  I know I’ve been through certain levels of hell in my life before. Way too many moments of feeling like it might be my last minute on this earth. But then at the worst, especially during times when I knew I was going to die, I have prayed. And this is coming from a man who has been rejected, ashamed, and cursed by those who uphold religion in the only way they know how, the way of making themselves feel righteous by tearing someone else down because they don’t share the same ideas. I’ve never been a bad person, and I’ve actually always had a martyr complex because of it and have saved quite a few lives in my time. I was just always so hatred of myself because I was raised by school, religion and authority to believe I wasn’t worthy of a good life. But prayer has worked for me every time. I have seen it work in a split second and I have seen prayers answered that have taken all my life to be proven true. The best part is knowing there is a power greater than me that can move mountains when I can’t even move my head from pain, something that has my back when no human will stand to help. I feel like I wouldn’t have my best friend if it weren’t the prayer that I said about finding a person who would know exactly about me in every way without me having to say a word because they’ve lived through the same type of hell. I had no idea about how truly amazing that person would turn out to be once they were a part of my life… again. I don’t believe in religion, just having faith and thinking positively about what I want to experience in life. And prayer has worked every time. Regardless of how horrible things may seem when waiting to be answered, it has always worked for the better.
