I started to think about how we should pray. Let me begin by saying this: Prayer is a mysterious thing. I don't know exactly how it works or why God decides to say yes to some of our prayers and no to others. But, I do know that our prayers matter.
The Bible says the prayer of a righteous person is "powerful and effective." And that we must pray believing and not doubting. And there are lots of examples of God responding to prayer. In 2 Chronicles, it says God was "moved" by Manasseh's prayers.
Okay, here's my point: I think we should pray believing that our prayers can be answered in miraculous ways. When someone you know is dying of cancer, I think you can ask for complete healing. God is bigger than any disease we humans face and He is a God who heals, both body and soul. Ultimately, we should pray wanting God's will above all else, but I think part of His will is that we pray believing our prayers matter.

I like what you said. We should pray to him all the time, why not talk to the creater of everything around you, including the mind to pray. YOu also should listen to what he says, and read the bible. The creater of everything is so smart, he knows everything. Why not listen to the God who knows everything. HE sees time from a horizontal stand point. THat makes all the difference. HE made a place in heavon for you. HE also made places for everyone on the earth. Invite someone to heavon with you. WE need to show Gods love today he knows everything. HE set a place for all your friends.
My point is , you are going home. TEll your friends to go to their home in heavon
i liked what that said it was really good. So ben was ceder point fun? did you ride all the rides?
Yes we should get to are home in heaven and hopefully all your friends do. And was good ben you always have good stuff to say.
"If we would pray aright, the first thing we should do is to see to it that we really get an audience with God, that we really get into His very presence. Before a word of petition is offered, we should have the definite consciousness that we are talking to God, and should believe that He is listening and is going to grant the thing that we ask of Him." -R.A. Torrey
I thought both that quote and Jillian's post were pretty cool.
