Prayer was a given - Jesus didn’t use the word ‘if’, He said ‘when you pray’. To Him, believing in God and praying went hand in hand, to not do it would be farcical, like saying you’re a runner but never going on a run, or saying you’re a cinephile having never watched a film. To call yourself a Christian is to have a relationship with God, and to have a relationship with God is to pray. To pray is to have faith; to pray is to trust that there’s a being out there so powerful He can create a world with just His words, and yet so loving that He chooses to listen to you; to pray is to jump into His arms and give Him all that’s on your mind, even the things you can’t give to anyone else, and to believe that He cares enough about you that He’ll hear you and answer,; to pray is to trust that the answer probably won’t be what you expect. Our trust is what opens our hearts to Him - trust, even when your prayer time still feels lonely, even when you feel like He can’t hear you, when it feels like everything is falling apart around you. It’s through those times, through persistent prayer, that our faith is able to grow and mature, that we are able to have our hearts purified, and able to love Him in new ways. (taken from "Hello?

The most pivotal relationship in most people’s lives is that between a parent and child. It’s the thing that changes you most, realigns your values, changes the way you look at things, and changes your life in such a monumental way that your life becomes two sections of ‘before kids’ and ‘after kids’. This relationship isn’t only one way - the bond between a baby and its parents, or the people raising it, is unmatched by any other relationship formed. The child is totally reliant on its caregiver, unable to offer anything of value, and yet the parent has a love for their child which is stronger than any other love felt before, an unconditional love which is happy simply just to be in the presence of the child, able to transform any mood into pure elation any time they are together. That bond, that closeness, that feeling of love is purely natural - it's the way we were designed to give and receive from our first parent, our heavenly Father... (taken from "Hello?
