I have seen some recent pictures
of Muslims display their religion by praying on set times or dates in very
public places and I wondered if I am that courageous. I
could excuse that political correctness chastises my use of God in public
places but those same hypocrites allow others to praise Allah.
So I wondered if it was
me and I had created in myself a false fear of what the Atheists and Muslims
were going to say if I prayed at a Wendy's or alone in a hotel with no one to
look upon me save God himself. Is faith or Christianity slowly being eradicated
by law or social stigma? I knew that Alma was brought to the same forefront
when he was confronted by the priests of Noah a second time and they at the
time had political clout. Are we
under the similar spiritual punches in the gut or are we doing it to ourselves
because we have surrendered our power to something imaginary (that could end up
the law if we are not careful)?
Thinking of this I have
made some effort to counter the effects by praying more in public. Sure I do
not utter a word to reverence others faith (or lack thereof) but I pour my
heart out to my make so that I like Alma can be heard in my heart. I pray that
even the action of a prayer like jester doesn't become against the like Alma's
story.
Have a great day and as
Alma said "Yea,
and when you do not cry unto the Lord, let your hearts be full, drawn out in prayer unto him continually for your welfare, and also for the welfare of those who
are around you."
