Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Sher, As wonderful as the serenity Prayer is, I have to PRAY myself. I don't feel like I empty my heart and soul by repeating a prayer.. AND I don't even know why I am telling you this..LOL Just want everyone to know It is so easy to pray on your own. Love Ya, Peggy "Worry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up." Brud... I'll bet you're saying the Serenity Prayer about now...All this stuff we must put up with is so tiring.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Sher/Peggy No different than preferences in church services. While some like the liturgy and formality of certain religions and some of the same prayers and readings at each service others are more comfortable with a less rigid and more varying service. Also within any service some members read louder or sing stronger and others sit or stand more quietly, yet they both may be participating and experiencing at the same level, just in their own ways. We all pray differently and for different things. We even define prayer differently. The same religion is different in one way or another to every person who believes in it as we do personalize it. > > > Brud...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Oh Peggy, I agree completely. And I do pray. I use only the little Serenity Prayer by repetition 'cause it's so quick and says so much. You're right, it's easy to pray on your own! Love ya too.
