God sees your heart, and attitudes and knows if you are sincere, or if you're just playing games. When you get to the point that you are sick and tired of moral failure in your life, and you really want moral purity, THEN call out to God. Don't bother asking God for materialism, and don't bother asking God for understanding.
Jesus said "Seek first the kingdom of God AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ... " God never rejects a truly repentant sinner. N.
John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. First you need to clean yourself up by walking in his laws, statues, commandments, and judgments.
God is not just going to accept you the way you are so that come as you are slogan that they are pushing only applies to Satan because he takes all comers. "Come As You Are" is one of the biggest lies every told. Now if we are talking about attire then yes you can come as you are because God doesn't care how sharp you dress, he is looking at your heart to see if you are righteous or wicked.
If you start to put away your wickedness and seek righteousness God will answer your prayers in accordance with his will. Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Jeremiah 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Revelation 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. Peace in Jesus name.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
