God is not up there in the clouds, he is closer than we think. He is in our thoughts, and prayers to god actually appears to yourself. God is the reason why we regularly take a closer look at ourselves and then change things in our lives where we are not happy about. But we all keep saying ''praise the lord!’’ but this is about ourselves! The word God helps you to find your own strength. But if you still believe that you get that strength from God, you must have some more believing in yourself!
