Prayer

Praying is a way of talking to God,a way of communicating our feelings to him, but most times we are selfish with our prayers. We ask God for what we want, whether it be forgiveness, healing, money or protection and do not pray for others who also need these things.
I was guilty of this until one day I prayed for one of my friends who was sick and a bereaved family I did not know, but I knew of the difficult time they were facing. It made me feel great, knowing that at that time prayer was the only way and one of the best ways I could give support and try to help these persons.
I just want to encourage you today to remember others in your prayer, especially those who you know are not able to pray for themselves because of their circumstances, non-Christians, bereaved, depressed and the sick.
There are many ways to show your love for people, prayer should never be overlooked.

Here are some lovely quotes about prayer

Self Image and Depression

Recently, I bought some makeup products with the intention of appearing as flawless as the girls I see on YouTube. I was so excited because I have never been an avid makeup user; I may add some pressed powder for medium coverage of my acne scars, some mascara and lip balm then I'd be ready to go. But this time I wanted to go full on with the concealer, foundation, highlight, eyebrow pencil, lipsticks, the whole works. I ended up spending a week's money in a day but it could only afford cheap drugstore products. No surprise, upon reaching home and trying these products I was not satisfied. I felt so disappointed when I realized that to achieve the look I was going for the foundation would cost me US$48. I was so sad because I do not have that type of money for just one thing on my list. Besides, that was what I spent on all the cheap products I bought, realizing that made me feel worse. Also, about two weeks ago I damaged my hair from flat ironing everyday for an entire we...

My Work and Travel Experience

  The summer of 2017, I participated in the Summer Work and Travel Program. This program allowed me to work and live in the United States of America for a little over 3 months on a J1 Visa. The main aim of the program is to learn more about American culture by having first-hand experience through living amongst their people. However, this program turned out to be way better than what I had expected. I learned so much and had a wonderful experience that I intend to go back next summer. The company I worked with hired 9 students, four of us were from Jamaica, two from the Philippines, one from Kazakhstan and two from Ukraine. This program is described as a cultural exchange, between American culture and your own culture. But through this program I was learning about more than just the American culture. I shared a home with two Filipino girls, so their culture was one that I came in direct contact with. I loved learning new things from them and they were such amazing person...
