So I was talking to God the other day about how I wished that my dad would initiate and spend time with me (not that I haven't initiated before). It was an all time low, because over the past few months I've tried to get him to do stuff with me, and we did stuff, but ever since hs I've wanted him to ask me to do stuff (in other words I wanted to feel loved). Anyways, I had just yelled at him because I hadn't listened to me about something, and now I was upset. So I was talking to God and I didn't get the answer that I wanted (besides it was more like complaining). God said something like, see, now you know how I feel when you don't listen to me and you don't initiate time with me! That's kind of funny, because Pastor Scott preached a sermon about not just prayer, but more specifically on prayer with others. That's another thing that God's been talking to me about. So Jeff S. (heife) and I got together and prayed that night.
I will tell you. The times when I have prayed with others regularly were the most awesome and fulfilled times of my life! And when I went from times of prayer with others to just prayer by myself, things just stunk!
