Very nicely said!! Good question!!

I don't ask God to do anything for me. Only that he give me the good grace to deal with bad times and bad people. In all of my trials it is him I turn to because voices from people, churches and even priests is shadowed by their selfish intent and need for control. God releases us from that bondage in our personal relationship to Him. In God you need not worry about judgement till the end, unlike people who judge all the way through.
In my prayers I don't listen to the outside influences. I don't ask for things to be done by my God, I ask what I can do for God while I am here. I don't know if that is prayer. I know that what I see happening around me isn't!!

Thanks for you post!! Thought provoking!!

Who can we pray to, with, turn to other than that of God!!

I have a question for Nigeria, is a church the building or the love and kindness of the people inside the building. I ask because of recent events that have destroyed an already dying community. I posted a topic on here about something and realized I needed alot of guidance and prayer over it, please feel free to read it and comment there about it.
I have great respect for the family and church values displayed and talked of by Nigerians, not as talked about or self proclaimed by Canadians.
I have my opinion, the church is a building. It houses the people in it. The people are supposed to display the church and community spirit. If the spirit is sour there is no church it's just a building full of nasty people.

In Jesus name I pray for the two women who know nothing and therefore know not what they do!! I pray their lives become fulfilled to where they can chase their own dreams. I pray that the love and fellowship of the one true God come and shine in their hearts. Jesus you were crucified so these women could take shots!! I am truely sorry for that thought. Please help me to remain patient and kind and love them in spite of their wickedness and lies!! I am truely satisfied in the Lord's graces and all that he has fulfilled in my life and my childrens lives, even down to the animals I have resuced. All is beautiful!! I am truely blessed in myself. (not my husband) I am my own strong person and as such will get ridicule from the ones who can't think or do for themself. Jesus come be in my heart and touch theirs as well. So more in this community don't have to suffer like I have at their hands. God knows this town is a killing field for spirit, let me rise above and be with you now.
There is also a new one jbwillrot (nikki swiminer) she is another wounded drug addict in this town with an addiction to drama and sex like the other girls. Please pray for them, their addictions and fears stopping them from getting their own lives.
