Jesus Prayer

A Fallen Limb A Catholic school is nothing more than just a routine. I put on the same uniform, sat in the same classroom, and was taught by the same teacher, every day. It was a place where our biggest worry was who had to serve at Church that day. Little did I know, that school and that Church would make me into the person I am today. I attended St. Clement from kindergarten until the eighth grade. In the eight years I was there, I had a total of just four teachers. It was a pretty small…

Literature and Form of Prayers “Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God” – Billy Graham. Prayers causes me to feel a sense of relief. It is the main relaxation method for all who believe in god. Just like prayers, literature also gives me this feeling of relief and relaxation. By engaging in a storyline that I enjoy reading until the end. Literature makes me think about what happened in the storyline and prayers make me think about if my prayers will be answered. To what…

last few months, a battle between Joe Kennedy, a high school varsity football coach, and the Bremerton School District, over whether Coach Kennedy should or should not be allowed to prayer after the football games. The reason that this has become such a problem is because Coach Kennedy has been asked to stop the prayer because it is violation of district policies and the law. Matt Calkin, sports columnist for the Seattle Times, does not see the issue with Coach Kennedy praying on the field…

separated from the church body, they will feel like they don’t belong, and are too young to be a part of worship and, generally speaking, a belief in Christ. Does the Bible ever say to separate the adults and from the children? Certainly not! In fact, Jesus rebuked the disciples for forbidding the little children to “…come unto me.” The best way to train a child to be an active member of the church is to have them be a part of it. Some will pray for others, some children will volunteer…

came over here to have their freedom. Schools used to be able have a prayer before the beginning of each school day over the intercom. Laws abolished this from happening in schools across the nation and major lawsuits were formed. The Second Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the…

for years, and my quiet puts her needs first. My quiet is heartbreaking. Quiet is unanswered questions and the words she can’t say. Quiet is the sound before “Ellen, call 911." My quiet, in short, is complicated. My quiet is already part of the prayers I bring into those spaces. And it is drowned out by the noticing. (Their quiet is not quiet. I can hear the building humming and feel the vibrations of little human noises in the stone floor of the chapel. She is home, a hundred miles away. She…

religious service of Friday Prayer at the Mosque is extremely significant for both the individual and Islamic community. This obligatory ritual enables adherents to submit themselves solely to Allah, expiate individual sins and strengthen their faith communally; therefore proving significant in granting eternal reward. This significance is reflected in the Auburn Gallipoli Mosque, which facilitates the intensely meaningful nature of Jumu’ah through its various features. Friday Prayer at the…

Then my uncle hosts prayer meeting at his house every wednesday. We put God first in our family. My mom is from a communist country named Romania. Even though it was not allowed, she would go to prayer meetings. If the cops found out about these meetings then everyone there would be put to jail. Though they never got caught they still took a high risk in going to these meetings. The communist government would hire people to pretend to be Christians and go to the secret prayer meetings, then they…

4. “Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you” (Jeremiah 29:12). As a child I remember kneeling before my bed and praying for my parents to stop fighting. I found these moments comforting. I was able to express my emotions and share my thoughts, hoping for an answer. Unfortunately, I was never given a direct answer to my problem and I felt confused. I thought God was ignoring me and that my pain was not important enough to fix. I realized it was neither mine…
