The famous Christian rapper NF shares honestly how he doesn't pray as much as he should and sometimes only prays when he's in need. @NFrealmusic Can you relate?
True Christians admit when the fall short, also like him feel bad when they only go to him when its bad. His heart and soul knows it needs God, but the sinful flesh pulls him away from it. The daily battle against the sinful flesh and the God fear spirit is tough but recognizing that puts him in a place that gives room for growth and development in that relationship with God.
Point being, we all fall short. But to those of us that believe he is always there for us. Jesus is closer to the broken hearted. It could be months before you pray again. Not saying that it's right, but that depends on your prayer at that time. That is on you, and that is all the father requires. If you believe he is with you every day, and you do your part here on earth to inspire others. You are doing your part more than you realize. But praise God for being allowed to do so, and using your platform to do it. No reason to feel terrible for not praying. But if you realize you don't do it enough, just take a minute.❤️ Then try to do better moving forward while realizing you ain't perfect, and you might even fail. He is always there waiting for you.🙌
Check out new one! Every NF interview affect things I'm focusing on, the ways he thinks I'm trying too cuz it makes sense to me, just like every verse of his song.
I love the song Change because he talks about how he should be praying to God more. He says he's going to do something different in the future admitting that he hasn't been praying enough. I love when Christians admit that they're not perfect and that they need help in areas of spirituality.
@Steph-uq9lh and for me when trying to pray more and read Bible more, there goes more attacks spiritually....still hold onto God even when I fail Him daily....
The religion itself makes you "feel guilty". we're taught that. Think about it. 😉 You do you and if you wanna ask for help when you need it, that just says that you're strong.. God likes that. ❤
Don’t be so hard on yourself, God values when you talk to him, he is loving and forgiving but it can be a chore to really believe in that. Because where else can you get love like that, right?
“God is not a crutch, you can use Him when you wanna. You only look to Heaven when you goin’ through some drama and when you goin’ through some problems and that’s the only time you call Him. I guess I don’t understand that life, wonder why? ‘Cause’ I’m all in.” - NF, Til The Day I Die
As a Christian my self I can relate I find it so hard to remember that I can talk to God and I find it hard to trust that he'll answer even though I know deep down it just hard for me
I think every Christian goes through this when we get desperate we turn towards god but I’ve grown little by little and gotten closer to him NF has helped a lot
Having a relationship with god isn’t about church, Jesus said wherever 2 or 3 are in my name is the church. The church is the body of Christ, which are Christian’s.
@@sheabenitez8897At the same time though it’s better to be with a church where u can be with other followers of Christ who are holding u accountable and lifting u up
@@adrielgonzalez6923eh, you don’t need church to have a relationship with God. He existed before churches were even a thing. And besides, churches in my experience are judgmental, some of them lie about where the tithes are going, and the Catholic Church…less said about that the better.
@@glowhoo9226 Scripture commands you to go to church, but yes I agree the church does not establish our relationship with God. As for corrupt churches, people are corrupt, so institutions will always have evil people in them. That is not a valid reason to not attend a local church. I would encourage you to check out some of the scriptures about attending church.
@@funmattingly “oh lord” is nothing compared to the verse he wrote for “till the day I die.” If you’re going to reference something on this subject, it should be the other
Me too. For over twenty years, I blamed God for every little thing that went wrong, even though I’ve first hand experienced the Holy Spirit myself SO many times. It’s only this year, I’m finally understanding. I’m not perfect, at all. I’m just now learning, it’s been on me for making so many mistakes and I need God. And I need to talk to Him. Everyday, good or bad.
My church taught me you should take time to be alone with just you n God, however talking to him just like you would a friend (except this friend has telepathy) and talk to him in all that you do, it's easy❤ you aren't a bad Christian, as long as you got Jesus in your heart man. ❤ I'm thankful there's a rapper my kid likes, and he (you!) believes in God! I pray God blesses you and that you find the time you feel you need to have with God ❤
Everyone falls short. Don't let guilt keep you from speaking with your father. Its ok. What do you think he'd rather? You talk to him sometimes or never?
You’re lyrics demonstrates that you do talk to God (more than you know). You have a great soul, Nate. God gave you the gift to reach out to lost souls. Thank you for your music. It inspires me so much.🌺
Your are my new favorite artist, I just love your songs! Running my fave, then HAPPY and My stress! God is always listening when you are ready. God Bless🙏
Great way to put yourself in check, I often find myself only talking to God when Im in a rough spot and need guidance, I need to appreciate him for all my positive situations and start thanking him for my countless blessings he's provided me with. ❤
I understand where he is coming from. It is like we only talk to God when we need him not when we win. Its only the losses that we find our way to asking for prayers.
I agree with NF. Nobody prays nowadays. But God, they're there whether we believe, know it or not. Just because God he/she/they/them ain't listening doesn't they aren't they watching & they might come when you want them to but they're right time.
Can see the bright side through the dark times when there ain't one -NF I LOVE YOU NF SO MUCH YOUR SONGS ARE SO RELATABLE BUT YEA I LOVE YOU KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING I HOPE YOU BECOME REALLY REALLY RICH❤
While I think it's important to pray to God on a constant basis, I'm really glad NF is being honest. Sometimes life get's confusing when you don't see honesty like this in awhile.
Hey man, Every person struggles with this! The last 2 years I noticed i quit reading my bible everyday even just a little bit until recently! Your songs are amazing and I hope and pray you find your way again!
Make him a priority in your life and it will become a habit. He wants to be involved in all of your life and it’s such a blessing to walk with him and have him guide you. You can’t go wrong if you learn to hear his voice and follow it. We need people like NF to be an influence for good to young people in this messed up time.
I love him. & NF. That's what being a Christian is about.. relizing these things and admiting, and changing it for the better! Ur lucky to have that self awareness! ❤️
I use to feel this way between the ages of 18-21. It took sometime but I found my way back. Stay strong it can be difficult but when you get there you'll feel at peace.
I can relate to questioning why I search for God when I'm at my lowest... Because you're just human... And God expects that and hopes you do your best in life.
talking is good, but learning how to get quiet enough to listen is key. given your catalog and gift, it's clear your listening!! your hard work is paying off! stay blessed! your music has been a blessing to so many and that's Gods work tied up with you! thank you NF
He's watching you and if you got that much prayer going on for you from your family and church you'll be back praise God hallelujah amen praying for you also
Make Christianity latent in the song, but don’t make it the main focus. Like C.S. Lewis said, “we don’t need more books about Christianity, we need more book by Christians with Christianity latent.”
That's what I did I felt like I'm just guilty not talking to god but I do say good night to god that's what I always like to do sometimes I forget though amen
We all fall short , nf isn’t the only one that does . Even those who pray consistently don’t always get their prayers answered only when God wills it .
Everyone is like this. They go to God when they are in a point of struggle. Use these moments to bring you closer to Him. Try your best to stay as close to God as you are in these moments. Every time you forget about God He will put you in a time like that so you can remember Him. It’s a beautiful thing
“It’s hard to answer prayers when no body’s praying to you” Astonishing he can write and produce that lyric and also admit he falls short. #MadRespect
True Christians admit when the fall short, also like him feel bad when they only go to him when its bad. His heart and soul knows it needs God, but the sinful flesh pulls him away from it. The daily battle against the sinful flesh and the God fear spirit is tough but recognizing that puts him in a place that gives room for growth and development in that relationship with God.
Thats the lyrics of "Oh Lord"
First thing I thought aboutwhen listening to this video
Exactly it takes balls to do that
Point being, we all fall short. But to those of us that believe he is always there for us. Jesus is closer to the broken hearted. It could be months before you pray again.

Being a Christian is not about being perfect it's about following Jesus
So true
‘christian is not the definition of what perfect means’
yes i love the LORD but sometimes i get..... brod
amen
Lets go!1
"Don't nobody wanna pray
Till they got something to pray for"
Oh Lord - NF
"conversation with the Lord should be every day" -NF Let em Pray
Amen
and also lyrics from let em pray :
see you prayin on my downfall go on keep on praying God ain't listenin to you
@@Dudukmakarnathat means God doesn’t listen to the people praying on people’s downfall. Come on keep up
@@Anonymous-mx9dhyeah I’ll admit that got me like “hold on NF?” The my brother said he was talking about what you said
Don’t nobody wanna pray, til they got something to pray for - NF - Oh Lord
It feels so unreal to see a famous person like this be a good person as well.
Is keanu reeves a joke too u😂?
I think a healthy dose of social anxiety helps keep the Hollywood fakeness away lol
Eminem is a nice guy too
Thank you for this NF interview. It really speaks to my soul.
The soul is a crashendo of music
love his music thank god for him
Check out new one! Every NF interview affect things I'm focusing on, the ways he thinks I'm trying too cuz it makes sense to me, just like every verse of his song.
He is speaking facts
Awesome thank the Lord
He's a very humble person and that's what I found to be admirable
Yeah he knows he’s a sinnee
Sinner*
@@placefeature5329everyone is a sinner, what's your point 💀?
@@Taiyunnthey probably are talking about the people who think or act like they don’t or have never sin
Just his voice is so calm and it feels so peaceful 😌
Yeah
It is calming but the subject of his speech is quite unnerving actually
I love the song Change because he talks about how he should be praying to God more. He says he's going to do something different in the future admitting that he hasn't been praying enough. I love when Christians admit that they're not perfect and that they need help in areas of spirituality.
his song happy literally opens up with " dear god, please, hear me out I know it's been a couple years"😩😣
@@TraplordVeg yes he's obviously grown spiritually on this album!
There’s no such thing as praying enough or not praying enough, which is great. All we can do is accept Jesus for our lives
@@gudgmembermatthew6687 There is strength in prayer. In my life, the more I pray the closer I am to God. The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing.
@Steph-uq9lh and for me when trying to pray more and read Bible more, there goes more attacks spiritually....still hold onto God even when I fail Him daily....
I really feel that way too, I forget to pray and only pray when I need to. It makes me feel really guilty.
The religion itself makes you "feel guilty". we're taught that. Think about it. 😉 You do you and if you wanna ask for help when you need it, that just says that you're strong.. God likes that. ❤
Jesus loves you so much and desires to have a deeper relationship with you. Don’t feel guilty but, make an effort to reach out to God more.
Don’t be so hard on yourself, God values when you talk to him, he is loving and forgiving but it can be a chore to really believe in that. Because where else can you get love like that, right?
Damn I can relate to that so much
Same, my grandpa was a pastor also
Same my grandpa was a pastor too
Why are u cursing if you are a Christian..
@@jamesbo8521that’s not a bad word
@@kaililan6212 it's a curse word do your research man..
“God is not a crutch, you can use Him when you wanna. You only look to Heaven when you goin’ through some drama and when you goin’ through some problems and that’s the only time you call Him. I guess I don’t understand that life, wonder why? ‘Cause’ I’m all in.” - NF, Til The Day I Die
Oh my god, this is from that TobyMac song. Oh my god, that was NF. Oh my god i feel old now
Not many people know this song!!
I love that song. It’s the first time I heard NF in a song.
Wait, how cant he relate if he just admitted to it?
Older song, could’ve been a different story for him back then or Toby Mac could’ve helped write it.
All I can say is don’t feel guilty. God wants you to talk to him especially in the rough times even if it’s been a while; he loves hearing from you.
The point is you shouldn't only call on God and pray to Him when things are going bad.
As a Christian my self I can relate I find it so hard to remember that I can talk to God and I find it hard to trust that he'll answer even though I know deep down it just hard for me
"Dear God, I know it's been a couple of years since I reached out and said hello. I bet you're wondering, why I keep stressing all the little things"
“When I should be, living life and soaking up the memories. I’ve been selfish, I have no excuse to give you it’s true.
"You only look to heaven when you going through some drama" man, that lyric feels even more substantial knowing he struggles with this himself.
this is why we love nf he is inspiring and hes humble we all come short at times but its a hard thing to admit
I think every Christian goes through this when we get desperate we turn towards god but I’ve grown little by little and gotten closer to him NF has helped a lot
Ima pastors kid and I feel the same way all the time as NF said tho in I’ll Keep On, “thank the Lord I serve a God that’s perfect”
"I only talk to God when I need a favor"- JellyRoll
Chance I scroll after and it's an NF song
Sometimes I don’t pray but I feel like god forgives me 😢
As long as you mean it wholeheartedly he will
That’s why his song “Happy” resonates so strongly. The authenticity is there. Preciate the transparency and vulnerability
I love that NF isn’t a toxic Christian. Keep doing what your doin man, hold your head up.
Respect for NF 👏🏼
He's humble for admitting he doesn't talk to God much unless he needs help. If he sees this, We all do it. We're all imperfect.
To be honest I can relate I haven't gotten to church for a long time....
God is just waiting at the door man, take that first step

I'm not alone.
Nope you arent!! I will be praying for you Paula!!!
He wrote a song about only praying when you need something well it’s not all about that but it says something about it the song is oh lord
Actually, no. Look up his verse for “Till the day I Die”
Wdym no yes he did it’s called oh lord 😂 wdym no
@@funmattingly “oh lord” is nothing compared to the verse he wrote for “till the day I die.” If you’re going to reference something on this subject, it should be the other

may god guide him sincerely :3
These words remind me of "Happy" by NF
it really does for me too
NF is a great artist but he’s so lost right now and I truly hope he finds a real relationship with God before it’s too late
Its never to late
Yeah, he changed, he evolved, his new album is called Hope, what is God? God is Faith, Hope and Love❤
I feel like he's talking about me when he says that he feels guilty when he talks to God when he really needs Him
NF i have huge respect for u, u extremely talented. One of the best artists if this generation
It’s the honesty that hits. I appreciate that
It's ok Nate... We all get in stuck mode sometimes...He understands.
Love you 🌹

Nf always keeping it real! 🙏
I really appreciate Nate and his music 👍
I think he is still a shining example, clean lyrics, etc.
He’ll always hug you back feeling welcomed child. 💕
❤ he is such a legend
Sometimes there's that age group that gets caught up in the world,,, hopefully later we get back on track.
That doesn’t make it ok.
It's most certainly not limited to an age group. It's everyone
God bless and protect Nate 🙌
If yall listen to his song “Oh Lord” it talks abt this :)
Everyone falls short. Don't let guilt keep you from speaking with your father. Its ok. What do you think he'd rather? You talk to him sometimes or never?
Bro this is exactly how i feel i thought i was the only one

Well smartin up, you gotta talk to God everyday! He can’t hear you if you ain’t speaking. ❤🙏✌️
Same hearing love your music
The song change says “Next year I might do something different like talking to God”. Love your work keep at it.
I am a Christian and have been going to church my whole life yet I still don’t pray to God like I should, it’s just human you’re not alone ❤
Man you made 2 of my favorite Christian songs ever and actually helped me get closer to god with them. Thank you!
Love what this man does NF ✊💙
Great way to put yourself in check, I often find myself only talking to God when Im in a rough spot and need guidance, I need to appreciate him for all my positive situations and start thanking him for my countless blessings he's provided me with. ❤
“why do i only do it, when i feel this way?” this is an amazingly accurate and beautiful statement
God is not a clutch you can use him when you want him you only look to heaven when you going thru some problems -nf
That's why his song Oh Lord is so relatable.
I understand where he is coming from. It is like we only talk to God when we need him not when we win. Its only the losses that we find our way to asking for prayers.
Damn relatable

Most people only call on god when they’re in need. But ignore him every other time
This also gives some more context to happy from hope now
Can see the bright side through the dark times when there ain't one -NF
I LOVE YOU NF SO MUCH YOUR SONGS ARE SO RELATABLE BUT YEA I LOVE YOU KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING I HOPE YOU BECOME REALLY REALLY RICH❤
"Dear God, please hear me out. I know it's been a couple of years since I've reached out and said hello." -Happy by NF
So relatable 😢
You and me both brother. Always take over as soon as I get comfortable.
While I think it's important to pray to God on a constant basis, I'm really glad NF is being honest. Sometimes life get's confusing when you don't see honesty like this in awhile.
Pray every day , ask and ye shall receive! Make sure to gracious
Hey man, Every person struggles with this! The last 2 years I noticed i quit reading my bible everyday even just a little bit until recently! Your songs are amazing and I hope and pray you find your way again!
That’s exactly how I feel
I pray GOD HELPS THIS YOUNG MAN FIND HIM
"Dear God please,hear me out I know it's been a couple years since I've reached"-Nf happy
The way he speaks makes me feel so.. relevant..
"I need to put a little more time into my faith" im the same way.
This is what the song “Oh Lord” is all about!
Always ask God to guide us to the straight path, just till we die
Make him a priority in your life and it will become a habit. He wants to be involved in all of your life and it’s such a blessing to walk with him and have him guide you.

I love him. & NF. That's what being a Christian is about.. relizing these things and admiting, and changing it for the better! Ur lucky to have that self awareness! ❤️
When he talks normally, it feels like im hearing his lyrics
Basically his music is real and is a story of true feelings with him and us. Oh lord is basically what this is
I use to feel this way between the ages of 18-21. It took sometime but I found my way back. Stay strong it can be difficult but when you get there you'll feel at peace.

I feel u I understand how ur feeling I can relate
The way he’s talking and the things he’s saying sounds like he released his song Oh Lord right after this
Facts. Honesty is so refreshing! ❤️
talking is good, but learning how to get quiet enough to listen is key. given your catalog and gift, it's clear your listening!! your hard work is paying off! stay blessed! your music has been a blessing to so many and that's Gods work tied up with you! thank you NF

LET'EM PRAY
What I like about Christian artists is that their lyrics are only vaguely religious so it's more relatable to non-Christians
Make Christianity latent in the song, but don’t make it the main focus. Like C.S. Lewis said, “we don’t need more books about Christianity, we need more book by Christians with Christianity latent.”
That's what I did I felt like I'm just guilty not talking to god but I do say good night to god that's what I always like to do sometimes I forget though amen
It’s because pain draws you to god you’ll get there! God is good all the time and all the time GOD is good❤
I’m praying for you Nate
I pray for NFs prayer life to be strengthened, I know he is a believer. God bless him.
I am just like this, and I’m so glad that it’s relatable to other people. ❤
We all fall short , nf isn’t the only one that does . Even those who pray consistently don’t always get their prayers answered only when God wills it .

I'm the same way, I almost never pray unless I need something, its hard to keep it up when life beats you down a lot
