Prayer...

I was listening to the radio tonight and the host asked us to pray for someone, and it made me realize that too many people take prayer too lightly. A lot of people just say "Pray for me" or "I'll be praying for you" and think nothing of it. They think that it's just kind of something you say. But it's for real. It can make a huge difference. Praying is huge. We're talking to God or asking Him for a favor. That's nothing to sneeze at. Even those who don't pray sometimes ask people to pray for them. They think "Well, it can't hurt." And sometimes that's what we think too. When we pray, we are having a one-on-one conversation with our Creator. So next time you pray, don't just pray because you feel like you have to, because you feel like you might as well, or just because you want things. But do it because you want to glorify God in everything that you do.

Christian Music...

I was listening to Way FM today and I realized that no music compares to Christian music. When you get a shout-out from a friend on the radio you freak out, right? Well Christian music is the only kind of music that is constantly talking about you. It is the only truly uplifting kind of music there is. It is always talking about God and His plan for our lives. What does other music sing about? Certainly not that. Christian music can teach us lessons, keep us strong in our faith, or even just preserve our minds from worldly things. It's the only genre that can help us in the long-run. It's as if listening to any other kind of music is just a waste of time. I'm not saying that I think it's wrong to listen to secular music, I'm just saying that we shouldn't expect to get anything out of it. As much as I love Frank Sinatra, he'll never tell me what I truly need to hear.
