Being able to rely on God is a really important benefit for all Christians. We know through the Bible and His revealings of prophecies that have already been verified with the Dead Sea Scrolls, we serve the only and true Living God. It's a fact that is not taken very seriously by many intellectuals and other religious leaders today. I think it's really important for a person to go on his or her own spiritual journey, instead of trying to always stay inside a box- we do not always have to take an expert's word for it. All men of God tell their godly brethren to read the Scriptures, themselves.
I think the best way to start a closer walk with God is start through prayer, open up the pages of the Bible, and fellowship with other believers. It's hard sometimes, but we all could sure use just a little more faith in God. Philippians 4:6 says, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." (NKJV). Life can get really stressful, and sometimes we just want to rely on our own wisdom to get things done. Walking in the Spirit of the Lord makes tasks feel so much lighter and less burdensome. We all just want to amazingly get things done. It's like our bodies were made to worship a being and be reliant on an ultimate source for our strength, growth, encouragement, and provisions. Want to know what else is good? Caring about others and we can just as well intercede for them through our prayers and concerns. I know that I've been touched by prayers through the Spirit, just feels like a mystery. Friends, God is the answer to our problems!
