“Don’t pray to escape trouble. Don’t pray to be comfortable in your emotions. Pray to do the will of God in every situation. Nothing else is worth praying for.”
God,
You know the turmoil in my heart and I pray that Your will be done in it all. I pray that my heart to be in tune with Yours. I don’t want to pray to be comfortable in this. I just want to be surrounded...

Prayer
Please pray for my brother!! He’s heavy on my heart and I’m not sure of his standing with the Lord. Pray for protection and clarity of mind!
Thank You!!

It sucks to have to ask God to take feelings for...
itrulyonlywntyou:
Just because I’m a Christian doesn’t mean I can’t feel fleshly desires, I just have to depend on Him to keep me in line.
Everything will come in time, in His perfect time.
Honesty?
God please take these feelings away. Continue to show me how to guard my heart.
Talking to my best friend…
We’ve been best friends since 1st grade.
People think it’s weird that we’re still so close especially since we dated for about 3 years.
I just think that if you truly care for someone male or female, you will keep them in your life.
Many people can’t comprehend boys and girls being just friends for so long or being just friends after...

I have flaws and sometimes I even sin

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who...
I listened to the local pop/hip-hop station today and while listening to it the first thought that popped into my head was “Since when did girls become comfortable with the idea of being a sex object?” When and how did Satan get into our heads and bury that lie deep inside of us? When did we go from homemakers and mothers and wives to just objects? We’ve become objects that they...

The Famous Jett Jackson is cracking me up right now. Oh how I miss this show. I miss the old Disney Channel.
we still don't get it.
dustincole:
There’s a big difference between falling down (Peter) and falling away (Judas). Grace means God’s got your back. Like Peter, your failure is not final.
Get back up. Go back to God. No, you’re not worthy. But neither were you worthy when you came to God the first time. It was Jesus’ worthiness that made you worthy then.
What makes you think the terms of acceptance have changed?

John 12:20-28 (Key Verses 23-28)
23 Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life…
I hate being surrounded by people yet still feeling lonely. Its a feeling that part of me says I should get used to.
”Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.”
How many of us get upset when we don’t see rapid growth in our relationship with Christ? I know I do, especially when I have been growing rapidly and then I hit a plateau. It scares me. I feel like I’m doing something wrong when in reality I wasn’t the one doing anything in the first place. It...
Did anyone else just get back home from college and run into everything that you tried to forget for the past few months or was that just me?

I used to watch Nicholas Sparks movies, waiting and hoping for a love story as beautiful as the ones he has written. Today I realized that if Nicholas Sparks can write romance novels that beautiful, imagine how great a romance can be written by our God. I cannot wait to have people see us together and wish for a love like ours.

I hate when I know that something is wrong for me but I want to do it anyways. I’m trying to justify it. Then I begin to argue the other side. I continue to go back and forth but in the end God and His Word are the Ultimate Authority.
God,

We had a worship convocation Wednesday and as I was worshiping I felt like I ran straight into a brick wall. A girl shared her testimony about how her dad was given 6 months to live and my heart froze. Anger began to swell up inside of me and I just started praying “God take it away, take it, take it. God I don’t want to be angry, take it, TAKE IT! JUST TAKE IT!” Even in my...
So blessed by my dashboard this morning. The right verses and quotes at such a right time. God is truly sovereign. Glory to Him.
This Is Our God: We NEED an intimacy with Christ →
onfireforgod:
It’s ALL about an intimacy with Him!
Look, I’m going to get straight to the point; what’s the point in anything if it’s not bringing you closer to Him? What’s the point of all this head knowledge if we’re not going to transform it into worship? What’s the point of theology and doctrine if we…
