Our relationship with God is like a tree that is “rooted and grounded in Him by faith.” (Colossians 2:7)

The ground represents the fact of God and His Word, the roots represent our faith, and the branches and leaves represent the feelings and experiences that we have. In beautiful summer weather, we rejoice in our experience of God’s blessings. However, when a storm comes that breaks off branches, or winter comes where the leaves fall away, we see that it is being rooted into the Lord that keeps us going until the new growth comes. Likewise, it is faith that keeps you in contact with God, not feelings.

The section will talk about prayer and how pray helps us relate to God.  Look up the scriptures for the answer and post any questions in the Discussion Group.
