Marques - Thanks for sharing. I always thought of praying/talking or listening to God on bended knee's was an outward expression of what really is happening inward. Me acknowledging God as Lord and humbling my self in his presence to speak with Him with what ever that prayer time was about. I agree with you and know that praying/talking/listening to God can certainly be done no matter the position of our body.
My job requires me to work with and be around the same 4 to 5 men for 28 days at a time. Naturally we learn about each others families and the good times and troubles that come along in each of our lives. God always comes into the picture and conversation at some point during the 28 day hitch. I used to not have a problem talking about the Bible, religion and God but lately, I discovered that I don't really have the conversation in me to share and find it best to keep quite.
Arc - A big hug to you, right back atcha!
I'm sure you are happy that God only gave you Peace of mind’ instead of a piece of His mind. Emotionally speaking, I'd say disconnected best describes where I am.
GaryK - I believe you have nailed it! I took your advice and did re read the section of Part X11 you suggested. Read it before at least twice but, got a lot more from this time around. I too have been angered at God and had unbelief like - “ I can't believe you are gonna do me that way, show me a thing or two here and there and then kick me to the curb, leave me hanging like this” If only I had known that I am in Spiritual Prison it would of helped with the anger a little but, I know now! Thanks for sharing, visiting and writing me while I'm serving time.
Felix - Honesty is the best policy - That is where I'll make my stand on almost everything. Being open with honesty, that is a whole different ball game and can and has put me in some predicaments in life that give a new and sometimes not welcome understanding of being caught between a rock and a hard place. Honestly,
lol, I don't recommend open honestly, keep it inside sometimes!
Dave - Amen! To everything you said and no, I don't find insult with anything you said, quite the opposite. Thanks for sharing. Looking back is fine unless an angel tells you not to do it. Genesis 19:17
Looking back is a good way to know and remember where you came from but, if you have only traveled a short distance; no need to look back yet because its all still very close to you.
Lauriellen - Ain't God Great!
It just don't seem like it all the time, you surely know that old saying “ God is Great, ALL the time” , it just rolls of the tongue so easily but in reality, it gets to be NOT so great to us sometimes.
Judy - AMEN! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks to everyone for contributing. The advise and encouragement you all have shared is PRICELESS to me. Next time you all come to visit me here in Spiritual Prison, bring a pack of smokes. I don't smoke but I might could trade’em for a sandwich or a snack cake.
