what a beautiful thread man. the only thing i would want people to pray for me is my own struggle with faith. i still am unsure about what path i should take. last night i was walking home and a random man came up and said "hey son how old are you?" i said "17" he said he wished he was 17 and "God bless you"...is this a sign?
not a sign, just a random man. also, were you meaning a sign of having faith in god/not having faith in god or being christian/not being christian?
You are already facing God, you just don't know it. God probably, more than anything else, just wants you to see God's hand in things so that you know that all the wierd little coincidences in your life are intentional (meant for you), rather than just patterns pooping up in an uncaring universe.
respectfully i doubt that i do a-levelr religion so i come up against all sorts of arguements for and against the existtence of God-neither side convinced me. i believe faith has to be discovered itself and resent being brainwashed from birth as a catholic
you will find god fro yourself,i myself was bought up ina christina family and it never meant anytihng to me really,i wanted to believe there was a god,but with all the bad tihngs happening to me at the time i found it very hard to believe,it came to a stage in my life where i was dying to live,i didnt want to keep onliving the waqy i was,and i began asking my own questions about god,and finding out for myself
i knbo exactly what u mean...i faced opposition when i fis#rst came to this part of the forums...people were so cruel...nearly gave up but i decided to stay and things have changed...i feel right to be here...i feel so happy to talk to you all and have fellowship with you throught this forum....tis so cool!

Now I don't plan on upsetting anyone here, nor starting any arguments... I just want to make a comment... Why are you spending your time praying, when you could be spending that time fixing whatever problem it is you have? Do you really think that god (if s/he exists, which I highly doubt) even cares about you and your little life (that's not to say that I think your life is little and pointless... but that with the billions of people on the earth, not the meantion all the other planets in this universe, and all the others, you are very little) enough to warrrent doing anything to help you? This is just my own opinion, and please feel free to tell me to get lost, but how about, rather than trying to find your way back to god, you try and find your way back to YOURSELF? I'm sorry, but I will not pray for anyone (and feel sorry if anyone finds the need to pray for me). Now if you have a problem, and it's an area that I'm knowledgable in, then I'll help you, or at least pass you onto someone that can... but I find prayer pointless (again, sorry, but that's just my opinion).
for my initial request, i ask for somehitng that is not that personal for me, but very important to many people at the school at which i attend...o boy has cancer and it was going ok for a bit, but now he has relapsed, and there is a small hope of him living for much longer, i call out to all those who wish for his health, for all those close to him and that he has touched...
my thoughts and prayers are with you and all concerned Burbot. If u need to talk and get stuff of your chest you can PM me. Same goes for anyone. Roly.xxx
pray for me ot find a house, my parents are moving anad not taking me with them,its not for sure yet,but il need somewhere!also that i can get this exhibition for easter on the crusifiction and resurection of jesus,adn also that i find motivation and enthusiasm in college! thank u
very true. i will still pray to god for world peace.i pray that instead of all religions arguing who is wrong / who is right (that everyone just got on together in harmony) i pray that that every single human being lives in peace whilst on earth. i pray for the holy spirit to guide us whilst here on earth.i pray for our guides and angels to take us safely through the spirit realms to meet our maker. i pray for future generations to live in a peacefull non polluted and evil earth . i pray to god that he will not allow satan to corrupt the earth everagain .i pray to god that this prayer can be. amen
the earth will one day die,but those who honoured god and made the best of theyre life with him,will see heaven! although i love the idea of world peace,the world is to corupt and confused that there will always be that spiritual war,because the devil wants conflict,he wants to confuse man!his aim is to kill steal and destroy,but what is totaly great is that a greneration of audacious believers in god are standing strong and making theyre mark on the world and being that guiding light that everybody is searching for
the earth will one day die .? so your suggesting that a new planet will host future generations? or did you mean thatd mankind will become exstinct but mother earth will continue ? ........i am intrigued. peace to all
