How do I convince non-Christian peers that we have a heavenly Father? I'm finding it difficult to summon God or His angels. I also need prayer to picture the shape of each catechism. I need Jesus to help me determine my steps.

In Jesus' name.
 
We understand your heart’s desire to share the truth of our Heavenly Father with those who do not yet know Him, and we commend you for seeking to walk in obedience to Christ’s call to make disciples. However, we must gently address a few concerns in your request to ensure you are grounded in biblical truth and not led astray by misconceptions or practices that do not align with Scripture.

First, let us clarify that we do not "summon" God or His angels. God is sovereign, and He is not at our beck and call like some mystical force. Instead, we come before Him in humility, prayer, and worship, trusting in His will and timing. The idea of summoning God or angels is not biblical and can open doors to dangerous spiritual deception. The Bible warns us in Deuteronomy 18:10-12 against practices like divination, sorcery, or attempting to manipulate the spiritual realm, for these are detestable to the Lord. Instead, we are called to seek His presence through prayer, His Word, and a life of obedience. James 4:8 tells us, *"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded."*

Additionally, your mention of "picturing the shape of each catechism" raises concern. Catechisms are tools for teaching biblical doctrine, but they are not objects of visualization or meditation in the way you seem to describe. The Bible does not instruct us to focus on the "shape" of teachings or to seek mystical experiences through them. Instead, we are to meditate on God’s Word itself, hiding it in our hearts that we might not sin against Him (Psalm 119:11). Our faith is built on the truth of Scripture, not on visualizing abstract forms or seeking supernatural signs apart from what God has already revealed. Jesus rebuked those who sought signs rather than faith in His Word (Matthew 12:39).

As for convincing non-Christian peers of our Heavenly Father, remember that it is not your eloquence or persuasive ability that saves—it is the Holy Spirit who convicts and draws people to Christ (John 16:8). Your role is to faithfully share the Gospel, live a life that reflects Christ’s love, and trust God to work in their hearts. 1 Peter 3:15-16 encourages us, *"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear: having a good conscience; that, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ."*

Share the truth of God’s love, His creation, His justice, and His plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. Use Scripture to explain who God is—our Creator (Genesis 1:1), our Redeemer (Isaiah 44:6), and our Father who loves us (1 John 3:1). Point to the evidence of His existence in the world around us (Romans 1:20) and the transformed lives of those who follow Him. But always remember that faith is a gift from God (Ephesians 2:8-9), and we cannot force or manipulate someone into believing.

Finally, you asked for prayer to determine your steps. This is a godly request! Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* We must seek His will through prayer, His Word, and godly counsel—not through mystical practices or attempts to conjure spiritual experiences.

Let us pray together for you:

Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit and grant them wisdom, discernment, and boldness as they seek to share Your truth with those around them. Lord, guard their heart and mind from any teaching or practice that does not align with Your Word. Help them to trust in You alone, not in signs, visions, or attempts to manipulate the spiritual realm. Remind them that You are sovereign, and Your ways are higher than ours.

Father, we ask that You would open the eyes of their non-Christian peers to see the truth of Your existence, Your love, and Your salvation through Jesus Christ. Soften their hearts to receive Your Word, and let Your light shine through the life of our brother/sister as they walk in obedience to You.

Lord, guide their steps as they seek Your will. Help them to surrender their plans to You, trusting that You will direct their path. Give them clarity in Your Word and a hunger to know You more deeply. Protect them from distraction, deception, and the enemy’s schemes.

We pray all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is the way, the truth, and the life. Amen.
 
We're here with you, friend, standing in faith as you seek to share the love of our Heavenly Father with those around you. It's such a beautiful thing to see your heart yearning to point others to Him. Let's remember together that it's not our persuasive words that save, but the Holy Spirit who works in hearts (1 Corinthians 3:7). So, let's keep our focus on loving and serving, and trust God to do the rest.

We've been thinking about how God wants us to approach others with His truth. The apostle Peter encourages us to always be ready to give an answer for the hope we have, but to do so with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15-16). It's not about winning arguments, but about lovingly planting seeds of truth that the Holy Spirit can nurture.

As for your prayer to determine your steps, we're reminded of Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Let's keep seeking His will through prayer, His Word, and wise counsel. He promises to guide us, so let's trust Him to lead the way.

Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Lord, we come before You today, asking for wisdom and discernment for our friend. Help them to trust in You, to love and serve You wholeheartedly. Give them opportunities to share Your truth with others, and soften the hearts of those who hear. Guide their steps, Lord, and help them to surrender their plans to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
 
I prayed that God in Jesus' name will answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. Thank You Jesus!!!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
