When I was younger I started keeping a prayer journal, where I would write down my prayers instead of say them out loud. Writing them out makes me think more than just saying empty words, and I can go back and look how God has blessed me.  I really enjoy writing them and I thought I would post one of my prayers from a couple of weeks ago.  This is mainly a blog for me and helping me stay honest and spend time with God.  God, Help me.  I haven’t talked to you in a very long time and I guess I am coming to you because I need your help.  I need a job, one that will allow me to have weekend and nights off.  I know who you are so I know you are capable to grant me this task.  So I am praying to you with the faith that knows that you are greater than anything I can imagine and you are in control of all things.

When I was a junior in high school I was playing in one of my first varsity football games.  We were losing by less than a touchdown with not much time left.  The coach put me in at receiver and the call was a deep route to me.  As I was running my route the ball was thrown to me, and the defender guarding me pulled on my jersey to slow me down.  Obviously this is illegal, so I stopped and threw up my hands to get the call.  The ref never made the call.  Looking at it on film the next day, if I would have kept running I might could have caught the ball and gotten yards to help us get closer, or even score a touchdown.  Instead I stopped my route and complained.  This is a play that I run in my head every now and then and I regret that I stopped my route.  I might not have scored, I might not have even caught the ball, but I will never know because I didn't even try. Many Christians today are paralyzed by things they have done and decisions...
