Aside from others praying for you, you should also pray. Prayer is not just about the emotions we feel during prayer. Sometimes we only pray when we feel it, or when we feel happy or when something good happens to us. We should also pray when we DONT feel it or we feel dry. The most powerful prayer is when we don’t feel like praying. It is the time that we show to God that despite and in spite of our dispositions, we are ready to deny ourselves of our emotions and we continue to converse with God.

i do believe in prayers but then… dumating yung point na when i needed God the most na yung pinagdadasal ko para sa ibang tao na walang dumating na help and i realize may favoritism kaya sa Diyos? hangang sa ayoko na magdasal ayoko na magsimba….maybe what i need is someone to pray for me yung malakas sa kanya ….i’m so lost…..

Ako rin naniniwala sa power of prayers, lalo na ngayon.

Hindi ko maintindihan yang mga Atheists na yan at wala akong balak intindihin sila.

I totally agree prayer is the most powerful weapon we have. I've already proven this when my Dad was abducted by the NPA where we we're living in Sariaya. Grabe, among the 4 kidnapped only my Dad survived ! I just prayed for their lost soul and for their family. hazes latest blog entry..the Amazing R !

CS Lewis is the author of Chronicles of Narnia right? I love his work. Actually Harry Potter was influenced by CS Lewis while CS Lewis himself was influenced by Tolkien who is the author of Lord of the Rings. According to CS Lewsi autobiography he needed a story that would christianize the myth of Medieval England. And thats how he came up with Narnia

I LUV THIS TOPIC.
“kaya when I was in the CR this morning I said again a solemn spontaneous prayer for that intention.”
Sasabayan ko to by telling a little bit about one Christian hero. Si C.S. Lewis lang naman. Let’s admit it: among our atheists fellow citizens (ayaw din kasi nilang tawagin na brothers and sisters. bakit, may common father ba, kung sila ang magtatanong), the denial of God is always coupled by an intellectual arrogance. Everything springs from Reason. What’s so mysterious about those beads running through your fingers? Ipaparada ko ngayon si Lewis kasi baka naman sasabihin na karamihan ng mga believers, mga intellectually backward na parang mga kalsada ng Metro Manila, childishly subscribing to some set of primitive beliefs that the Cartesian modern world has already outgrow. Kung sa tingin nila mas matatalino pa sila kay CS Lewis, ewan ko na lang. Lewis, as most of us know is a Classic and English scholar from Oxford, a theologian, philosopher, fantasy, science fiction and children’s book writer. His world was between Oxford and Cambridge, writing and lecturing, and even chaired the Department for 33 years mantakin nyo yan mga atheist. Just like most Filipino atheists or agnostics who received some kind of solid religious education perhaps from the parochial school or parishes, Lewis had the same. Then on he went to a boarding school and still convinced of his faith. But eventually, as he moved to higher logical training like being enrolled in premier universities here and abroad, he lost his faith. He became an atheist. There you go, one of the most celebrated intellectuals of the 20th century – an atheist. But one day, he boarded a train, only to get off on the wrong station. Across him were the towers of Oxford. He was so disgusted to see the line of mean shops on the street. He realized he was traveling on the wrong direction even as a scholar of high regard. His conversion story began from this point, first into theism and eventually into Christianity.
But related to Bluep’s experience i quoted above, here’s an interesting quote from his experience proving that the Divine can manifest Himself even in the most trivial places and event such as a lost money or CR. It was a trip to Whipsnade Zoo:
“When we set out I did not believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and when we reached the zoo I did. Yet I had not exactly spent the journey in thought. Nor in great emotion. ‘Emotional’ is perhaps the last word we can apply to some of the most important events. It was more like when a man, after long sleep, still lying motionless in bed, becomes aware that he is now awake.”

Ito lang muna. Hindi ako nang-aaway ha!
