"Day Eleven: " Becoming Best Friends with God"

Key Points:
God wants to be your best friend
You become best friends with God through constant conversation and through continual meditation.
Friendship with God is build by sharing all your life experiences
Everything you do can be spending time with God if he is invited to be part of it and you stay aware of his presence
It's not changing what you do but changing you attitude toward what you do. What you normally do for yourself you begin to do for god.
Worship is not an event to attend but a perpetual attitude
You must train your brain to remember God
The more you meditate on God's word, the less you will have to worry about

Verse: " Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence him" Psalm 25:14a

I'm finding it a bit ironic that constant communication with God is what this chapter is about because I am just blogging about that a few days ago. I find myself praying more than just and night and reciting bible verses over in head when I get stressed. I suppose that is why they always told us it was important to memorize verses. I am exited about the opportunity Athens Church is giving me next few weeks to begin a class called Starting Point, so that I can begin to read the bible. I was telling Payton, I have always known who God was and that Jesus died on the cross to save my sins but I have never known what it means to have a personal daily relationship with God. It's amazing how much it can transform you in just 11 days. I'm praying that this is only the beginning. My mind is heavy and I'm hoping God can help me clear my head and trust in him.
