Sin is in our life, and because of sin we can't be close to God. Jesus came to earth to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. When Jesus died on the cross he took away the sins of the world. All we have to do is accept Jesus to be our Lord and savior. When we do that we then have a relationship with God! We can pray through Jesus straight to God. We will also grow closer to him the more we talk to him. If you obey listen and talk to God you will be close to him. The first step is to accept Jesus and publicly be baptized in His name.

Does God care if we convert?
God cares that we are coming closer to him, so if our conversion brings us closer to God, then yes, he cares. Finding God is a journey, and the only way that we can really know where he wants us to be is by praying about it and asking him to guide us. He will... we just have to listen when he does.

Is closer to love a christian song?
I think that "Closer to Love" is a Christian song. The chorus, especially, strikes me as Christian. It speaks of how trials and tragedy bring us closer together and closer to Love--closer to God. Mat Kearney, the lyricist and vocalist of this song, is a Christian.
How does prayer help us grow spiritually?
It makes us feel better... that is it. It does not help in any other way because there is no God and even if there was he does not answer any prayers.AnswerPrayer is simply communicating with God and being closer to his presence as a result. Prayer is not just simply asking for things. It involves acknowleging God as Lord, praise, confession, praying for others, praying for ourselves, asking for guidance, and simply 'being' in the presence of God. And, of course, listening for God speaking to us through his Holy Spirit.Therefore prayer helps us draw closer to God by 2-way communication, and, as a result of growing nearer to him, we grow spiritually ourselves.
What prayer is used when praying for forgiveness?
I think getting closer to God addressing him through the OUR FATHER is a complete prayer passed over to us by His Son, Jesus. So this prayer is perfect, and needs no other paraphernalia or substitute.

Why pray if God is sovereign?
In my opinion, God wants to have a personal relationship with His children. Following Christ is not a religion, it is a relationship. When you are in a relationship with someone, the logical thing to do is to get to know them and when this happens you become closer to them. Eventually, a love begins to grow, right? So to answer your question, praying is only one way of getting to know God. Reading the Bible consistently is another way. Praying and reading the Bible are only two ways that God reveals himself to us. Yes, God is sovereign but never forget that He loves us and that He wants us to get to know Him through prayer and becoming steadfast in our walk with Him. Hope that answers your question Megan
How does praying to god help us develop characteristics of God?
It's actually the other way round. Developing Characteristics of GOD would help you in how and what you pray for. Just starting to pray without knowing who or what you're praying to is like walking in darkness.
