Praying is simply humbling yourself to Gods presence and talking. If we go to 1 of Thessalonians 5:16-18 it states that we should Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, giving thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God Christ Jesus for you. So even if you feel like the Lord is not answering our prayers, we need to wait in him. Patience is a fruit of the spirit, and it needs to be practiced. For Gods time is precious, and he is never late. Always pray in the mornings without eating. I personally praise the Lord out loud, but when I pray, I tend to pray in my head. Why? Because the evil can be listening. Have faith that the Lord is going to answer your prayer in due time, us humans want things done one day to another. Or miracles to happen in a week. But sometimes the Lord does not give us what we want right away, so when he does bless us, we are able to cherish it. Amen.

Great question, just because there are so many Christians who still smoke. I am not one to judge or point fingers. But we are the body of the holy spirit. Anything unhealthy that we put in our body is hurting the body of the temple. So, that being said, there are many thing that are bad. Smoking, drinking, even if its on occasions, pray to the Lord to take that away from you. Overeating, living on pills ect ect all abd for the temple of the holy spirit.

The thing is, the bible was written by men through and inspired by the holy spirit. One can read a part of the bible and not understand, but it is always good to have the holy spirit in you to give you understanding if the word. If anyone struggles understanding than, its always good to pray before even opening the bible. Always praying to the Lord, our father God to give us the understanding and knowledge we need, to fully understand his word. Amen
