Im just going to admit it, and this is the person that I am. I was raised in a religion to be taught peace but pretty much degrade other religions as well as other religons who claim to be Christianity and that was my child hood religion.
Now Ive become enlightened
To be honest I dont consider myself a religious person anymore but Im on team God then religion.
Im not the traditional religious followers of Christianity! I believe in equality for ll people. I have enlightened and educated myself. I guess I am a liberal Christian
So if I had to place myself in the group my belief would consist of Christianity, Buddhism and Wiccan!
If you want to call me a liberal Christian Im fine with that I really like God and believe in him
But How can I be worthy of God and to have him taken me seriously when I pray?

You cannot be taken seriously in that frame of mind about yourself. You are loved and highly favored of God and it is not God making you feel unworthy, in fact you are precious in his sight.
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. Isaiah 49:16
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.psalm 139:14
I encourage you like the psalmist said to seek and know it full well.
Yes, you are right. You are unworthy of God's mercy love and justice. What you and all people deserve is death for our sins. But God has given us a savior, Jesus Christ. By faith in HIm, we have forgiveness and mercy for our sins. So in love, God hears the prayers of his children, those who believe His words, trust in His promises and seek to walk in his ways.
T’was battered and scarred, and the auctioneer
thought it scarcely worth his while to waste much time on the old violin,
but held it up with a smile; “What am I bidden, good folks,” he cried,
“Who’ll start the bidding for me?” “A dollar, a dollar”; then two!” “Only
two? Two dollars, and who’ll make it three? Three dollars, once; three
dollars twice; going for three..” But no, from the room, far back, a
gray-haired man came forward and picked up the bow; Then, wiping the dust
from the old violin, and tightening the loose strings, he played a melody
pure and sweet as caroling angel sings.
The music ceased, and the auctioneer, with a voice that was quiet and low,
said; “What am I bid for the old violin?” And he held it up with the bow.
A thousand dollars, and who’ll make it two? Two thousand! And who’ll make
it three? Three thousand, once, three thousand, twice, and going and
gone,” said he. The people cheered, but some of them cried, “We do not
quite understand what changed its worth.” Swift came the reply: “The touch
of a master’s hand.”
And many a man with life out of tune, and battered and scarred with sin,
Is auctioned cheap to the thoughtless crowd, much like the old violin, A
“mess of pottage,” a glass of wine; a game – and he travels on. “He is
going” once, and “going twice, He’s going and almost gone.” But the Master
comes, and the foolish crowd never can quite understand the worth of a soul
and the change that’s wrought by the touch of the Master’s hand.

I am not worty to God How to have God to listen and respond to me
Purge your heart of wickedness and sin and be sincere in your confessions and GOD will hear you. But only GOD can know if you're sincere, so it's a waste of time to lie to mankind because mankind is not GOD.
