Pray About Everything

We have all made mistakes. Have you ever bought something that you later regretted buying? Have you ever said something that you later regretted saying? Did you ever waste your time watching a horrible movie? We make decisions every day. Some seem virtually insignificant. We don't want to bother God with this or that and we think that we got it handled. By nature we are strong willed, self willed, egocentric, and self reliant. We naturally don't want to wait for an answer from God we just go along merrily and make a lot of false assumptions.

Faith, Hope, and Love  Have you seen the news headlines lately? They are looking pretty bleak. Here is just a small sample from this past week; Girls rapist invited to dinner then tortured to death  Mom arrested for disturbing Facebook photo   Police; Teen planned slaughter at school    Terminally ill woman ends life at 29, says "pay it forward"  50 Women and children dumped in a well and ISIS massacres 322 Sunni Tribesman  Courtesy of World Net Daily New York’s Highest Court Unanimously Rules in Favor of Incest ‘Marriage’ Between Uncle and Niece Well I could go on and on but you get the point. I actually still get shocked by some of the things that the news is reporting because its so gruesome and sick. Our country was not this way five years ago. Our society is quickly escalating into deeper wickedness, hopelessness, corruption, greed, lovelessness, and lawlessness.  But God  God is in this world and he uses people like you and me and display his goo
