It was time to sleep, but i couldn't. i don't know why. Im truly lost. Actually if people know my background, they will unterstand my situation. So, I took my BIBLE and began to read. The first verse that God show was...
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
Having God with me where ever I go is comforting. I know that He will watch out for me, and I realize now that He always has been there, even when I didn’t have much to do with Him. Being safe is just one aspect of always having Him near, it also means that in addition to watching out for my well being, He is there when I am faced with temptation, and then it is up to me to make the right choice. Watching over me does not mean He will keep me living right, doing that is my part of the bargain.
The second verse"
9 And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” Acts 18:9-10
Actually, I still have trouble speaking about my faith. Oh sure, I have this blog, but how many people know about it. I don’t advertise it too much. Well before this I decided to share with my friends about my faith, but up till this moment, I haven't started anything, except via this blog. I hesitated, and realized that my hesitation was because I was worried about what some people would think about my faith. When I got to this scripture for today, it was an awakening. If my friends had issues with it, then did I really want them as friends?

Power of Prayer
Just a simple thought that i wanna share with all......
And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Mark 11:25
Prayer can make great things happen, as long as you believe in what you are asking for and as long as you have forgiven those who have wronged you.
Praying is something I need work at. I tend not to ask because I feel like God is doing a pretty good job at watching out for me. If I do pray, it tends to be for others who need it more than I. Even with all that, I learned that my prayers will be helped along as long as I have forgiven people who have done me wrong.
