Well some think I am a look but I pray about everything even what write in e-mails. Of course I probably don't put it exactly what Jesus would. I believe the Bible says to be in constant prayer. It says pray without ceasing and let your petitions be known to God whom is faithful.  I don't know what I would do without prayer. Thank you Jesus for prayer.
