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

Christianity and Social Networks

On social media, people generally tend to speak of Christianity in a negative light. I've seen persons, for example, a feminist on Twitter, attack Christianity for supporting unequal treatment of the sexes when that is not so. They use the Bible to try and prove their points when the truth is most of these persons when they read the Bible only pick out a few verses and call it a day. They do not study the word of God or go to Bible studies so they can understand God's word the way he intend it to be, neither do they pray for God's assistance in interpreting his word. And why should they? They are not Christians. These people want to disregard and ridicule the word of God and Christianity in general. They use the word of God as a means to an end, which is strengthening their points and invalidating Christianity. We live in a world where people find it easy to glorify sin. Everyone's talking about the music or books that encourages us to make money so we can 'stunt ...

Alone or Lonely?

It’s my first year of University and it has been a bitter-sweet experience so far. It’s nice that I have all this freedom to live on hall, away from my parent’s in a new city, not needing permission to do what I want to; but sometimes I wonder if it’s really freedom although I am free. In high school I had a handful of friends who I looked forward to seeing and sharing different stories and jokes from my life. Now, there’s no one. I don’t have those friends anymore, we grew up and everyone’s life took a different path, we hardly get to see each other. I guess I could say I have one friend, my boyfriend.
