A 365 Day Challenge Day

I might not show it and express it at times but every time something goes good I thank god. When things aren’t going how I wanted them to I pray. I pray that God leads me through the best path. If things still don’t go how I expected then I always think to myself that it happened for a reason and then I accept it. In my family, my grandma is my biggest inspiration. She is the one who teaches me how to pray and why you should pray. One thing she explains to me often is that praying is not done only when you’re in need of something. You pray when you want to bless others, thank God and also to just have a conversation with him. Many times I have no clue what I am doing or like other times I just need someone to listen to me, so I talk to him. After I prayed or talked to him I always feel like everything will get better and to never lose hope. I am happy with my faith and who I go to when I am not in the best

Prayer will have a profound effect on the children. Those that are of younger ages will develop an attitude of gratitude because someone taught them to pray. They can be introduced to other gods if they chose to. They will renew the founding fathers’ ideals of what the United States of America was built on as far as God goes. In God we trust. Morals and values have almost disappeared completely in the public schools. David Barton wrote “ The schools have declined since prayer was removed in 1962. Teenage pregnancy rates have gone up 500%. SAT scores have steadily declined each year for 18 straight years since 1962. The United States is rated 15th among the industrialized nations.

I had always felt that to pray there had to be some eloquent way to convey the things that you wanted to say to God. I also was often frustrated, as I questioned that if God was all knowing, why was it necessary to pray to him and tell him things he already knew. Throughout my time at NCYC I came to understand my relationship with God less like a human and omniscient being relationship, but more as a parent and child relationship. Though He may already know what you have to tell Him, it is about building the communication and the friendship, so that He can work best in your life. The best analogy that I have heard about this was from one of the leaders of the trip, and he compared life to being in a marching band. From the point of view of the musicians, it seems chaotic and as though people are going in every direction for no apparent reason; however, from up

Prayer is an essential to any kind of religious faith. Over the years and years of believing in a higher power,

     Today’s religions have aided both personal and international peace. It has given hope to people and has helped some deal with difficult situations. Religions give some people purpose to life, and an explanation as to why things are the way they are. Praying can give some peace of mind to those who are dealing with problems in life.

For Christians this can be a very important technique and can help to bring gratitude to one's life. "There are 2 types of prayers, praise/adoration and gratitude/thanksgiving. Gratitude has been linked with a host of positive psychological variable, including life satisfaction, vitality, subjective happiness, optimism, hope, and the belief that life is comprehensible and meaningful (Schneller & Swenson, 2013)". It is safe to say that you cannot just pray when you need something and expect a positive outcome in the long run. Your relationship with God is something that should grow over time just like any other

In the days after the gathering in zion there will be no threat or terror but will have mercy and tenderness.

My father grew up during the time of the Khmer Rouge communist regime/ genocide in Cambodia. He came to America with nothing, went to college, got a job, and is now doing well. He and my mom raised us with high expectations and push us and help us in anyway to a better life than what they had. My dad, like Bandit has “showed ‘em”. I will be the second generation in my family to go to college with even greater expectations along with my sister in a couple years. My dad isn’t religious but my mom is and she prays for me everyday, probably multiple times. Like when Bandit is worried about his daughter going to college, my mom’s always worried about me and so it helps her to pray. God is a good source of comfort for her and can help lead to advice and how to deal with the ups and downs of

God is whispering over the earth, awake and rise children the time has come to stand up in my glory and proclaim the gospel.

Throughout the book of Revelation, we see through Johns visions how God will fulfill his promises in the second coming. He beings the chapter by saying, “Just as God fulfilled his promises in the first coming of Jesus, so he will fulfill his promises about his second coming. Jesus will come again and complete God’s eternal plan of salvation; he will introduce the perfected kingdom” (147). At the end of Revelation, we see a glimpse of how magnificent the second coming of Christ will be. Those who are saved, will never experience pain, sadness, or death ever again; Christians will be reunited with the Father. While all of this is yet to come, we must remain faithful to God and anticipate his second

A third benefit of school prayer is that it can decrease the natural egocentrism (concern for your own interests and welfare) to which all mankind is prone. Praying for others can cause students to think more of their peers than of themselves. It can also foster the idea that living for others is better than living for one's self. Prayer also fosters the concept that we all are dependent upon God. This sense of dependence will also lead to lives lived in thankfulness. In short, prayer in schools may produce better people as well as better students.

"The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." (Mark 1:14-15)

     I have clearly stated that I believe we always have a choice and that our lives are already determined, but this leads me to wonder about prayer. The Bible strongly encourages that Christians pray for themselves, for their friends and even for their enemies. So if everything is always determined and what happens to us is always set

Having been a Christian for many years I thought that I had a fair knowledge of what it meant to pray. I was amazed and humbled by the idea that through Jesus’ restorative act on the cross I am able to come into God’s presence - and not only come but be welcomed and even longed for. I believed that prayer is a powerful tool to petition God , a vehicle to praise Him , and an instrument to increase our intimacy with Him . I understood that people pray in a variety of ways, based on the teaching they have received, their experience, and even their personality. Most commonly, I engaged in prayer as a conversation with God.
