Our Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
in earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,

the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever.

Amen

What's happening, mate? I'm interested in your thinking...

[StillFingers]

Read your post, then read your profile, you mentioned that you died but here you are posting, offering up a prayer for this wonderful forum...is all okay, do you need to chat, get something off your chest...or was it just thank you?

Keep talking, it's of most import to manage living life, SCIed or not...and thanks for the kind thoughts!

Thanks Mr TT

I went to think tank science museum..over half our mind is taken up when we think of faith/spiritual thought.

a small parts taken up by love, fear, upset

i get a feeling your like me, you aint got your belief to get up to heaven for your own doing, you do this just because its who you are and what you do..this is the best and genuine kind of faith i believe. Its not fake or phoney then with another hidden agenda

Some people say 'i keep me fingers crosed for you, 'i send me best wishes to you', and you say your spending your time praying for us.

All ways are lovely.

Me a believer thank you and why ya there in that place, say thankyou to Him for sending you mine and other believers way.

He never gives us more than we can cope with and another is sent our way just when we need them the most.
Well thats what i believe. And i share with you as you shared with me and us :-)

Thanks, Tex, you have a big heart.

It reminds me of a joke I heard once and I'm not good at telling jokes, but...

A dam breaks and this town is flooded so high that this guy is up on the roof of his house praying for rescue. Some people in a boat come by and invite him into their boat and he politely tells them "No thanks, I'm waiting for God to save me."

Three times a boat comes buy offering to save the man and he refuses because he is sure since he has been praying so hard that God is going to save him.

Finally he cries out to God and says, "God, why have you forsaken me?"

The clouds rumble and he hears a great voice that says, "Why are you still on that roof? I sent you three boats!"

The point of this is that Gods' thoughts are not our thoughts, that He is beyond what we can comprehend and sometimes he chooses to answer prayer in a different way than what we thought. The more we spend time with him and learn to know him, the easier it is to recognize His work. And what He does is never a single isolated thing, it is always a work to benefit many and you can already see it in this thread, Tex. One act of faith has blessed us and continues to grow, it has brought thoughts of Him into our minds, it has brought peace and it has brought joy in sharing.

Go, Tex!
