It's a day-to-day walk and He's my strength, my all. But, you don't have to be raised in church or even go to church to know Him, it's just a matter of an individual quest, a hunger and a desire. As for praying - He already knows how you feel, you just talk to Him, like we are right now. And, knowing about Him comes from either hearing about Him or reading The Bible - a good updated/modern/fun version is "The Message" - like reading a book. My beliefs and faith have changed over the years and gone from religion to an intimate walk with Him. I believe in healing and I pray it for you and all the others I have come to "love" on this site. He said it in His Word and I believe it and claim that promise for us all! It is His desire for you to be well. You wouldn't believe all He's brought me through... abuse, infertility (facing a hysterectomy then miraculously healed of endometriosis), severe financial setbacks, healing of a heart condition. So, it's just a matter of time until we're all well! I do thank you for your kindness and know He brought you all into my life for "such a time as this". Blessings - Dorothy
