In Matthew 6:7-13, Jesus said:
“When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! Pray like this:
Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us today the food we need,
and forgive us our sins,
as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
And don’t let us yield to temptation,
but rescue us from the evil one."

I have a hard time witnessing to two friends: one thinks she's a Christian but has all secular beliefs( abortion, gay rights,etc) and when I told her that they were wrong, she asked,"why? Because it says so in the 'bible'?" and another who is Hindu. I feel God wants me to witness to her (instead of any of my other friends) because I've known her longest and have been her friend longest. She gets Christianity sort of, but she needs to get it's the one way. Also, she may get disowned, I've heard, if she accepts Christ. The third request I have is boy troubles. I feel flattered when guys like me and need help finding happiness in God, not in guys liking me. I also want to be prayed for, as for any ther young woman that isn't happily married, that we will all find men who love us ( I know I'm far from that, but I just want to say) and also that my uncle will find a special someone that won't treat him bad or drop their engagement.

My math teacher is in a very bad situation. He got sick last week with Swine Flu, then it turn to Pneumonia which turned to double pneumonia. He is currently in the hospital ICU- critical condition. Strong christian students in my school get together in little groups everyday and pray for him. Please help us pray for his recovery and that he may be healed.

ive got alot of things that need to be prayed for so this'll be a long entry...
Im on the speech & debate team at school. this weekend is the annual ternament that my school host every year. this year we hav 1/3 of the judges we need. so what? Well, my coch has been telling us that each one of the team members need 10 ruonds of judges, wich means i need at least 8-10 judges. Everyone i know that are old enough to do it, that means if your oiut oh high school you old enough, hav so meany reasons why they can't do it. for examples... they can't do it because their working, they need child care wich means they need to get a babysitter (& guess who their babysitter is? me), not to minchin the "i don't wount to do it becuase i'd be wasting my weekend", but who can blame them? i don't wuont to be at school for an exrtra day untill 10 or 11 at night, yes that late. i need judges becuse i hav NONE. just be praying that God gives my coch understanding &that He'll give favor with her.
also my #1 crush, you kno the kind that are the first chioce for a boyfriend, is moving to Europe or Slovockia becuase his family are missionaries( idk how to spell that cuontry) it's near Russia. His sister & i are good friends & we are good friends. im going to miss them sooooo much! the next time i'll be able to see them is in 2-3 years! that's a LONG time to be waiting to see your close friends in person. be praying that God sends His angles ahead of them to prepare their way &that He prtoects them. ill miss them soo much!
My bff is moving to flordia after Christmas. im going to miss him soooo much too(yes my bff is a guy)!He's name is Dalton & ive tried, for aruond 2 1/2 years, to get him saved. Ive whitnessed to him soo much & now he's laeving to Flordia. this leaves me with quetions like, "why is Dalton moving?" & "is this God or is it the devil trying to descorage me?" im soo bumbed to see Dalton & his sister move away. i have no clue if they'll ever come back. im soooooooo sad. please pray that Dalton gets saved. He really needs God. i resently gave him a bible & a picture of me &when i did he was soo excited. i was very happy that i gave him somthing that he'd be entrested in. We like eachother but considering he's not saved not to minchen he dosen't hav the best reputation out there we never had. He knows im interested in a good christion guy.(sadly my type is moving to Europe on the other side of the earth). but it's been harder latly but im standing my gruond & not settling. Please pray Dalton gets saved &that i don't settle for less then what im looking 4 in a guy.
And last but least there's a guy i have in my study hall. his name is Caleb & he told me he liked me. well,he's one of Dalton's friends &i developed aliitle crush on this dude. He lives near me & is really nice. but sertainly not someone that's good for me. but i CAN NOT! AT ALL! GET INVOLVED WITH THIS GUY! he's an acquentance & dosen't need to be anything more. I told him that we cuold only be friendly aquentances but idk if he got it. he's been really forward lately, asking me what im doing after school. idk why this guy intersts me but just pray that all these feelings for him gose away. just pray that god gets this kid out of my life but in a peacefull way w/o hard feelings.
see i told you this was a long entry.
well thx tons & ill be checkin' in on u all.
T hx again
:)

Hey,
Ive kinda been following the prayer board and such. And this is for Shelby. Im praying for you, i just wanted you to know. I have suffered with depression and i can tell from reading your posts that you also struggle with it. The hardest thing about depression is that you cant talk about it. Talking about it feels like the hardest thing you could ever do. But i found that when i finally told someone i felt much better. Find a friend and tell them the truth. Tell them you are the girl in the story. I wouldnt confide in this boy that you seem to like so much. Find someone who has known you a long time. It will help. Give it all to God.It wont just go away, i still struggle with it. But dont be afraid to show how you are feeling, dont be afraid to be emotional
I hope this helps
