Prayer for reaching family

Postby Mr. Rogers » Thu Jul 07, 2005 1:01 am

I would like prayer and/or advice on reaching my family.

I've been thinking lately about all the stuff for God I can already do right where I am. It seems like the family is a good place to start. It also seems to be one of the hardest. They see me better than anyone else does; including all the times I lose my temper, or don't do something quite as I should, or am not as loving as I should be, and all that stuff.

I need prayer that everything about me would reflect Christ, 'cause I know everything about me doesn't. And also, just for opportunities to love and reach out to them. I can be pretty hard on myself also, and sometimes think I've failed beyond hope, so also for that.

Thanks.

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

I'll pray. As you alluded to, it's a lot harder to witness to the people who also know your faults just as well as your positive traits, but persistence and love is the key. You can do all things through Christ! :)

Hey, it's good to hear that you're reaching out to your family. Oftentimes there are people that can witness to strangers, but they're deathly afraid of their family and close friends. I'll be praying for you, bro. Don't get too hard on yourself. I know you already must know, but it's God that does the saving. I have that problem too, when I want to change someone or want someone to get saved really badly, I tend to take the responsibility on myself. My prayer for you is that the fruits of God would be evident in your life and that you would be a light to your family.
