I was cleaning out an old file and found some Scripture References that I had researched after some prayer time in 2010. I had been praying in my car and complaining about my mother never listening to me and how difficult it was to talk to her. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and God was telling me that I could pray to Him as I would talk to a mother. I realized as I drove a little further that I did have a tendency to only talk to God about things that would be okay to say to a Father. I had not realized that there were some things I did not talk to God about.
Study the Scriptures
I believe when God reveals something to us it will be true in Scripture and will not contradict the Bible. After researching the Scriptures, there were a few main verses that convinced me that I could accept God as my Spiritual Father and Mother. In Ezekiel 16:4-14 I could see that God loved me unconditionally as He would love and care for an abandoned, rescued and adopted baby. Reading Isaiah 66:3 I could see that God comforts me like a good mother should. In Isaiah 49:15 I could see how God always loves me better than a forgetful mother. In Revelations 4:11, I realized because He is spirit and the actual Creator giving life to everything that He thus has the spiritual attributes of a mother. He is the creator of all things (both Father and Mother). In Ephesians 1:5-6 I could see that He adopted me through Christ. Since He is the only spiritual parent, then I could see Him as being able to handle any discussions I would want to talk to a Mother or Father about. Once He helped me see that I could also talk to Him like a Mother, I found that I could talk to Him about everything. Even the things I would want to say only to a mother or another woman.
Focus on God
Holy Father of Love, Thank You for helping me see I can talk to You about anything and everything! Thank You for loving me so much that You sent Your only Son to show me how much You love me. Thank You for loving those I love even more than I do. Praise You for moving on each prayer I come to You about. Amen
