If you've never done it before, where do you start to learn to pray? Prayer isn't about saying special formulas, it's about being real about your situation and letting God listen in. In my squidoo lens given at the bottom of this post you will find the first prayer is very simple in its approach to God. God wants us to be honest and truthful with him about how things are going for us. He doesn't want long words and flowery phrases, he wants you to tell it like it is. Tell him how you feel, when you can tell no one else. He will listen and in his own way answer, but you may have to wait a while and trust. Some of my prayers have taken decades to be answered,and sometimes in strange ways, but I am happier now than I have ever been. A prayer for every day
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
