All right, MakeYouThink, God is our only weapon... God is the sword. Holy Water and scapulars and such are the finely sharpened blade. Happy?

Although I do a formal prayer, most of my prayers are just talking with Him. God wants us to go to Him and talk to Him even if He knows what we want, need, is going to say etc. God Bless, Meg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to present a different POV, a humble one. I use to be a I prayed for that kind of person. With me saying that, I was saying a statement of pride, saying, somehow, that it was more important that I prayed than the work God did. . . But conversing with God, I couldn't go a day without talking to him, listening to him, loving him, because he is my love.
