I believe prayer is my private time with God and when I pray with other people its like bringing him to the forefront, I love praying and thanking God through the ups and downs. Sometimes I feel like their are plenty of downs but I still thank him because I know it will get better. I think in the end, everything works for the good of God. I have seen bad things happen to good people, and sometimes that person has a choice to let the bad thing define them or to make them stronger.
