Well hello everyone, I have another post, much too soon after the sermon on the mount post, and this one is a prayer idea. I am breaking that very rule that I just referenced.

I just feel like I have to share this prayer example. Today I decided to try to catch up on forgiveness files, and pray for my enemies who I don't feel immediate pain from.  I am referring mostly to people of the past, people on the street who have harassed me, people in society who got on my nerves, like why not just send up a sincere request for them to be pardoned and blessed?  It is actually my main piece of advice for other people who feel mad and hurt sometimes, which is probably everyone.  The idea is to pray when you feel okay, so at least the prayer is out there if you ever are in a situation like judgement day where you wish you had forgiven your enemies like Jesus said.

So anyway, I was just thinking about an insurance situation where I am being scammed out of my insurance by a process that was not only unreliable but had multiple problems all along the way. And I was thinking about how some of it wasn't just "bullcrap," but some of the people involved might have been actual "pieces of crap."

Well I guess lost some readers just now, and good for you if you haven't waded into enemy territory so much that you have to call things what they are.  But for those still reading:

I was thinking about that, and formed a request in my mind for God to forgive everyone like that and if there was ever to be some moment where I receive credit for my obedience about forgiveness, for that scenario and reward to instead be traded for good digestion among the suffering all over the world and in the future.  And really to apply it specifically to all bathroom suffering, so people somehow always find that hygiene product when they most need it, or don't have to go to the ER after all, etc.

Well just my meager forgiveness will hardly be a drop in the bucket for the relief that is needed for all of humanity, because everyone at some point gets in a jam of some sort, or eats a prune by accident, or has an accident, or lives in a society where billionaires take away emergency nurse services from impoverished middle schoolers. But what I am saying is can we request a token economy where our patience with bad people is translated into health of a certain nature when people most need it.

Anyway, I have been taught to keep that prayer life to myself, but people become patron saints of things all the time, and why? What was it that made them get their designation? Well this is my prayer category right here, and you can cancel whatever else you had planned. I am praying for the times that any of us forgive the people who treated us like crap, then someone in a health situation gets relief from their similar situation. I mean who knows, it could literally line up exactly, not just as a metaphor, but predestined illustrations that document the exact nature of what people did wrong.

Why it says Jesus is our righteousness

 Hello everyone, I hope that next post about the memes doesn't mess up this blog.  Most posts have some actual theological topics. So here is a new one that I am really happy with. It has to do with the sermon on the mount when people are told to disguise their fasting and hide their deeds of righteousness.

Something in my life that I don't associate with my good deeds and prayer life is my particular set of lifelong family problems. I am talking about my mom, dad, and sister, and maybe my psychosis that prevented other relationships. I have felt like no one will ever understand it, or maybe a few therapy people will.

However, after studying the book of Matthew in a bible study, I think that the way people can't understand it means I don't have to try as hard to hide it as a good deed of forgiveness or patience. Usually when you do something good, like volunteer work, it makes you feel better. But I have this suffering I have to endure, and it just doesn't feel like anything but shameful.  So what does this mean? Perhaps it is a sign that the whole sermon on the mount battle belongs to the lord, and not just in my life, but all God's people.   God gave us a life where we will be triumphant with the good heart he gave us from Jesus Christ's forgiveness.  And we will be successful at sermon on the mount.  It is our destiny and it is already in the fabric of our lives. Sometimes it is so hidden that even we can't see it, much less show the people we would have wanted to impress instead of God.  That would have been wrong, so he rigged it in our favor.  Test out this theory, and see if it doesn't apply to everything.
