So i know you've been that type of guy who takes prayer very seriously which is good you should take it as a top priority.
But don't make it robotic because then that's where they become fake.
The bible says "Come as you are" when you pray to god pray to him how you would in any relationship but also thank him because he does a lot for you.
You can forget to pray you but he didn't forget to wake you up.
He's still letting you breath.
In Christianity the meaning of life is to simply get into a relationship with the Creator.
You can breath, you can speak,blink and even those small things he's still letting you have them.
He can expose your deepest secrets.
So why make it robotic to pray.
Just give him your heart that's all he wants.
And you'll suddenly notice your identity will be changing.
HOW MUCH GOD LOVES US.
You always hear Jesus loves,God loves you.
But how much?
Well let's start off with the fact he never knew sin,he had never sinned but he had to bear the sins of every human being that has existed, and any human being existing and any human that will exist.
Secondly in Psalms 139 it explains that your fearfully made in God's image and no that doesn't mean he was scared.
Fear back then actually had different meanings and in this verse it means wonder and amazement so God was more amazed when he made you because it took God 6 days to create the heavens and the earth but for you? He took months.
Then thirdly in Zechariah it says God sings over us so while you're probably praying God is doing a hymn for you.
God offers you eternal life and never ending joy.
As humans we deserve to be all damned to hell but then Jesus came and didn't want to.
So he went on that cross knowing your debts where paid.
Here's something more interesting the Greek word for "It is finished"
Is Telestai and mind you the New testament was written in Greek.
In military context it meant that an army had won a great victory.
That was also the same word Text collectors used when a debt had been paid in full.
What Tetelestai Actually Means
Layer Meaning
Literal "It has been completed" / "It is finished"
Legal : A debt has been paid in full
Commercial The final payment has been made
Religious: The work of redemption is done
This wasn't just a whimper of defeat.
It was a declaration of victory.
Jesus wasn't saying "I'm done" — He was saying:
"It is accomplished. The debt is paid. Salvation is secured. Nothing more needs to be done."
Every person you see is made im god's image. You might not know their secret life but what you can do is that God took he's time with them.
Just because someone doesn't match your standard of beauty doesn't mean they're ugly that's just your opinion and keep it to yourself.
SINS YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHERE SINS.
To start off the word sin in your bible isn't actually what you think it is.
The Greek word was Hamartia and it means to miss and to fall short.
Romans 3:23 says, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
For instance let's say you have a sniper rifle and your aiming at your target.
But you miss.
You failed to do your mission and the rifle didn't do it's Job.
Now let's add that to sin.We were made to bear the image of God, Atheists don't read the bible however they read your personality so give them that reflection of God.
Now here's a list of sins you took lightly and never viewed them as sins.
Complaining
Numbers 11:1"And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp"
Philippians 2:14 "Do all things without murmurings and disputings"
There is a difference between complaining, confrontation and expression.
If you're constantly talking about something but your not doing anything to stop it.
Shut your mouth and stop the topic.
Dismiss it to whoever you were talking to.
Confrontation is when you talk something out with someone to end the problem of their bad service.
Expression is appealing to your emotions with confrontation, it's just being expressive and social but however never put gossiping in the line.
Secondly is Not taking care of your body
1 Corinthians 7:7
"Do you not know your bodies are temples of the Holy spirit?" And it also says "Honor God with your Body"
So if you haven't took a bath or shower in like 3 days please just have some sense of personal hygiene.
Sin is not just wrong doings it's missing and that is why we need repentance.
