> I worked hard all week at understanding and finding a way to reconcile the lesson with my own beliefs. I'm not really as good at prayer as I'd like so I can't say I prayed. But maybe God knows me well enough to recognize my own forms of prayer. With guidance from the Spirit I was able to choose which parts of the lesson to emphasize and was able to put it in historical context.

I am truly blessed to have found a group of people I am so compatible with to join me on my journey of spiritual growth.Thanks for coming back to report. It increases hope and faith to hear of experiences like this. Doesn't the world just neeeed more? Especially now. I think you should go back to prayer. The Lord knows what we need, but won't often grant it to us until we "hunger and thirst" for it. Just keep asking in prayer, and don't forget to close it when you are finished. I like to say it in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen, because when I pray I pray to the Father, but through Jesus (in the name of Jesus Christ). Prayer works. How do you pray?
Anyone?
