Most Christians pray.
Very few pray the way the Bible actually describes.
The gap between what we do and what Scripture teaches about prayer is wider than almost any other area of the Christian life.

A thread. π§΅
@CristiTilden Middle school is the time to start teaching that, imho, not much before.
NCFCA has a good Apol curriculum that they use with their speakers.
@oliveegger I did! My older one needed gross motor skills help at 4, so we enrolled in gymnastics. He LOVED it and β though he wasnβt interested in team, he stayed in thru high school. Boy was RIPPED. π
@PotluckLauren Time to do some sit-ups. Strengthening your core abdominal muscles will really help with back pain.

@JoshuaBarzon Personally? E bc I want to visit North Carolina (and see if I want to live there someday).
But I have summer vacationed almost exclusively in A for the past 20-odd years, and it is glorious. 10/10 would recommend to families everywhere. π₯°

And it. Is. Gorgeous. π
@crochet_mom314 π€·πΌββοΈ I did. The area under it got soooo full of weeds. Hummingbird feeder maybe β but regular birdseed causes me problems. π«£

@CJ_Haslett@therichnate Admittedly Iβve only been on the US side of the Rockies, but exploring them with my Dad taught me there are several sorts, even if most are evergreen. Idk about Canada though.
@OldHollowTree β(Mug) life chose you, bruh.β
(That was the first thing that popped into my mind hereβ¦ look up Sindhu Vee if you donβt get the reference.)
@farmingandJesus (Twice.)
And after, Elijah was still mostly despondent, until God gave him hope and a friend.
Good reminder for those who are in ministry: doing things Godβs way will often deplete and depress you. Cling to Jesus anyway. π Itβs the only way to make it through. πβοΈ
