being judged

A friend this week was told not to let her family judge her 'christianity' that it was between her and God alone.
I don't believe this.
Every week we go to church on Sunday and sing songs asking God to take over our lives. We tell him I surrender all, except .....
Well, I'm sorry to remind you but people, your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers are judging you. And they should be. What they are judging is what you really believe. Do you have a Sunday religion? Or are you living a daily relationship?
We are their Bible. It is not what we say we believe, but what we live that will bring those people to an acknowledgement of Christ in their own lives.
So before you go out today remember that everyone who sees you will be judging you. So judge yourself first. Are you a living example of the gospel?

Need help

HEy folks, I am working on a chapter in my book For Jen. It's on prayer. So I have three simple questions I would like you to answer for me.
1. Why pray?
2. What should I pray for?
3. What should I not pray for?

Thanks for the help. I look forward to seeing your answers.

How to begin prayer

Oh, Lord my God. When I in awesome wonder consider all the worlds thy hands have made. I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, thy power through out the universe displayed. Then sings my soul my saviour God to thee. How great thou art. How great thou art. Then sings my soul my saviour God to thee. How great thou art. How Great THOU ART.
