Wow thanks guys, I'll come back and read the last few posts later.:cool::study:

Wow lots of things I picked up in this thread, good one!:study:

(Squeak;29126) monotonous not only to the one praying, but possibly to God as well. Does He really want to hear the same thing over and over everyday without any real thought going into our prayers? Exactly my thought, why does he need to hear them over and over again. I was going to state...

That's exactly how I felt about attending a Catholic mass for(oh say 15 straight years). It was the same prayers, mostly the same songs sung every week...the only thing that was interesting was the 10-15 minute sermon that the priest preached towards the end of mass.And I felt that way when...

(Alanforchrist;29040) I might be able to help you if you tell me what you find hard to believe. Thank you I appreciate it. Didn't I say what I find hard to believe in my post?(post#3):confused:

I agree, just pray for proof of God's existance and I can almost promise you that he'll answer and show you that he exists in some way, but you have to be sincere about it!.I will pray for you.

(His By Grace;28708) Please accept my apology if anything I said offended you. I want you to know that was not my intention at all. I just wanted to help. I'm truly sorry if there was something that struck you wrong. I hope something I said was helpful. No offense taken, thanks for your help!

(His By Grace;28701) It sounds like you may need to nail down some beliefs by getting to know what the Bible has to say- not me or anyone else, for our words are powerless to save you. I am in the process of getting to "know what the bible says" ...what other people say is just my chosen...

(followerofchrist;28600) My post was obviously ignored hahaha I wasn't finished with my post yet, I have a tendency to make additions to my post quite often

(Faithful;28601) Without faith we cannot please God, does meditation for the list of things you have listed show faith in God to keep you in the world or faith in the things of man? I do have faith in God and I also believe that he gave us the capability to heal ourselves, AND I also believe he...

(Faithful;28593) Do you trust God for your health or meditation? The world needs meditation because they do not have the true life, Jesus Christ. What about both?:pI believe God gave us a brain and WE have the capacity to heal ourselves, some people have actually healed themsleves from disease...

(Faithful;28593) Psalm 103. I am the God who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases. So which of the above does he need meditation to do?Zechariah 4:6 (King James Version) 6.Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by...

(Mighty Bear;22684) How can the Sun, Moon and the Starscome into being? How can those without lifecreate life?Church of Love in Jesus Christhttp://christiansite.multiply.com/journal :amen:

Faithfull, there are many many benefits associated with meditation...there is always time for prayerandmeditation. What benefits I read on meditation is astounding...It lowers oxygen consumption. It decreases respiratory rate. It increases blood flow and slows the heart rate. Increases...

(kriss;28580) I think that perfectly fine to set your mind toward God with a prayer then empty your mind of worldly thoughts. Sometimes we might even learn a truth by listening rather than asking. I see nothing wrong with it reguardless. If you are able to function more clearly in your daily...

(followerofchrist;28566) Haha your right he is funny. I like the woman-ese one. I just watched it, very funny

(kriss;28577) In fact this puts me in mind of a verseMat 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Now this does not mean we are to go into a...

(kriss;28575) God says to be quite in prayer I think this could be called meditation I personally see nothing wrong with the practice of quiteing ones mind. I think most all deep prayer happens when we quite and clear our minds of the busy world. You might say a prayer first and meditate on the...

(Faithful;28573) If we have the peace and Joy of the Lord in us, why would we need to meditate? I find Christ is our peace he is the one who helps me find peace through the Father giving us hope.The idea is to remain in the Spirit at all times.Faithful. Makes sense, I'm working on it, thank you...

I find that I receive many benefits from the practice of meditation, but some Christians condemn it or claim that it's part of satan's plan to deceive, i.e by quieting the mind and allowing the potential for negative spirits to enter us? Does anyone here meditate? If not, what do you think is...
