Some great points. I love just talking to GOD. I do start my prayers asking for forgivness and then I just start talking to him. I know I will grow in prayer but it's hard not knowing how to take a scripture and turn it into my own prayer.

I'm having a hard time praying from Scripture. The Study I'm doing with DH's aunt has me writing prayers based on Scripture and for some reason I'm not getting it. Why do we need to pray from scripture and not our own words?

He works in retail, he's great at it. Thank you.

Thank you. Prayer does work, at the christian book supply store he found a book he wants.

I have the worst willpower on earth, so many years I started and stopped trying to lose weight. It wasn't until I had my youngest son that I really started trying but not trying to lose weight. Since Jan 2007 I have lost 58 pounds, very slow. I'm 10 pounds away from what I was at 20 which isn't saying a lot because I have always been fat. What I do is when the kids are done eating so am I( even if 's for two minutes), I snack with them, I play outside with them, and I garden(who knew digging up the earth could help you lose weight, plus the beautiful flowers are inspiration).

This is petty but I do need some prayers that DH finds a job closer to home, right now he's driving 40 miles one way to work. Thank you.

I need to learn how to do better with money. I need people to stop saying they are sorry for my son having Autism, I wouldn't change him for anything. I need a husband who loves God as much as I do.
