Later in the day, a second verse became clear to my vision. It read: "Pray without ceasing."

I began to see my life and each breath I am given as a living prayer to God and a way to pray for others for our world.

Jesus conveyed the impression of complete love, compassion, kindness, and infinite patience.

No matter what the circumstances, we can be grateful that God fulfills His promises, that our faith is sufficient to sustain us, and that our eternal life is assured.

God doesn't need verbal language for communication.

Churches provide a place of gathering for people who share common beliefs, support and encouragement for each other in faith, a place to find insight into and teaching about God's Word, and they provide a time and place where people can leave the world behind and focus only on their spiritual relationship with God.

They care for, protect, and guide God's people, frequently intervening or bring messages to people from God.
