And as I grew up I did not see much behind it all, there was not a reason for me to believe except for faith and the fact that I was scared. Before a test that I was nervous about I would just say: "Dear God please let me get an A on my test today" More often than not I got the grade, but before long I realized it was me who got the grade. I learned the material and studied for it. My belief in God just gave me the ability to go into tests with a better mindset. Then my dad started experimenting with spirituality, it raised a lot of questions, questions that I couldn't answer, and after that I took the Bible off my mantel. This isn't to say I am spiritual, I really just don't know what to believe. |
I liked your simple prayer and the fact that the prayer got you in a better mindset - i think that's huge.
I encourage you keep looking into the Bible - start with Luke (though most Christians would say, John). I love the book of Luke - the best of the gospels imo. When you are reading Luke, be focused on what Jesus teaches and look into his actions. Dont need to concentrate on the miracles but the teachings that follow the miracles. Also, see how people responded to him vs. the religious people.
