Yeah, all the time...

- when something good happens
- when something bad happens
- when I eat
- when I need some direction, etc.

Honestly, we have all been there OPTIMO. I believe that it is okay to question and come to your own conclusions. I can think of two times in my life where I just didn't think it was right to pray (because I was doing wrong or because of doubts). Those are actually the times that you need to embrace it rather than run from it. It's easy to pray when you are doing right because there is no shame, but you actually have to humble yourself and reflect when you are praying in the mist of doubt or wrongdoing.

That is also why it is important to pray for growth and wisdom rather than material blessings.

But when you're in a lifestyle where you know its hard to break off... It's hard to ask for god for forgivness when you made your own mess, and you most likely gone keep doing your own mess again. How am i gonna pray to god to forgive me for my sins when im gonna wake up and do the same shyt again? I dont wanna be a hypocrite, or a fake christian.


I'll meet god one day, and it's gonna be when im ready to meet him.
