I wanted to post this thread especially for the non-believers. Although they will probably not see it often, we can still hope they will. This thread is a reflection of the daily reflections that you can find on upperroom.org, a christian strengthening site. These are prayers that help us in times of need, but are daily and give us something to think about while in our prayer closet.
Here is the one for july 17
ALMIGHTY GOD, Psalm 139 says we are all wonderfully made by you. You created us with a core humanity that apparently survives, even in the midst of horrible violence. Let us celebrate this natural instinct to preserve life, and deeply ponder it, especially at those times when war seems so attractive, or inevitable. Amen.
I encourage you to give time to God everyday. these are useful for your "prayer closet"

7/23
SPIRITUALITY IS NOT NECESSARILY a comfort zone. Most of us, myself included, prefer a spiritual path that builds inner peace, self-esteem, confidence in times of trouble, and so on. We prefer not to embark upon a spiritual path that leads to painful inner change and difficult questions! … The spiritual path certainly leads to positive outcomes, but it can also lead us out of our familiar routine and demand significant changes in our thinking and patterns of living.
- Paul E. Stroble
