Prayer

When I first moved back to Indiana, I went through all my stuff I had left here when I moved to Florida. I came across all my journals that I wrote in. I started reading them and saw very quickly how alot of my prayers had been answered. Prayer works!! I know it does cause I have seen it work in my own life and in others that I have prayed continusly for.

Right now as I write this, a dear friend of mine is sitting behind bars probably withdrawing from all the drugs they had taken. I have been praying day and night, calling other people to pray with me also. However in this moment it doesn't seem to be doing any good. I am sure you have felt like that before. I know I have felt like that, but we forget its one HIS time not on my time and it is HIS way not my way.

Naturally, I wanted to find a way to bond them out, I want to help them but in the last six months I learned that when we go through the suffering we learn the truth. God is with us and the only way we learn is through experience. So I am praying that God continues to work on them and that they realize that it can be different and alot better if they choose to.

I know one day i will look back on this moment and see how God had answered my prayers, once again.

Where's the line?

Where is the line at in order to be saved ?

I ask this question because there have been mormons coming to my house. The say that they believe Jesus is God's son and that he died on the cross and rose again. They believe he is the Christ. But is that enough ? Talking with them we came to some disagreements and in the midst of trying to prove them right or wrong I wondered does it matter who is right or wrong. as long as we believe that much does it matter what we believe about heaven or hell or before and after life. Does any of that really matter?
I wonder if it does. But if it does then i want to fight for the truth. If it matters then i want to tell people the truth. But if it doesn't then i will just make sure they know Christ. so where is the line?
