| I have received some very great advice from all of you, and some scripture to check into as I continue my journey. Thank you! =) I'm glad I have a place to come to express my questions. It's hard to find groups on social networks like this that share you beliefs on broad scale. Christianity is becoming a cherished and rare trait. I'm glad I can lean you my BHW folk when I need some faithful uplifting! Thank you friends! | |

| With all of the craziness going on in this day and time, all of the abuse, adultery, corruption, it is easy to start having those doubts. Sometimes I have a weak moment myself and ask myself if God is perfect, then why did he create such a messed up world? Why did he let things get like this? Why didn't he only create good hearted, God fearing people? But when I start doubting, I sit outside at night (usually on a horse out in the pasture) and I start to pray. It use to be hard to do, but now it comes so easy. I pray for our country, pray for everyone's health, pray for cures for cancer, etc....pray for specific friends that may be going through a rough spot, and most important give THANKS for everything......family, friends, job, health, beautiful weather, our animals we love so much, anything you are thankful for. Don't ASK for any material things, just pray for others and be thankful for what you have. Always pray for his forgiveness. Once you get started, you will find sometimes it is hard to stop. Things will pour from your soul. I always get cold chills when I do this and I know that chill is His presence around me.

This is awesome! I always get cold chills too when I pray, especially when I'm just appreciating Gods work or his plan.  | |

Location: Eastern OH but my heart is in WV | I don't have time to read all the posts right now but I would like to suggest "The Story" book to you. It is the bible told more in a story form, with some actual verses from the Bible, for easier reading. It has a GREAT DVD series you can get with it too. I think it is a very good foundation for anyone starting to study God's word or just wanting to learn more.
We are doing the series right now in our SS class and we are all in different stages of our walk. I have never personally read all the way through the bible, so I am learning a lot from this series. I have tried reading the Bible from cover to cover but get to booged down in the Old Testment, so this is a really nice alternative. | |

Location: arkansas | Prayers to all, it is so great to see other with the faith in thease times when so much wrong is going on, so much we don't understand. I hate seeing all of the bad in our government, so many Christian people being persecuted for their faith, but then I think all of this may have to happen for the time to get right for rapture. I would like prayer for my family we have started a Cowboy Church in Arkansas and the Lord is Blessing us, I pray for him to give us wisdom and strength and for him to send us the people we need to help us grow and reach out to the lost and wisdom to always do his will and to protect us from the evil one. You guys are great!!!! | |
