What questions do you have for god? 


Abide in me


John 15: 7-8- 

7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.


How many of you ask your parents for stuff and they give you whatever you want? 


Why do they? 


Why don’t they? 


What would they get you if you asked for it? 


Deut 4:29

29 But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.


Have you ever heard where was God? 


This verse says if you seek him with all your heart and all your soul. Maybe we need to seek him with everything we have instead of just when we need him? 


God wants you to long for him. All your heart and all your soul. 


Spending time with God is about asking him things you wonder about. Ask him about school, family, your future. It is really whatever you want or even desire or just thoughts. 


Jeremiah 33:3

3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’


Pray in line with the spirit and truth.


When you align your life with god, you can ask him for the desires of your heart.


Colossians 4:2.

2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.


How many of us truly devote ourselves to prayer? 


What would that look like? 



1 Thessalonians 5:17

Pray continually or pray without ceasing


God wants to hear from you. God wants a relationship with you. Spend time talking to God.


Why is talking to God important?


Ok, what can you do to start this conversation or relationship with God?


 I have three things.


1. create a daily rhythm with God. You get to choose this. There is no right or wrong way to make time with God.



2. Practice a weekly Sabbath.


Why is this important?



3. Plan an annual retreat.


What can you do for this?


Psalm 46:10 says

10 “Be still, and know that I am God.

    I will be exalted among the nations,

    I will be exalted in the earth!”


Rest in God. 


God loves you. 


God wants to spend time with you. 


Create daily habits to talk with God and spend time with God

Saluki downtime Nov 11, 2024 What are things that are out of your control? What is something that has negatively impacted your life outside of your control? Positively We will talk about Job. I want to talk about one of the most patient guys in the bible. I want to talk about one of the most God-honoring men of the bible. I want to talk about a guy who handled himself well while God allowed Satan himself to destroy his life. The Book of Job in the Bible is about a wealthy and pious man named Job who endures unimaginable suffering and loss:   Job's life Job is a wealthy man in the land of Uz with a large family and many flocks. He is known for being blameless, upright, and careful to avoid evil.   Satan's challenge Satan challenges God in heaven, arguing that Job is only good because of God's blessings. God allows Satan to test Job by inflicting suffering on him, including the deaths of his children, livestock, and servants and the development of skin sores. In the Bible, Jo...

How long does it take to become a professional athlete? the 10,000-hour rule. idea that suggests it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert in a field: Saul to Paul - Short version - He addressed a Jewish crowd during his arrest in Jerusalem ( Acts 22:1-21 ). Then again, before King Agrippa in Acts 26:9-20 . Saul was born in Tarsus but spent his formative years in Jerusalem, where he studied under the esteemed teacher Gamaliel. He was known for his intelligence, but despite his strong belief in God, he persecuted the followers of Jesus, viewing them as a threat to his faith. Saul actively sought to arrest these disciples, instilling fear in their hearts. For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my...
