The best approach is to go directly to him and talk to him humbly from your heart that's completely open to him. Otherwise, your pride can easily get in the way to impede any progress.

***Learning to Abandon Ourselves to God***
We always have those we love and pray hard for, yet they remain hardhearted and unbelieving. Perhaps we should become more detached from them and trust in God even more. When God tested Abraham's faith and obedience by asking him to offer his son Isaac as a burnt offering, he actually started carrying it out without hesitation—that was absolutely amazing and inspiring! I think his example can help us abandon ourselves totally to God, knowing that he tests those who love him and will always come through.
***What Not to Put Off
You can put off doing many things and it's not going to matter much, but you should never put off doing God's will. So get to know him well so that you my know and follow his will. True living is all about learning to let God be your Lord, thus setting you free from yourself.
***Knowing Christ vs. Not Knowning Him***
I have not seen Christ the Lord, yet he came to me and made me know him as if I had seen him. For this I am overjoyed and most grateful. I truly pity those who do not believe in him and are unaware of what they are missing and will happen to them in the end should they not wake up.
***Greatest Joy and Greatest Sorrow***
Our greatest joy is knowing that God loves us, and our greatest sorrow is knowing that many do not love him to their own detriment.
***There's Only One God***
If all those who believe in Christ gain eternal life, then certainly all those who reject him won't receive that—he's the dividing factor here. On judgment day, we'll be either taken or left behind. Many believe that there is a God and Christ is it!
***Easter Message to All***
The Lord God bas already extended his mercy to us to the max—he has given his own Son so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. So cast your pride aside, soften you heart, and welcome this terrific news. God is all for us; let him win and we win big!

*****Jesus Is Pivotal*
Today's second reading came from Hebrews 4 & 5. From 5:9, we read that Jesus became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him. This sums up beautifully about Jesus. Obey him and you are saved, all we need to know. It's so simple, yet absolutely pivotal!
***Jesus Our Genuine Savior***
Today is Good Friday of the Lord's Passion. Jesus is believed to have fulfilled over 300 Old Testament prophecies. I do now know them all. But after just reading Isaiah 52:13-53:12, today's first reading, there was no doubt that Jesus had to be the coming Messiah Isaiah prophesied 700 years before his birth. This is absolutely amazing!
