I've a Christian friend who used to be a strong believer but lately he's been slipping away far and he is hating it, feeling so worthless and giving up, and he really really wants to find his way back, I must try to help him and I need you to help me to do that, we all have been there in a way or another, so please post or send me any link of any sermon or prayer that he could read and it could touches him, I'm sure we all read things like that that helped us in our walk with God.
And offcourse you can write something for him, like advices or prayers
An old German evangelist was once asked by a reporter "what is it like being a Christian"?
His answer- "It is like having two dogs inside of me, a black one and a white one- and they are always fighting".
The reporter then asked "which one wins" to which he replied "the one I feed".
So it always boils down to the same things. What are you spending your time with? What is the priority in your life?
Your friend needs to remember that Christianity is a living relationship between man and God. Like all relationships this grows when we invest the time and energy to make express our love and receive that love back. Like any relationship our hearts can grow cold if we spend our time perusing other things and neglecting what matters most.
I have seen people get so involved in life that when their kids are grown up and out of the house they discover they do not even know each other any more. How does this happen? Little by little things take the place of time spent and love expressed.
Tell your friend to get back to the basics:
Spend time in worship- at least one hour at a time pour out his heart to God- the Father will meet Him there.
Spend time in prayer- this praying without ceasing thing is really just maintaining an attitude of prayer and including God as the center of your whole day (and life).
Spend time in the Word- He must ask the Holy Spirit to speak to His heart. God will meet him where he is.
If he s willing to seek his God he will always find Him. If he values his walk and relationship with God he will begin to peruse Him again.
