Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Start by simply writing all the prayer requests praying Journal. You can have as much or little, time does not matter. During the day thinking of new topics, you can add an item prayer.

You will never have to worry about forgetting your prayer request.

It is also very beneficial to record all the praises you have for the Lord. It is important for us to thank the Lord for providing for us and meeting certain needs. By writing down praises and making note of when a prayer request is answered you will see just how powerful prayer is and how God is moving in your life.
