Different people use prayer different ways. |
Give all the credit to Roy Young. His girls jumped on us early, and they were very well prepared defensively for us. |
I'm a sinner as much as anyone else. I pray every day for the safety of my family and children, for guidance, for forgiveness. I also pray for other people who are in need of Christ's help and assistance. |
It was a defensive struggle to the end. A pillow fight. We buckled to the pressure and didn't take care of the ball late in the game. |
My girls played hard, they didn't give up. They put themselves in position to win the ball game but we missed too many shots. There is still plenty of basketball left for us to make a run in district. |
Turnovers in the last four minutes of the ball game cost us, but we've still got a lot more basketball left. If we continue to play good defensively and take care of the ball offensively, we'll be there at the end. |
You have to work at it, like everything else. It's easy to put God on the back burner, or to turn to him only when you have a problem. A lot of people use prayer when they are in need, then stop. To have a strong relationship with God, you have to keep going back to it. Like an athlete has to work hard to improve his skills, you have to maintain your faith to strengthen it. |
