+====== There is God ... ======
+Tuesday, July 30, 2024. Being a human is a truly amazing thing. Humans can be fantastic. Our mind, our body, our soul are complex structures, we are living beings. Our heart is pumping blood. It is making sure all parts of the body are nurtured with oxygen and many other substances. Our stomach is digesting food, converting its energy and substances into something the body can use.
+** Amazing Humans ... **
+Mankind has evolved over the past thousands of years. We developed language, writing, mathematics, natural sciences, philosopy. We tried to understand our world, and we managed to use it. We built ships, planes, cars. We built houses, towers, tunnels. We found electricity, magnetism, the atom and its components, explored the structure of space and time.

+Friday, July 26, 2024. When you experiment and explore a life where Christian faith and prayer play important roles, there is much to discover. Prayer is in the very centre of such a life. Prayer is like a world of its own, where many treasures can be found, where much is to be discovered about mankind, about fulfilment, about our desires and the struggle of our life.
+** There is someone special ... **
+Prayer means talking to God and listening to God. Prayer also means: to be in the presence of God, in a conscious way, sometimes in an unconscious way, but still! Prayer is much more than delivering wishes which God has to satisfy. Prayer is more than a ritual. If it is a ritual only, it fails. It can have ritual elements, which help you to pray. But it does not need to have particular ritual element. There are many ways to pray.

+====== Prayer Experiences ... ======
+Tuesday, July 23, 2024. What are your prayer experiences? I remember that when I started to pray in a sincere way years ago, initially I had problems with it. But my experiences evolved in an unexpected way ...
+Prayer means to talk to God. Is God there? Is he listening? Am I just talking into the thin air? These questions might come to our mind when we start to pray. "God, do you hear me? Please answer me. Please listen to me!"
+** Get to know God ... **
+When you do not know God at all, how would you get to know him? When you pray, but you have no idea how God is, who God is, how can you learn about him? There might be different people and communities talking about God, about their particular God. Who is the real God? Who is the God you want to live with? [[jn_en_2024_07_23|... more]]
+====== Daily Prayer Times ... ======

+Monday, July 22, 2024. Prayer is the main way, how we live with God. We talk to him, and we listen to him. Prayer can involve taking the bible to hear. But when you know the bible well, this will help you a lot, since you will remember what he said and he can use your memory when you listen to him.
+** Experiences ... **
+Turning to God in prayer is a time full of peace. It can be a time of deep and good experiences. What is happening, when you turn to God in prayer? The bible promises that he is there with his holy spirit. If you started to live with Jesus, this spirit even came to live with you and in you. But in any case, you can address God, and he wants to talk to you. [[jn_en_2024_07_22|... more]]
