My God and I have a very close relationship. We talk on and off all day every day. I have a physical handicap and a lot of walking is a problem for me. I depend of Him for everything even parking spaces. I try to only ask Him when I’m doing His stuff or when I really don’t feel good. I’m so amazed when a spot opens up and this doesn’t happen sometime…it happens all the time. Now you may say that’s ridiculous to ask God for a parking space when there are so many other pressing things to pray about. I tell you my Father God is concerned about everything about me.
I pray in my prayer closet….but I pray or just talk to God casually too. HE is my very best friend. I talk to Him about all my personal stuff. He is in all my business!! I want Him there….I need Him there! I don’t consider God my buddy. I never see Him like that. There is a difference in how I look upon Him. I see Him as my Triune God Almighty, Holy God. He is ruler and has authority over everything. I see Him as pure love that covers me and makes me feel safe and secure.
I FEAR Him….I respect Him and most of all I worship Him. I have a very personal relationship with all three of His separate entities within Him…but I know He is my ONE God. Jesus reveals my God to me. Jesus has done so much so that I could be a friend of God and not only His friend but His child. The Holy Spirit has kept me on track in keeping me clean inside through Jesus so I can approach my Father and He keeps my open back and forth communication with God going. God is Holy so I need to keep striving for that so I can come boldly into His throne room.
The Holy Spirit guides me into truth which I need to constantly talk with my God. And when I’m upset or need His help supernaturally…the Holy Spirit is right there to comfort me….always. God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit…I have unique relations with them as they interact with me…but the big picture is God. When I pray I mostly talk to God and address Him as God. But in my heart I know that I’m dealing with all three. I told God that it’s confusing sometimes when I first started praying after becoming a committed Christian in 1984, so to make it easier for me that I would address Him as God when I pray even though I know there is 3 of Him in one. I always ask everything in Jesus Name because that’s what the bible says to do. I call out to Jesus when I pray also. I ask the Holy Spirit to help me as He is the one who guides and instructs me.
So to summarize my thoughts…My God is the God of parking spaces and so much more to me. I feel comfortable with Him and include Him in my daily things. I talk out loud to him (with no one around of course) and I talk to Him in my mind. God can read minds! So it doesn’t matter how you talk to Him just talk. He set up this relationship with us for 24/7 contact. You know you can go on Facebook all day and night and chat with someone. Well you can do that with God too….but you don’t have to type…just think your thoughts…how cool is that?
Please try to get in touch with Him now…so that when you do get in a bind He’s right there for you. If you have a dirty heart…unrepented sin in your life….well you have a problem. God is Holy and HE cannot look upon ungodliness so your answered prayer or needed help…just ain’t gonna happen. But thanks to Jesus Christ and your sincere repentance…you can reestablish you connection with God and get the help you need from our Father. Now He may not do the parking space thing for you or He may that’s up to Him…but I KNOW He will be there when you need Him!! Pray in His will and know what the bible says so you will know what His will is. Happy Parking!

People may say that’s riddiculous to ask God to help you find a parking place. Even if He doesn’t help you find a parking place you will have at least honored Him by bringing your requests to Him. Read Romans 8:15. We as believers have been given the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, “Abba, Father”. People ask their angels for parking places; so why can’t we ask God to help us? I want to make God an everyday part of my life. It’s all about Him anyway. He gets the glory in the big things and in the small things from parking spaces to completing big tasks to leading souls to Christ. God bless you and happy new year.

YES!! God should be part of our everyday life, even if we sometimes wonder why He’d want to be. Parking spaces, after all, aren’t a big deal to Him, but He knows when they are to us!

AMEN. AMEN. This is how my relationship with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is too! Yes He is interested in ALL aspects of our life. I can remember when I was needful of a set of drawers to put my clothes in. I had in my mind exactly what I was looking for but unable to describe it to my husband (unsaved). One day we were offered a set of drawers FREE as we went to pick up a bed base for us. The man told me that if I was interested that I could also take a set of drawers. When I arrived to collect the bed base, behold, the drawers he offered WERE JUST AS I HAD IMAGINED, right colour wood and SIX drawers. Yes our God provides our NEEDS too.
God is awesome and holy and faithful in every way. What a blessing and a privelage it is to have been adopted into His wonderful family and to fear Him, love Him, obey Him, trust Him and serve Him. Praise God for His mercy and grace towards us who know Him. If God is for us, then who can be against us? Hallelujah!
In the love of Christ. Your sister June – England

God truly wants us to be thankful in everything both great and small. I appreciate this article, as it tells me that I am not the only one, that it may seem to crazy for Christ. He said we must trust him with everything even parking space, which may seem not a big deal but it is when you have things to get done and your moving around by a shedule time frame, it makes life so much easier, thanks be to God for parking space!

I totally agree with you. God is always there for us even in the little things in life that are important to us. He is our loving Father who know what we need and want and supplies it to us.
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:25-33
Psalm 103:5
who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Psalm 145:16
You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.
He is so good!
