Foundation

One of the most known stories of the bible is the two men who built houses. One built his on rock and the other on sand. A storm came the rock house stayed the other was blown away. One had good foundation one had bad foundation. So what does foundation have anything to do with our lives? The foundation on a house keeps it upright and sturdy. It is the anchor in our life. Without an anchor we would crumble. Everyone has some sort of foundation but it matters were it is. Were should you're foundation be? I have a feeling you know what I'm going to say. God is you're perfect foundation in you're life. He will hold you in place for ever and ever. But how many people will actually build their life on God. There's a lot of options out there and it's hard to choose. Each one saying it's the best. Some people say they'll build their life on God but they lie and build it some where else. Here's a fact. God is the lone rock in a sea of sand. God is the only foundation that will hold. Anywhere else is sand. Bad foundation. Whole lot easier right? Probably not. Satan is the worst foundation but he knows how to disguise that fact. He will lie about it and say it will lead to life. He says it will give you benefits. The fact is satan doesn't give you anything that God can't give better. So why would anyone follow him? Satan is a coward but he is smart. He is not smarter than God the only reason he ever wins is because earth lets him win. He knows when to attack and when to comfort you. I thought I was the strongest Christian teen I could be. I was utterly wrong. I fell into a pit of despair and fell into temptation. It was an entire process to get out but it made me realize that I underestimated the devil. Do not make the same mistake as I did. Realize that the devil can have no power in you're life only if you let him. Some people will build there foundation on two different places. They think that as long as they have some good foundation they'll be ok. But they're wrong. It's actually the other way around. Only a little bit of bad foundation is needed to bring a building a down. You must put you're full faith in God to keep a good solid grip on life.

Prayer

When you go to a pastor or any one thats a Christian and ask for help with a problem they'll most likely say why don't you pray? The problem is that a lot of people don't know how to pray. Why? Because it's hard to talk to someone who isn't right there in front of you're face. Plus God communicates differently than a person would. So many teens try and find it silly or weird and bear the force them selves. So how do you talk to God. Sometimes you don't have to say anything because God already knows. It's always good to ask God for help you're self but if you don't know how to listen. Listen for God to speak. Try to read the bible or take note of things that are related to you're situation. He might come as a friend who went through the same thing you did or a speaker or even a song. God can show himself to you in any way he wants so you must be ready and pay attention. You don't have to totally go out of you're way and lock you're self in a room until God answers in fact God won't answer you at all then. God wants you up and about in the world making it a better place. If you really feel you have to pray try this. 1. address the problem and ask God to help you. 2. Believe that God is going to fulfill his promise. 3. Be at peace knowing God is there. What happens a lot is people will pray and then it won't work and they'll think that it's a bunch of crap. God answers every prayer but sometimes in different ways. We might not always understand but thats the way it is. If you pray for something but nothing happens it may be because if he fulfilled it to you're way you would get no good out of it. God answers it by giving you the best possible situation that will turn out in you're life. One last thing God never answers a prayer by punishing you. God does not punish. If you neglect God will let the devil do his work in you're life. Sin unfortunately is natural in this world and happens to good people but do not give up on God because the hope awaits on the horizon.
