for my religious friends...

People ask for other to help them pray about a situation because God asks us to. Absolutly nothing wrong with that. Yes, God does have a will but prayer does make a huge difference even though not everything turns out how we expect it to. Being drug to church isn't the end of the world either. You need to go and learn from others and just like going to school, work, or exercising, no one wants to do it. Iron sharpens iron. Just remember that it's not about how much time you spend in church or in the woods thinking about God. All that's going to make a difference is your relationship with God. Don't ever compare you life to another persons because even if someone looks like they have it all together, they may have no relationship with God or they may have a great relationship with Him and they're life may be rough. It's not about being religious at all. God actually told us not to have a religious spirit. If that had been a person saying that for their own good they would encourage us to have a religious spirit.
