I find that one of the hardest things to do as a Disciple of Christ is to witness to non believers, I never know what to say to them to get a conversation going. This morning I read my daily devotional and it told me to go to a web page (link listed below) so I went on the site before I went on my way to church. On this page is an interesting video of a dude telling you the best way to share your faith. I thought that this was very cool and I plan to use these tips in the future. If you scroll down after the video it will give you tips and pointers on how to address people of different beliefs including Muslims, Jews, Agnostics, Atheists, and a bunch of other types. I encourage you to click on this link so that you can become inspired like I was. Hope this helps you out. :)

Praising Before Asking
A lot of believers ask this same common question "How do I pray?" well the truth is that you have that very answer in your bible in Matthew 6:9-13 Jesus tells his disciples how it is that your prayers should sound this prayer is known as the lords prayer and is quite a simple guideline once you get the hang off it. In case if you are not familiar with this prayer Jesus Say..
"Our Father in heaven,
"Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one."
Notice how Jesus says after addressing God as the heavenly father "Hallowed be your name" he is basically saying "Hey God your name is so holy" this is Jesus' way of giving up a word of praise to the big guy. In the same way you should say a word of praise to God before you ask him for anything. For a good list of names of God click on this link http://smilegodlovesyou.org/names.html, God wants you to praise him because he is the most worthy of it. I feel that when you praise God your on a new level of understanding with God because praise can also help you comprehend his awesome power.
When you pray remember to always put God's will before your own wishings and wants. Even though God knows what your thinking before you ask him for anything it's always good to tell him what you need believing and he will meet them in his way. Jesus says in the barren fig tree story Mathew 21:22 "And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." Have faith dearly loved Child of God and he will bless you.
If you want any advice or have an idea for my next post please leave a comment and I will try my best to help you out. Thanks for reading. :)

Welcome Notes
Hello there, my name is Emily Reeve and this is my first blog post ever! I am actually very excited to be doing this and I hope that your glad to have found this blog of mine, I think that we are going to have a lot of fun.
Alright to get started I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself, I became a christian when I was three years old and have been living my life for Christ since then. Right now I am in Grade 11 and I am 16 years old. I guess you could say that I am a fangirl, I mean I do love Superheros, Doctor Who, Merlin, and Sherlock but above all that I am a fan for Jesus my Lord and Savoir.
The purpose of me righting this blog is to spread the news of God and let you hear some more truths that will help you in your faith. To me truth is one of the biggest things that the world needs because a lot of what this world believes is lies. It's hard to tell what is true sometimes but with God's guidance your eyes will become open.
John 8:31-32 says "So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
God Bless <3
