Praise and Prayer

Philippians 1:9-And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge nd depth of insight.
I want to encourage you all to really pray, talk to God. Praying doesn't mean that you must use "thee" and "thou" or any special languauge. It's a conversation with the Creator, like you'd have with a friend. It's also not just asking God for stuff. In fact, one book puts it something like, Stop asking what God can do for us but instead ask what can we do for You? It's confessing, just chatting, thanking, being silly (if you want), praising, and asking for things. It's cool to ask God for things but remember that the God who can give you want you want also needs praise. Psalms talks a ton about praise! Right now you can just post praises and prayer requests that you have. Then we can all pray for each other. We might not know each other but in the body of Christ, we are all one. Our differences don't matter anymore because we aren't united by those. God longs to have a relationship of love with you!
Pslams 108:3-4- I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, higher than the heavens, your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

I am glad that Jesus never changes! That He's always the same! For prayer, please pray for my trip to Italy. I leave today. I am happy my parents let me go!
