A phrase in the Lords prayer that I think is meaningful is “And lead us not into temptation.” I think this is meaningful, because we are asking God to help us when we tempted. We need God’s help to prevent us from doing something wrong. Everyone is a sinner, and we needed someone to guide us through something. That is what God does. He guides us through our struggles, and he tells us what to do when we are tempted. If we are listing, we will obey God’s words.

     We had a chapel on Thursday, and Tim came to share with us a challenge that he had for us. What his disability was and how he used it to bring God praise. Tim has a disability that makes him have brittle bones. When he was born he broke about 20 bones, and his parents had to care him home on a pillow. The doctors told Tim’s parents to love him, because he would only live for a day. God has been blessing Tim and his family, because Tim is now 18. The decorators were always confused when Tim would come for surgery and he would be so relaxed.  Tim would share the gospel with the doctors. Tim knew no matter what would happen to him, God let it happen for a reason. We all are like Tim. We all have some type of disability. It could be not having the ability to do sports, not being able to draw, or even having struggles with school work. Tim challenged us to use our disabilities to point people to God. To also use them to bring God praise. I think Tim was a great example of our theme this year which is Go. The theme verse is Matthew 28:19 Therefore go make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the  name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Tim has really impacted me by using his disability to bring the Lord praise. Hearing that what he had to say just touched my heart. Tim really impacted me to use my disabilities to praise God and to show others who God is.

 Romans 10:9-14: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

What Romans 10:9-14 means to me is, that if we profess our faith and declare to the world that Jesus is our Lord and truly believe you will be saved. I believe that God is telling us to trust him and believe in him that he will take care of all things you will be saved. Know that we now that if we trust God he will save us we have to go into the world and preach it to other people, and they can be saved too. Then they can preach to other people as well, but they have to truly believe and trust in God. This applies to me by I need to start preaching God’s love to other people so they can be saved as well as me.
