Can We Just Pray About It?
High school, annoying people, the entire universe seems to bother us sometimes. I recently had a situation where I was in a room, and I was the only Christian. This totally bothered me… partly because I wanted to hello to each and every person in that room, and tell them about Jesus. Secondly, I felt like if I began to pray, well, I would be the weirdest person in the room. You feel me? Say you're in the exact same situation, what would you do? Would you begin to pray, and then stop because everyone was looking at you awkwardly. OR, would you not do it all in fear of society attacking you. (not literally). Come on guys… we all know the answer to this question. It is not either of the responses I listed. The correct answer is: KEEP PRAYING AND WHO CARES WHAT SOCIETY THINKS!!!! This is a motto all of us Christians should follow. Jesus didn't' stop preaching because society didn't like Him. In fact, Jesus didn't stop preaching… like at all. So, when you are sitting in a room, surrounded by non believers, do what Christ did. Pray, and seriously… don't stop praying. If we stop, then aren't we giving into what society wants from us? Yes, yes we are. Is that what Jesus did? No, no He didn't. As Casting Crowns once said, "we are called to be courageous". This is SO true because that is why we are on this Earth right now. Jesus wants us to be brave, and follow His example He set for us. And if we don't do that, we ARE NOT fulfilling our duty as children of God. I will say no more. Just remember…. PRAY ABOUT IT.
