That is where I began thinking about what my relationship in God should look like. There are so many questions: What if I don't get anything from reading the Bible? Why is prayer so frustrating at times? How do I "be" with God? I found myself searching for answers, and am blessed to have a strong family who helped me understand some of this. I knew that I had to place my roots before I could grow. After all, if I can't hear God, how do I see the opportunities? This book is about building your relationship with God so that once you have the foundation, you can than find your purpose. But you can't build the house without the foundation first! If you want to know the common frustrations of faith, how to work through the hard times, and the good and bad practices that are commonly seen…this is the book. When dealing with an almighty God who is invisible and can often feel distant, we forget the human aspect. The frustration, the anger, the disappointment, is very real and yet not talked about too often.This book is designed to help build your foundation with God on realistic terms. Simple and down to earth its ten steps to consider and help your perspective of what your relationship with God looks like. When you hit those moments of anger, hurt, or frustration what to do, what is happening and how to work through it. In addition, if you like a particular area there are multiple sources referenced to help you dig deeper and break through any barriers you may have. It is such a simple concept, and God modeled our relationship with Him through Jesus in an easy way for us to grasp. Over the years, it has become convoluted with checklists and expectations that we built for ourselves. We have had it drilled in to us from a young age to be told what we have to do, that when we actually get to decide for ourselves, we're stuck. We're stuck on how to be alone and comfortable in silence. We're stuck on how to listen and not just have a to-do list. We're stuck that we can't have a plan and have to "trust" someone else to have control. Our culture strips what God designed into a weekly checklist that yields religion, not faith. I hope that this books helps you build your own relationship with God. That it will bring back the trust and faith he designed in us and change how you worship, pray, and view Him. With a new foundation your relationship will be transformed into a living one that will bring the peace and joy God designed it to.
