I've been praying and studying God's promises for years. The people at church speak anxiously about being with Jesus when they die and go to heaven. When I pray, Jesus is there with me. He answers my prayers and lifts the heavy burden off of my shoulders.
People call me a christian. I feel more like a follower, like one of his disciples.
Do you feel like Jesus is there when you pray?

Sure, absolutely! the word "Christian" has so much baggage attached to it, that the word itself gets in the way. I much prefer to think of myself a a follower of Jesus, or even a citizen of His Kingdom. But, when we chip away all the baggage, the word Christian still applies.

That's a fact, being a christian has baggage attached. We are all sinners. Life wouldn't be much fun if we weren't sinners.

People put Christians on a pedestal so that they can knock them off. I'm starting to get used to that part of being a christian.

I say the lords prayer 3 or 4 times a day and it helps me a lot. The lord always answers my prayers. I can feel his presence when I pray.
