I used to watch short stories on youtube and my son said I shouldn’t be watching or listening to these stories. I can actually see myself in some of them and think what would happen if I could rewrite my story and make people who think they know everything about who they believe I am. 

**side note: Here are a few of what I call positive stories (not all I see myself in them, don’t think I saved those, but a few I liked) and thought I would rewatch again one day.

Then I started rethinking about how I am praying. I have been looking at my purple and white journal, where I started taking notes as I study the bible, and realized I am not praying correctly or enough.

I was about to turn youtube off when I noticed a video that caught my attention and these are truly positive words to listen to.

After looking/listening to a few of these made me remember something I read and have been taught by my late pastor and know about the power of words. I wish I could remember off hand where in the bible it says this, but its not hard to look it up.

{} https://bible.com/bible/114/col.4.6.NKJV   Colossians 4:6 NKJV

[6] Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.{}

{} https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.12.36.NKJV    Matthew 12:36 NKJV

[36] But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.{} 

{} https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.10.17.NKJV  Romans 10:17 NKJV

[17] So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.{} 

{} https://bible.com/bible/114/2co.5.7.NKJV  II Corinthians 5:7 NKJV

[7] For we walk by faith, not by sight. {} 

{} https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.2.17.NKJV  James 2:17 NKJV

[17] Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.{} 

The words you say and believe are powerful, if your faith is strong. It’s not what you say, but how you say it? I know I have prayed for good health, a clear mind, and a better job. One would think that’s enough, but it isn’t even close enough. It isn’t what you pray for, but how you are praying. 

**side note : I was trying to calm my nerves as I  typed and was starting to get overwhelmed. The words in my head started to blur and when I had to bite my finger, because I wanted to scream. I clicked on this video and that helped calm me down. Then I heard something within this story, I had just written, and that’s why I am adding it here: https://youtu.be/trtH-QanexA?si=UjB-yF0F-ZQ9iN1j

I was/no I am going to start a new prayer book. This book will give detailed information about what I want, how I believe I will achieve those goals, and a bible verse to go along with each goal.  

**side note : I haven’t decided if I will post what my new book looks like, but this time I am writing for myself and not for anyone else. I did give an idea of what it will look like and if it will help someone else take a step to move forward, I am Happy……………
