We feel unworthy and that we have failed God. We live in fear. We have a nasty past.- Second birth: Born from the Holy Spirit into righteousness from our Father Jesus Christ. We do not have a nasty past. We are not afraid of man anymore. We have been set free.- There is nothing in the Bible that says when we pray we have to be talking.- We can just sit in His presence and enjoy Him. Silence is praise to God.- Our life is a prayer. God hears our prayers when we are silent.- Don’t look at your old self and feel you are far from God.- God does not walk away from you when you can’t do something for Him God is holding on to us.
