Where I Stand With God
Lately I haven’t took the time to really show you how good you really are to me. I’ve been putting school before you trying to impress my parents and make them happy when really I should be impressing you. I know that this isn’t a good thing. I’ve been trying to correct my walk with you but I let too much get in the way of that, and that’s not how it should be. God I haven’t forgotten about you at all because I still find myself correcting myself with the things that I do, think, or say towards others. Not only myself but my close friends. Lord I want to do better but it takes more than just saying that I want to do better, I have to show you. I haven’t been reading my Bible like I should and I’m kind of lacking on my prayer life but Lord you know my heart more than anyone else does. So Lord I ask you to change my ways and to correct my mind set, my habits into good habits and renew my heart Lord. Lord I don’t want to keep repenting for the same old mistakes that I keep making. I want to get past this stage so you can use me for the better. Forgive for the sins I have done, will do, and the ones I wasn’t aware of. Please help me to correct my walk with you. God I truly believe that I can do more than what I’ve been showing you. So now I want to take the time for all that you’ve done for me. God if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have such great parents that took me in and blessed me with a safe home and environment. Even though I turned my back on you plenty of times, you were still there when I needed you and I just want to thank you for all that you’ve done for me.

10 Tips to Help Your Prayer Life
1. Choose a specific place to pray away from distractions so you can concentrate. Ringing phones and crying children will sabotage your “quiet time” before it gets started.
2. Pray at the same time every day, if at all possible. Make it part of your regular routine and it will become habit. Write it into your schedule and then treat it just like a daily appointment.
3. Pray out loud. Many people can pray under their breath or in their minds for long periods and still maintain intensity, but for most of us it’s a quick ticket to dreamland. When we pray out loud we have to form intelligent sentences. We have to concentrate more on what we’re praying about.
4. Keep a note pad handy so you can jot down different things that come to mind while you’re before the Lord. Sometimes you’ll get great ideas totally unrelated to what you’ve been praying about. If you jot them down you can quickly get back to the topic at hand without being too distracted.
5. Make a list to keep track of your prayer needs. This can be done several ways. Prayer needs can be listed by category like “Church,” “Family,” or “Unsaved friends.” Or they may be listed by the days of the week. Each day you pray for a different set of needs. You may want to include prayer everyday for a different area of society that has a tremendous influence on the direction of our nation. These seven categories include 1) the church and religion, 2) the family and the home, 3) the media, 4) government, 5) education, 6) business and commerce, and 7) the arts and entertainment.
6. Redeem time for praying out of unused corners of your schedule. Those who have to drive to work can use the time talking with the Lord instead of screaming at traffic (just don’t close your eyes!). Busy homemakers can combine prayer with housework, especially if the task doesn’t require a lot of concentration. Joggers, swimmers and cyclists can use their workout time for prayer. Sometimes my best times with the Lord have been chats during long, early morning walks or jogs along the beach.
7. Change the pace during your prayer time. Include praise, thanksgiving and singing as well as petition. Spend some of your time reflecting on the Scripture, meditating on it and digesting its meaning.
8. Keep a prayer journal. Here are two variations of this idea. The first is to keep track of what you prayed for and when you prayed for it. Leave a space to jot down the answer when it comes. This will help you to keep alert to God’s answer so you can thank Him promptly. Sometimes prayer answers come in the back door and you don’t want them to slip by you. The second variation is to write the entire prayer in your journal. Make it a personal letter to the Lord on a daily basis. Just write “Dear Lord” instead of “Dear Diary.”
9. Pray with someone else. Though some prayers can only be said in solitude, there will be times when you’ll want to join hearts with another person in prayer. If you commit to meet on a regular basis, the accountability can really help build consistency. Such prayer trysts can become powerful, life-changing events.
10. Pray one-sentence prayers. If the thought of laboring over a topic wears you out, pray short, sincere prayers instead. A sentence or two may be all that’s needed to exhaust the topic for you for the time being. If so, just move on to the next item without feeling guilty for your brevity.

6 big Ideas for how to live and be online
Releasing your gifts online is a holy act of worship.
Click on your favorite social media site and it’s easy to dismiss your digital impression as just a blip on the screen. Be warned, however, there’s danger in that kind of thinking. Go too far and the next thing you know, fear and insecurity show up. When you discount your influence online, you deny God’s ability to work through you. Remember, you’re a precious original. He’s made you one of a kind. You’re gifted to do good work and that includes online.
Your consistency, whole-hearted commitment, and dedication to being completely what God created you to be illuminates the way for others. It also builds up and strengthens the whole body of Christ.
And that’s why there’s more
God designed you to compliment and complete others. Deliberately commissioned, you’re here as a member of His body to accomplish His plan for this generation. When you decide to live out your faith online, fully live it out; God’s progress is radically accelerated.
In chapter 12 of Paul’s letter to the Romans, you find the practical action plan for how to live and be. All of it’s applicable to you, online. Offer back to God the best of what He has put in you and your lives individually and collectively become a living sacrifice and a holy act of worship. It’s a beautiful thing and the consequences are eternal.
Paul instructs us how to live and be

1. Submit everything. (Vs. 1,2)
Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering
Embrace what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him
Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking
Fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out.
Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it
2. Celebrate the gifts in others. (Vs. 5,6)

So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ’s body, let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren’t.

3. Give your gifts. (Vs.6-8)
If you preach, just preach God’s Message, nothing else
If you help, just help, don’t take over
If you teach, stick to your teaching
If you give encouraging guidance, be careful that you don’t get bossy
If you’re put in charge, don’t manipulate
If you’re called to give aid to people in distress, keep your eyes open and be quick to respond
If you work with the disadvantaged, don’t let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them. Keep a smile on your face.
4. Keep it real. (Vs. 9,10)
Love from the center of who you are
Don’t fake it
Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good
Be good friends who love deeply
Practice playing second fiddle

5. Find His pace. (Vs. 11-13)
Don’t burn out
Keep yourselves fueled and aflame
Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant
Don’t quit in hard times
Pray all the harder
6. Create harmony. (Vs. 11-19)
Help needy Christians
Be inventive in hospitality
Bless your enemies
No cursing under your breath
Laugh with your happy friends when they’re happy
Share tears when they’re down
Get along with each other
Don’t hit back
Discover beauty in everyone
Don’t insist on getting even; that’s not for you to do
