Prayer is the open admission that without Christ we can do nothing. Prayer is an expression of faith in God’s power, fueled by a desire for more of him. In his excellent book on prayer, drawing on centuries of wisdom about its purpose and power, Tim Keller steps into this dance between dependence and delight. He talks about the marriage of “kingdom-prayer” (asking God to work in the world) and “communion-prayer” (enjoying the presence and relationship of God). He writes, The main ingredient in effective prayer is emphatically not us. Often Misunderstood. Many of us find James 5:16 to be a familiar verse: “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working” — which is also translated, as an ESV footnote spells out, “The effective prayer of a righteous person has great power.” Then there is Sunday morning that includes prayer in song and other ways. If assembling for prayer is not part of your devotion to prayer, make 2003 a breakthrough year. Both-and: free and formed, alone and assembled. D — Desperate and Delighted. Being devoted to prayer will mean that you come to God in prayer often desperate and often delighted. “Prayer must be, then, one of the hardest things in the world” (24). He’s after a deeper experience in prayer that he himself had neglected and forfeited over many years. In the first pages, he tells us what he wants the reader to feel when we pray: This book will show that prayer is both conversation and encounter with God. . . . Prayer is objectively real — a real God, real communication, real work, real answers. But it also comes in a million shapes and forms. Prayer happens in seconds — short moments in the cracks of our day — and it can happen for hours at a time, even throughout a whole night. Prayer is conscious, personal communication with the God of the ... How to Persevere in Prayer. If you are struggling to maintain a healthy and vibrant prayer life, you are not alone. Every lifelong journey of prayer comes with seasons of dryness or discouragement. These resources were crafted to help you endure the valleys with hope and rebuild your communion with God. Prayer in the power of the flesh relies upon human ability and effort to carry the prayer forward. We all know what it is to feel deadness in prayer, difficulty in prayer, to be tongue-tied, with nothing to say, as it were, having to force ourselves to try. Well, to the extent that is true of us, we are not praying in the Spirit. Ephesians 6:17–18 says to “take . . . the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.” And Jude 20–21 says, “You, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit , keep yourselves in the love of God.” 1. Set prayer apart. The more we pray, the more we want to pray. To do this, you need to build it into the rhythm of your day any way you can: set alarms, leave notes, put it in your day planner. Prayer is a practice that requires discipline and perseverance, and we should own the cost. Prayer is the greatest act of our day, and we must fight ...

2025.01.23 13:26 Ok-Profile3613 Hashimotos, conceiving and/or (recurring) miscarriages
I've read older threads, but since the topic hasen't been brought up in a while, I'd like to open this one.
What I'm actually curious about is hearing from people who had a hard time conceiving and/or had multiple miscarriages.
I often hearead about people who get pregnant rather quickly, but then end up with a miscarriage. I have both, it takes us a good year to get pregnant and if it happens, we loose it.
I was diagnosed with hashimotos in mid 2024, after I had my 3rd miscarriage because of 'unknown causes'. Here my 'stats' from May:
2025.01.23 13:26 Choice-Comment4387 Lakás vásárlás kérdés (hitelre)
Sziasztok,
Röviden vázolom a helyzetem. Kisebb lakást szeretnék venni, kb 12M FT önerőm van. A többi hitel lenne. A felső határ kb. 55M FT. Napi szinten bújom a hirdetéseket. Viszont jelenleg azt látom, hogy egyik napról a másikra ugrálnak fel akár +5M FT-ot az árak. Eddig 4 lakást is kp-s vevő vett meg előlem. ( Ezt úgy kell érteni, hogy egyeztettem már időpontot másnapi megtekintésre, ahol vételi szándéknyilatkozatot is szerettem volna tenni, viszont az időpont előtt visszajeleztek, hogy elkelt a lakás). Kicsit kezdek ettől besokallni... Most elég élénk a piac. Szerintetek várható, hogy pár hónapon / fél éven belül kicsit lelassul a pörgés? Most szabadulnak fel a PMÁP megtakarítások, ez sem segít a helyzetemen.
Kb. képtelenségnek érzem felvenni a versenyt hitelesként a KP-s vevőkkel szemben, a korrektség pedig nem nagyon van meg senkiben, hogy tartsa a szavát. (Természetesen megértem, hogy a KP. az biztos, csak nehéz lenyelni ezt a békát. )

2025.01.23 13:26 Hazard-X Should I keep working on this infinite dungeon crawler or move on to something else?
The game is called "Crawl Man" since it's a dungeon crawler and I'm terrible at naming things. It's an infinite dungeon crawler with progressive difficulty that scales with how many rooms you have cleared.
Every cleared room gives you an upgrade point you can use to increase one of 3 stats (Health, Weapon, Speed) or recover health at the cost of no upgrade. All 3 stats have small perks at level milestones with a large perk if you max the stat.
New enemies are also introduced every 5 rounds. Currently there are 11 enemies in the game with mostly unique mechanics.
There are also a few different game modes I created to increase difficulty if the player wanted to challenge themselves more.
I started making this game around Christmas and planned on only working on it until the new year (I was practicing my game development skills by making a series of small games start to finish) but I ended up having a lot of fun with it and now I am running to the end of the extended scope I gave myself. Should I continue polishing this into something real or move on?
There are of course some bugs... more than shown in this short video but nothing I couldn't fix if I decided to commit to the project.
Also any feedback on the small amount of gameplay I showed would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
ps: all sprites were made by a friend and myself and while I'd say I am a pretty solid programmer I am a terrible artist so be kind lol
