Essential Elements of the Christian Worldview

...

Analysis

As a Christian, there are many strengths that we face. One might be the act of praying to God that he can make our situations better. We pray to him about our problems that we are going through, being that he created the Earth that we live on, to get some kind of understanding as to why these different things are happening to us. We hope for a sign to how to get ourselves out of the problem. Sometimes that sign does not come right away and sometimes it does. What is confusing is that people who consider themselves spiritual find it hard to answer questions that are asked to them about God (Proeschold-Bell, R., Yang, C., Toth, M., Corbitt Rivers, M., & Carder, K., 2014). Shouldn’t you know who someone is and what they are made of before you confide in them? Christianity influences a person’s thoughts making them think that God is real. People think God is a Savior that you will never have any problems as long as you worship him. That person’s behavior then changes and does everything God wants them to do.

Reflection

Constantly, you get asked if you go by the Christian beliefs that you feel others as Christians should go by. Honestly, I can say that I do not as much as I did when I was younger. My father was not the type to go to church, but I was always dragged by my mother. I was involved in the choir and my mom was a bible study teacher so you can say most of the days of the week I was at church praising God. I still pray and believe in God but I have not gone to church as much as I am used to. I want to go back to how I was about church and praising God, taking baby steps, because it is hard to find a church that I feel comfortable in out here. When I do I plan on having the same worship for God as I did when I was younger.

Conclusion

Overall, having a Christian worldview consists of faith, reasoning, and believing in Jesus Christ. As long as you dedicate yourself to him he will do the same thing for you. Soon you will see your pain start to heel. As for being a Christian and feeling that you have let God down it is never too late to start believing again.
