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.

When you are doing God's will everything seems to happen without much effort or many obstacles.

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

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.

What I find more remarkable, however, is how readily many people in our society believe outlandish and unsubstantiated urban myths and conspiracies (Pop Rocks and Coke, JFK assassination, AIDS is man-made, etc.), yet disregard thousands of personal and consistent testimonies of miracles and near-death experiences from people throughout all cultures and religions.

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

The last verse that became clear to my vision that day was this: "Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God's in Christ Jesus for you."
