Since I believe that everything happens for a reason. I would like to share with you what came to me one day. I don't know how it came, but I will use it with a passion.
Reasons are like seasons. There are different seasons, as there are different reasons. You can prepare, but never know how it will turn out. It might turn out to be sunny. You also could prepare for a reason, but not get the outcome you expected. You could hate the weather, you could hate reasons. You could love seasons, or reasons. The most important thing is going along with it. If it's snowing outside are you going to be wearing shorts? Or are you going to go along with it and bundle up. If it's 100• are you going to wear sweats? Or will you wear shorts and a t-shirt? I'd hope. Even if you hate the season, you've got to go along with it if you want to stay healthy, or alive. You could also go against it, but wearing shorts in the snow will get you nowhere. The same things goes for reasons. The best way is just to learn to adapt. Go with it!

Prayer and your relationship with God
Prayer is the ultimate connection. No cords, no bills, no pain. It is the answer to all of your problems. And the best way to grow closer to Christ.
But what is prayer really about, is it about telling God what you dislike about something, or someone? Is it about asking what you want but might not need? Never.
Prayer is the number one things we as Christians take for granted. Some people will only pray things like" God, I really need you to help me out, I really want...... "Blah blah blah. Or, " Hey God, please watch over my mom and dad, and help get rid of my cold, oh and help me find my car keys, in your name amen." Short and simple. Thats not the kind of relationship God wants to have with you. Asking for something you want is not going to get you anywhere, anytime soon. God wants to have the best possible relationship with you, and it's your job to gain it. Prayer is the best way. True prayer.
When you pray, you need to have a real, one on one talk.
A professional football player wouldn't go up to his coach and say something like, " Hey Coach, I want to play defense, not kicker". (haha sorry I don't really know any better football terms) He would say something like, "Hey coach, I think I'm a better kicker than defense, but wherever you want to put me I'll do it, and try my best." The coach wants the best for the player, and his team. And will put the player wherever he thinks is best for him, and what he things the player cappable of. Like the coach, God also wants the best for you, and will help you with whatever he thinks should go, and you can't change it. So we need to be like the better player, and accept what God does for us, and really tell God our opinions, and what we are worried about. Get in deep prayer.
Tell Him what you would like, not only that, but why you would like that. What you think about your want. Your worries about it, and anything else you would like to share with Him. For example, if you really wanted to buy a house, and you prayed about it you could pray something like" God, I really need your help. I want to buy a house. I really want to because I would like to move out of my parent's and get a real life. I think that I can do it, but I need your help. I'm worried that if I get a house to pricy, I'll never be able to pay it back. I know I can do it with your help. Please guide me to the right place and decision. In Jesus name I pray Amen.".
Go even deeper than that. The deeper the conversation the better the relationship you'll build with God. Tell God your every thought. You will be even closer to God, and feel very reassuered afterwards.
