked Jesus why this was and Jesus told him that it was in the hard times that Jesus was carrying him/
