Secrets of Prayer
Prayer is an act of communication between a person and God; it is talking to God heart to heart. It is through prayer that man opens the door to let God move and take control of your life. Prayer is also an act of worship to God. The most important purpose of prayer is to adore Him in his unbounded greatness and thank Him for the graces he bestowed upon you. The most usual intention why you pray is to ask for something you desire or need; another is to beg for forgiveness for the sins you committed. Prayer is a powerful tool that could lead to the transformation of ones life to a more useful one.
There are a lot of blessings that you can acquire through prayer not only for your own sake but also for your loved ones and the people whom you prayed for. It is stated in the Bible that prayer brings healing, forgiveness, wisdom, courage, direction, salvation, and even develop your relationship with God. The story of a woman who had completely surpassed her social, family and personal life problems and the story of two missionaries who were saved from the attack of cobra are some of the cases that prayer really has power.
Prayer is not just an ordinary act; it proves that the things that seem impossible happen; the things that people think you cannot achieve, you attain. It only depends on how you believe in the power of prayer.
It does not mean that all you ask for will be granted. God has a purpose why he gives these kinds of responses. You must know how to do your part. God is merciful but the outcome depends on how you work for what you asked, how you exert effort, or how you aspire for something.
Through prayers, God hears more than you say, He answers more than you ask, He gives more than you desire. All He needs is your heart and time. Do not lose hope, have faith and work for it. Give your best in everything you do. God is always willing to listen and to help you. Claim the blessings of prayer; believe that there is power, for with God, all things are possible!

If I Was There
Watch this..it's so nice...nakakaiyak...
IF I WAS THERE
I close my eyes and think about Calvary
I see it happening right in front of me
the back that bore the whip, the head that held the crown of thorns
what if I was there
would I even care, would I even care
or would I only stare
What if I was there just a face in the crowd
would I hide in shame or would I laugh out loud
would I pity Him or think that He is just a fool
another criminal
or just the truth, or just the truth
He is heaven’s jewel
As He marched up that hill
I can picture Him still in my mind
all the blood and the sweat on His brow
as He passed me on by, I could see in His eyes
that His pain was a gift of His love
He was the sacrifice-the Lamb
and He is the great I AM
and He paid the price for me
the price for you and me-you and me
He made the deaf to hear again
He called the sinful man a friend
He walked that hill for me
so my blind soul could see-could see
As He marched up that hill
I can picture Him still in my mind
all the blood and the sweat on His brow
as He passed me on by, I could see in His eyes
that His pain was a gift of His love
I close my eyes and think about Calvary
I see it happening right in front of me
two criminals were there-with one on either side of Him
one hurled insults and one believed-and one believed
which one am I?

Bible Trivias and Games
Can you find twenty books of the Bible in this paragraph?
Someone showed me this story and remarked that there are twenty books of the Bible hidden here. He challenged me to find them. Sure enough, they're here. Still, these things a "lulu" kept me looking so hard for the longest time! Some of you will get bugged down with facts, others are hit by them like they are some kind of revelation or something! You may get in a jam, especially since the names are not capitalized and often leap the spaces between words. This makes a real job to find them but it'll provide the most fascinating few minutes for you. Yes, there are some really easy ones to spot, but don't get the big head, cause truthfully, you'll soon figure that it would take most federal judges, and preachers numbers of hours to find them all. I will admit that it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and that is not uncommon, for there are to be loud lamentations when it is pointed out. One lady says that when she is confronted with puzzles like this, she brews a cup of tea to help her concentrate better. But then this gal's a real pro! (Verbs, nouns, and all that stuff are her thing.) See how well you can compete. Relax! There really are twenty names of Bible books in this story. If you fail to find them there's a penalty! You'll have to go fly a kite, seat on a banana, hum the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," or hose a dog (a mean one). Get to it.
