The time of testing is here now - but also I'm with you like never before for those who is turning to me and opening their heart to receive my healing and endless, unconditional love. DON'T BE AFRAID! UNITE IN GOD NOW!!!!! KEEP CALM AND STRENGTHEN YOUR IMAA! More then 10 ways to strengthen your relationship with God. It’s not easy to always have strong faith. In fact, we weren’t created to constantly feel that bond with our Creator. But that’s the challenge. That’s the test of this life. Here are some tips on how I help lessen the distance I sometimes feel between me & my beautiful God: 1. Know it’s simply a test It’s nothing more, don’t overthink it. We were put on this earth to be tested. The whole purpose of this life is to be put through trials & tribulations sent down from God to see how we’re going to react. Are you gonna give up & let the doubt define your relationship with God? Or are you gonna fight through it & prove your trust in the One that created you? And low faith isn’t necessarily a bad sign. If He gave up on you, He wouldn’t care to test you. And by feeling low on faith, that means you had strong faith at one point; you’re just in a moment of weakness. This is temporary. 2. Don’t tell yourself that you’ve lost 3. Open His book 4. Make a list of ways He has blessed you 5. Make a list of wrongs you have committed Now, make another list—but this time with things you aren’t proud of (I recommend making sure nobody sees this one…it should always stay between you & God). Write any sins you might’ve committed. You yelled at your mom. You haven’t prayed in days. You did something with the opposite sex. As uncomfortable as it is to openly tell yourself you’ve sinned, just think deep & put it in writing for your eyes to physically see. The reason you feel low on faith might just be because of one of the things you wrote down. Maybe you’re subconsciously beating yourself up because you know you did something that He doesn’t like. When you’re done, start repenting. Ask Him for His forgiveness with the truest intentions. He’s listening, & He is forgiving you as you’re asking of Him. 6. Pray at home specially now with this situation going on -Friday prayer 7. Understand that God loves you, unconditionally God is the one the made you. He created you, exactly as you are. Your existence itself is proof that He loves you, He took time to craft you. Think about how forgiving He is. As many times as you mess up, He’ll be there to forgive you the moment you ask for His forgiveness. That’s the definition of unconditional love. 8. Stay strong with your 5 prayers, & understand what you’re saying 9. Visualize heaven & eternity Imagine what it would be like to make it to paradise. How easy your life would be, and not for something temporary like this life. Something that will last forever…where you’re never gonna die. 11. Fast for a day 13. Sit at the masjid alone, & reflect on your purpose in this life Go in between the prayers when there’s nobody there. Just sit and think. Think about God’s greatness. How forgiving He is. How generous He is. Think about why you’re on this earth. Essentially, He put us here temporarily to test us & see if we’re worthy of making it to His eternal heaven. 14. Do good deeds. 15. Read His 99 names 16. Start a new chapter in your life, change your daily routine.Wake up tomorrow & tell yourself, “today is the beginning of a new chapter in my life,” then ask God to guide your new life to the path of His liking. 17. Forgive your past & those who’ve wronged you. Don’t let any ill-feelings sit in your chest. Let go of any wrongs you’ve done, once you’ve asked for forgiveness from Him—the matter is done, don’t let it even be a thought. If someone has wronged you, reconcile, and forgive them. It could be your friend, your co-worker, even your parent. Everyone makes mistakes, try to understand them, and let go of that resentment you hold for them. This a new chapter in your life, these are all new relationships. 20. The most important one—TalktoHim.I can’t stress this enough. Would you be an a relationship with someone you never talk to? No. So how do you expect to have a relationship with God when you never talk to Him? Yes, prayer is key, but your duaa’ is where your personal relationship with God lives. After prayer, just talk to Him. Tell Him what’s on your mind. Tell Him you’re frustrated at home. You’re unhappy with school. Give thanks for His blessings. Ask for forgiveness for your wrongs. Tell Him you’re sorry. Tell Him you’re working on being a better Muslim. Talk as if He’s standing right in front of you, essentially, He is. He’s always listening. Even out of prayer, when you feel frustrated anywhere—close your eyes & make a quick prayer directly asking Him to help you. He’s always listening. Make God the center of your life. Sustain yourself through His strength.
