your results. You must believe them to be true. 2) One of the most important techniques in how to create powerful affirmations is repetition! 3) When you want to master the process of how to create powerful affirmations make sure you fill your affirmative thoughts with positive emotions. 4) Mastery of the process of how to create powerful affirmations usually requires that we examine and change your current thought paradigms.

Reflection #1: Big Night Big Night has a very impactful message of what it means to affirm our humanity and creatively shows how we go about embracing this can be either good or bad for those around us. I do not believe that it is accurate to classify the term “humanity” as morally good actions done to help our fellow mankind, but rather believe that “affirming our humanity” refers to exemplifying what makes us truly human. This includes a wide spectrum of morality and ethics which must be embraced
The symbol I chose for this assignment is God. The reason I chose God is because in the novel “Night” Elie had mentioned Him countless times, which made ‘God’ significant throughout the book. God to me means something else, than for Elie. You would see why during the presentation. (So the meaning of God is “ a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes”) My first picture I choses for Elie under the symbol of God is a pile of dead bodies. The reason I chose
the day may be implemented into the school schedule to allow the practice of student’s personal beliefs. Finally, since prayer was eliminated from public school systems, the nation has seen a decrease in education and the increase in crime rate. Even though public schools today are without school prayer, most schools have replaced prayer with a "silent moment of reflection." Prayer should be established into schools, because it generates the exposure to other cultures, allows a calming period for students
Ayasha Husseini Mrs. Johnson AC ELA 8th grade 07 May 2014 Prayer in Public Schools "I do not believe that any type of religion should ever be introduced into the public schools of the United States." -Thomas Edison. Religion and prayer in public schools is a big controversy for schools in the United States. School officials cannot take sides on religion since it will violate the first amendment which states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of

dependence on God and His provision. Our corporate prayers usually vary in length simply so that when people have a short prayer they don't feel obligated to fill the dead air with nonsense. Some guys pray short, and carefully, and some pray long and full of expression, keeping with their own God-given design, but no matter who is doing it, or how they are doing it, it just looks real (maybe the word affectionate, or heartfelt) When I think of prayer flops I think of the ones that are done by people
I entered into the worship service, unaware of what to expect. I was not familiar with this church, it was a non-denominational church, but the pastor had his roots in the A.M.E. Zion Church and branched out to establish his own church. I walked into the sanctuary prepared to participate in the Sunday School. I found a seat and readied myself to engage in some meaningful discussion. After sitting for several minutes, I asked one of the gentlemen who was standing at the front of the church if
Faith has several strengths and weaknesses when used as a basis for knowledge in religion and the natural sciences. In order to fully analyze these strengths and weaknesses and determine which of the two is more prevalent, faith, religion, and the natural sciences should be distinguished from one another. In The New Merriam-Webster Dictionary faith is defined as the “belief and trust in God” or “allegiance to duty or a person” (270), religion as “an organized system of faith and worship” (617), and
or the teaching of the unknown of Christ, but some of God’s mysteries have not been shown to the world yet (Oxford University Press, 2014). Meditation helps Christians form a deeper relationship with God. Christian meditation is a different type of prayer where the meditator makes the effort to become more alert of and in which there is an attempt made to be able to become aware of and reflect upon the exposures of God (Zanzig & Kielbasa, 2000). Meditation helps Christians pull closer to God by forming
predicated on the belief that certain places or individuals have the power to cure and heal. Meaning, something or someone can cure a disease or heal an injury by means of his / its connection to a Higher Power. Faith healing may involve prayer, a visit to a house of prayer or shrine, or just a strong belief in a Supreme Being. Conventional scientific evidence does not support claims that faith healing can cure serious diseases such as cancer. Some scientists even posit that the number of people claiming
Pockets,” faith is represented by God’s overcoat. The story shows that everyone has faith because faith makes life richer and gives hope. The main character finds an overcoat at a thrift shop, but he begins to pull out slips of paper with people’s prayers. The moral lesson to this story is one does not know what they have until it is gone. Brockmeier uses symbols of faith, magical elements, and realistic struggles to reveal the morals and lessons about humanity. The symbol of the coat portrays faith
other things, one can lose focus on self-disciplines. I now view the terms spiritual practices and spiritual disciplines both working together and not separate from each other. I attend to use these two concepts as a reminder concerning my individual prayer
It is true that if prayer in school is not done properly it can lead to students feeling uncomfortable. For there to be true freedom of religion all faiths must be represented equally. If this is done correctly no student will feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. Instead, there will be a feeling of peace and unity where all students feel comfortable sharing their religious exercises with others. If there are still one or two students who feel uncomfortable hearing the prayers of their peers is that
fervent relationship with Jesus. For my rule of life, I will pencil in daily life disciplines that fit in the season of life that I am in currently so that God can work in me and I can become Christ like. First, I will commit fifteen minutes to daily prayer with God. Second, I will commit fifteen minutes to daily scripture reading. Third, I will commit to lead, encourage and support my wife by living out the vows that we both agreed to with God. Fourth, I will commit myself to my family in raising my
First and foremost, my rule of life will be accountable to myself and God. I will make a chart and keep track each time one of the Rules of Life is accomplished. This will not only provide me a running check list, it will motivate me to keep up with the rules. Each month I will have breakfast with my best girlfriend to discuss the overall accountability. We have had a discussion, and she is also going to create a Rule of Life as well. At our monthly breakfast meetings, we will keep each other
Does prayer affect what a student can and cannot do? Prayer seems like an innocent, honest action to do in school. Some children are even pushed towards prayer by most of their parents, depending on their religious beliefs. Yet, what we do not know is that there is a major controversy between religion and schools. Though there is religious freedom due to the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, the government should not allow prayer in school because children should have a choice whether they want
As time went by and I learned more about various countries, their problems and needs, my prayers became more specific as I felt like I connected with the people of particular countries. For example, I asked God to help the continent of Africa, especially the eastern area of Kenya. Their economy has been suffering for many years, and it is considered
