It's easy to hate on our humanity but as I learned to love God I've learned to love my humanity as well.
When you look down at your body, you may take it for granted. But God's thumbprints are on every single one of His creations, and we are not an exception.
When you're hurt or in pain or sad, God has given us the gift of crying, releasing comfort chemicals in our brain to help us. God gave us laughter for our joy and humor and if we need to cope with something.
God gave us the ability to create, with our thumbs and fine motor skills and the brain to imagine it. God gave us autoheal (the body's system is INSANE and I could go on and on about it) God gave us a world that can see total eclipses and put us at the perfect time to see the stars at when the universe was exploding and full of beauty, God gave us strange but wonderful anatomy that looks like no other, God made us out of love and He gave us a world made of love and He is still with us!!! We are loved by Love!!! This isn't just "Oh God loves a lot" through the Bible we learn God is Love. Love is eternal and all encompassing and will never die.
Of course some could argue that our beautiful bodies are only due to mindless evolution, but... I'm not convinced. Evolution explains some things, but not others. Evolution is an explanation for late in the game when we were evolved enough that life was successful enough to have the resources for evolution. Evolution doesn't explain how the small and weak and few could survive long enough to become stronger. Evolution doesn't explain sentience. Purely blind evolution is as farfetched as a computer being created from erosion and lightning strikes.
Oh and can we talk about Jesus? About how God of the universe died the death of peasants and one so evil there was a superstition among some Jews that those who died in such a way couldn't be raised from the dead? How God was persecuted by those who claimed to love Him?
Ok I'm cutting this off bc this wasn't meant to be a full on praise post but as I continued I couldn't help myself, you know how it is with God. He has so much to adore.

Um. So I passed out in the car earlier today. Thankfully it happened just before I put the car into drive and I’m okay now, but it really freaked me out. I’ve never passed out before and I don’t know why it happened. Any prayers would be appreciated.

This might sound silly but I want to start going to Mass, I've only ever been to protestant church services before. I have no idea what to expect or do or wear and I've watched a few YouTube videos but for whatever reason I'm still anxious.
I just have nasty social anxiety and I don't want to stand out as a total newbie who doesn't know what they are doing. Any advice and prayers would be appreciated

100% transparent. I need prayers. I’m extremely suicidal rn. I don’t want to be here anymore. I’m sick of the pain, seizures and fear of the future. I’m sick of this world.

Prayer request 4/20/24
Could I get some prayers for the father of one of my friends in Korea? There is a doctor’s strike going on, and he has been denied entrance to the first hospital they took him to. He’s in severe pain, and it’s uncertain what his condition is. If I could get prayers that he be accepted into a hospital, that the medical workers there are efficient and competent and that his needs are met.

my brothers and sisters in christ, i come to you in a time of need. one of my brothers have been really struggling lately. he’s lost. i don’t think i can pray for him all on my own. if you guys could pray for him and just ask God to put his hands around my brother and save him, that’d mean the world to me. my heart aches seeing him like this. we’ve lost both of our parents young but it’s hit him the hardest. i just want him home and safe. amen and God bless y’all 🤍🤍

Thank you all for your prayers. We talked, I let my emotions out, and we’re all right.
I’m not going to go into details about the subject of the conversation in detail on the internet.
Please continue to pray for us, for him that he may come to know the graces of God. Thank you!
I need to have a tough conversation with my husband at some point in the near future, and just thinking about it makes me shake, cry, and feel so anxious. None of those are good.
Please pray for me.
And my husband.
