Lord's Prayer

Jesus’ Disciple, Thomas, who had to ‘see to believe.’ Sure, I prayed regularly. Sometimes those prayers were answered, and other times they were clearly neglected. But when those prayers were answered, did I sincerely accept that it was the work of the almighty God himself? Were divine trials and celestial miracles simply a synthetic artistry created by man to explain a much greater enigma? Answered prayers set into angelic action; that is where the Doubting Thomas came into play. Yes, of course…

Why do people’s stories matter? Why is it important to know people’s stories? People‘s stories matter because their stories tell who they are and what type of person they are, and it tells people how different things can affect one’s story. It is important to know someone’s story because their story can influence people and could give people a different perspective. I am that person who tries their best to work hard in school, to be polite, and to be helpful. I am a nice, helpful, and…

Foster discusses that in prayer people begin to think God’s thoughts after Him, follow His desires, love what He loves, and to will the things He wills (Foster, 1998). Foster discusses real prayer and explains that real prayer does involve a learning process. The first thing Foster points out is that when he was researching prayer in the Bible, Jesus never once mentioned “if it be thy will” when He was praying for others. There…

The Yemeni Culture The first time I went to Yemen, was when I was 15 years old. Living in America my whole life, Yemen was a new world to me. Even though it was my first time there, I felt at home, like its where I belong. But the kids there didn’t agree with me because I was a little different to them. I was American. I was American raised. I was compared to that one spoiled brat from school, even though I wasn’t any different from them, they still resented me. My first week was hard. I was…

There were few things I despised more than indecision. That uncomfortable feeling of self-doubt coupled with the weakness of passivity had rattled me into a self-assured soul. For instance, I’m sure everyone has had a teacher or perhaps a run-in with an online poll which asked your opinion on a book character or your favorite Kardashian. Now the idea of whether Macbeth is a hero or a villain, while be it a puzzling question surely it deserves a solid answer; and while the Kardashians are not…

an eye. Growing up until now,I have a habit of drinking a glass of milk before I go to bed. Unfortunately, I ran pretty low on milk one night: we decided to go to the gas station across the street. Before we started to go, my dad would give us a prayer like he always does before going anywhere. He reminded me to always pray before I go anywhere. We arrived at the gas station to fill up the gas tank and got milk. Then, as we left the gas station and blasted off on a green light, and before we…

My participation in patriotic endeavors. I remember my first participation in a run for cancer called sherry’s run. I did this run for my history teacher Mr. Pruitt because his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. I remember how sad he would be and i even saw him cry once and he is really big scary man. I remember my whole class buying t shirts to help fund some medical bills and then all going to support him at Sherry’s run. Doing something like this and helping someone out made me feel so…

eyes of us humans. My back aches as I get out of bed, but prayer comes first and I push myself to get up. Throwing my habit over my head I begin my day. The grotto is silent, the flowers sway, I pray to the Lord and ask for forgiveness, my sins too much to bear. I pray with all my heart and soul and let God know he is thanked. I pray for my fellow monks as an orange hue takes over the sky. My beloved country is now the focus of my prayers, I pray for good weather, and health for the…

Praying can be a person just talking not to powerful or spiritually just asking God for things. To hold a conversation with God without getting a verbal response from God. According to the bible you should feel free to as the Lord for any request. Public schools had prayer for 200 years before the Supreme Court ruled that state mandated class prayers were unconstitutional.…
