5 People You Should Pray For Daily

Dear Lord,

Or dear Jesus? Dear God? I don't know the proper way to start an informal prayer. I mean, I know how to start a formal prayer, but I like to start praying thinking that I am talking to an old friend. At night when I lay awake and can't sleep, I fold my hands and pray. I pray until I sleep, and hope for sweet dreams on the way. Now, I've never been overly religious.

But I have the utmost respect for Christians of all kinds, whether that means church every Sunday, or church when you can make it on time.

I respect every religion because I believe in the freedom of religion. If someone wants to pray to their God about me, I'm thankful, because I'm in their thoughts. I've always had a close relationship with God. And that's because he's my God. Even when I was trying to find my way, I remained guided and loved. So at night when I can't sleep (which is most nights) I try to talk (pray) to an old friend.

Here are 5 people I pray about and hope they pray for me, too!

1. Parents

.

I pray for my parents every day, I don't know where or who or what I would be without them.

2. My Significant Other

Whether I speak to them daily, yearly, or monthly, my friends are always on my mind and in my heart. I wish them happiness in whatever they chose, and they God keep them close to me as we all grow up into our own lives.

4. Enemies

That's right, I pray for people who don't wish me well. Whether I'm aware they aren't fond of me or not, I still think about them, and that they may be happy in life too. I pray they reach peace of mind.

5. Strangers


I pray for strangers. I pray for the general population. I want my future kids add my kid brothers and my friends and family and future children to grow up in a safe and loving environment; so I pray for a world where that environment truly exists.


And if you're reading this,

I pray for you, too. I hope this is finding you in good health, and that you're warm, safe, and loved.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
