Megan's prayer: Cheer Up Charlie's "Fly"

I'm beginning to feel a meltdown...

Seems to be something that has plagued my life - meltdowns. Sometimes for valid reasons, sometimes for not so valid reasons. But they seem to happen regardless.

But what if I were to just step back, look at my life, and realize that...

...faith heals

All I need is a little faith. Faith in myself.

Chris' prayer: Cheer Up Charlie's "Fly"

This is everything I feel, this is everything that seems real

But is it? This is something that I seem to be currently struggling with, or, at the very least, contemplating. Is what I feel actually reality, or are my feelings leading me away from reality? Are my thoughts, my beliefs, real? Are they truth? Are they rooted in something bigger than myself? A friend of mine asked me this question in an email today. His question (below) was made in response to a posting I made on my personal blog.

Is your belief your "opinion" - or is it based on something bigger than yourself - like the Church or God?

It's a good question. It's a very important question. And one that I'm not sure I have the answer to, yet. I have to hope that my questions are leading me closer to truth, closer to what God wants. But I have be weary about being mislead, about buying into a truth that is anything but. Fortunately, as the comments and emails about my posting show, I'm very blessed to have some people there who care about where my questions are leading me.

Marie's Prayer: Cheer Up Charlie's "Fly"

This is everything I feel, this is everything that seems real

Right now I am extremely sleep deprived. I haven't slept a good sleep in over a week. So everything I feel right now is right on the surface. I have found that this can be both a good and bad thing. If I feel happy, I tell someone, but if someone's not being nice, I get mad. Oh yes, this has only happened once, but I know I should probably calm down. I find myself in some kind of a dream like state at the present and I am only half aware of what I do. And let me tell you, I don't like it. So now I realize I don't want to be this way when it comes to prayer. I need to be aware of God and what he might be trying to say to me at any time. I also know I cannot go by what seems real if I don't know the whole story. I do not appreciate when others do this and that is why I vow to only act when I know for sure what's going on. This probably won't occur for a while though, because I am not aware right now. But I need to wake up, both physically and spiritually.

Erinnicole's Prayer: Cheer Up Charlie's "Fly"

I'm inviting you to Fly

Not only does God want my success, but He is actually inviting me to fly with Him and be successful. There is fine line between wanting someone to do well and actually assisting them into getting to that point. And for one of the first times ever, I am thrilled to have the help! Flying is everything I want to do. I want to fly above my problems and have the freedom that I am so looking forward to for school next year!! No pun intended, this song was uplifting.

Catie's prayer: Cheer Up Charlie's "Fly"

Gods word will never fail

So many times I forget this. So many times I forget that God will never go back on his word, never go back on his promise, never fail to be there for us. Because so many times I feel like...

I'm beginning to feel a melt down, and the walls are caving in now

It's during these times when I feel like my life is a mess that I forget that God isn't going to let me down and that everything is going to be okay in the end.

So why don't try to open your eyes, and take a look around?

I often remember this during adoration, that I need to open my eyes to see God's love revealed to me, because I'm not going to see it if I'm busy drowning in my own self pity. God's love is all around us, all day, everyday whether we see it or not. So why not open our eyes and our hearts to the amazing, unconditional love God has for us?
