I have become closer to God and Spirit.
I have no one in my life that shows love.
I have suffered trauma and abuse all of my life.
I really don’t trust anyone any longer.
My brother got me out of the Psych Hospital and took me into his house only to verbally abuse me.
I really have been trying to find some peace.
I have reconnected to a Spirituality that I never found in the past.
No matter what happens to me I know that I am loved by God and this is all I need.
Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother.
And my sister and my brother
Lo, there do I see the line of my people
Back to the beginning.
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them
In the halls of Valhalla
Where the brave may live forever.
I once saw all of my dead relatives…I remember seeing my great grandma who was my favorite person in life and many I didn’t know…all feasting and laughing at a gaint table in a huge feast hall…beautiful words by the way…it made me smile…
I can’t imagine life without prayer. My mom raised me up on it and even as I converted to Islam, I still love it and can’t imagine life without it. It’s part of who I am - to be in connection with my Creator. I don’t like to be called religious though, rather I am a spiritual person. Its my way of life.
I don’t get why your so upset religion is a no no…pray all you want just keep it off here…and you can’t say their biased about it…I post anti religious threads they get shut down just as fast…
@shutterbug I fully agree with your quotation about how prayer should be private…I still pray for people on here even though I never talk about it on here usually.
