Praying In Public

I know for some people when they hear the word pray or praying they think Oh Lawd, the roof is going to cave in. If you think like that, then maybe you are one of many that need some Jesus in your life anyways. I am not perfect and I sure don't claim that I am perfect in any shape at all. I love the Lord and wish that I was serving him better than what I am doing. Anyways, on to the topic.

Several weeks ago, my mom and I went to a place to eat and these 4 guys come in and they sat down at their table and prayed before they ate. During their prayer, my mom and I stopped eating and we had our own prayer along with them. I was telling my mom, I really miss us praying in public, she nodded her head and agreed, I told her, you used to see everyone do it, and she nodded and agreed again. I brought up, how we used to always do it no matter where we were before we ate, and she agreed again.

I say if you want to pray in public, you go right on ahead and do it. If someone don't like it, they can go on and not pay you a lick of attention. It is your right as an american to have that freedom and to show it. I also believe that a lot of people have lost their way in believing what other people have to say on what they don't like seeing. I am sorry, I would rather know that people have their faith and kept it than lost it along the way bc of some ignorant person causing a problem.

I say if that one person sees someone praying and they used to pray themselves, they will find their way again and not let anyone take it away from them again. Praying is what makes or breaks someone. We all pray in our own way, no matter what our religion is or who we pray to. Keep it up, believe how you have always believed, don't loose your way. If you have lost your way and then found your way again, try your best to hang on to it.
