Chapter Thirteen: Worship That Pleases God

Question: Which is more pleasing to God right now--my public worship or my private worship? What will I do about this?

Answer: I would have to say He's not pleased with either, honestly. I do not worship God like I ought to be. If I had to choose one, I'd say He's happier with my private worship because the past few days I have attempted to talk with him and praise him throughout the day in conversation with him. (Don't worry, this is in my head, not out loud). I did attend church Sunday, and I was very happy to be there. I am hoping to go more often. I know I will go this Sunday due to me being at my parents. What can I do about God being displeased? I think that's obvious. Have more conversations with Him. Thank Him more than complain to Him. Attend church regularly, even if it means being tired on Sundays. I can do this if I truly want to. I just need to give up my selfishness.

Chapter Twelve: Developing Your Friendship With God

*Side note: I told myslef this morning that I was getting up for God. It totally worked. I didn't have a problem at all.

Question: What practical choices will I make today in order to grow closer to God?

Answer: I will talk with Him more throughout the day. I will thank Him for my blessings, and seek His counsel when needed. I will attempt to be a better teacher to my students, mother to my children, and wife to my husband. I will think before I speak. Would God appreciate what I am about to do? To say?

We'll see if it works.
