Sometimes.....

Sometimes as a Christian the hardest part is listening . In my situation it's because sometimes I don't know exactly who to listen to and I'm a new believer . My biggest struggle now is Prayer , Faith , and dealing with society . I have always been a believer I just haven't always been as close to the Lord as I am now . I recently was baptized before I left school for summer break before the baptismal took place I received a book from one of the local campus pastors . It was a book that you receive when you ask to give your life to Christ . In the book it tells you how to " Properly " pray and what comes first in prayer . It's hard for me because I have always prayed now since I've been baptized its kind of different having structured prayer . Sometimes I get a little thrown off track . The next thing is faith but that's a different can of worms , everyone sees the Lord differently and carries out their faith differently . Religion is a really sensitive thing because everyone is different and no one practices a religion in the exact same way . Some may practice their religion in similar ways but not down to a tee so therefore Faith is just something that you either have or don't have . Dealing with society kind of ties back into the whole " Faith " situation because can sometimes play a role on how much faith you have . Society is forever contradicting things in the bible and the accuracy of everything in Christianity as it does anytime you have belief in something . Some people believe that natural herbs and resources could possibly be a better resolution to health related problems than antibiotics . Of course if you wanted to market that idea and you seen something on TV saying otherwise you'd probably have less faith in that idea . Sometimes you just have to learn to ignore the unimportant things happening in society for your faith to take place . In the end all the struggles that come with religion whatever you may practice are all the same and you have to be humble and hope for the best and not give up . For me I steadily pray for better understanding , wisdom , knowledge , and of course humbleness and strength . Simply because I know I'll make it through and the Lord will not make me endure more than I can handle . God is Love .
