Does God show you yourself through others? Your possible future? Your shortcomings? Strengths and weaknesses? Your progress? Your solutions? Prayer is about focus and discipline so that you may more easily find your way as guided. That's not religion, that's Faith! I don't speak beyond God often, it's personal and it's ok to hold that upbringingvabdcecperience close to the heart, however remember each feels just as you within, too. Denomination, as Religion itself too, more often divides if the majority is ignorant of the religions too, and it's quite impossible to know all of mans current faiths at any given instant. Faith is within us each, it's our fabric. It's what got you and myself, each of us all here... and it's more powerful than fear! Fear is used to control a situation or outcome, no matter if produced from within or without. Don't fear religion, and always build upon your solid foundation of what's proven to you to be Faith. Just some thoughts after the first half-decade.
I'm a Christian, and I'm very displeased about how that appears to the non-christian, and equally disappointed in the observations I see as acceptable in "Christian Life".
We have, all of us, of all divisions, ;( , have a lot of work to do!
Hate
Terrorism
Murder
Mass Shootings
These are acceptable on a daily basis now as a regular diet of information as an instant flowing input, as it's pushed upon the masses today, and can you not see the self fulfillingg cycles at work here???
We have hate, feeding on hare, breeding hate.
Everybody can point a finger, but who can take care of themselves and help the next who is suffering?
Why so much suffering though?
It's purposeful and with deep intent, so contemplate this thought carefully please.
I believe with Faith, the future will be precisely what we together settle for.
