When I was a child, I didn’t understand why my mom prayed so often—before bed, during meals, all the time. But now, I can see how much God has helped me through many difficult times. Whenever I face problems, I talk to Him, ask for help, or share my feelings. I’ve come to see Him as my best friend. I even write in my journal as if I’m talking to Him, and it helps me feel really connected. I’ve also thought about going to church more, even though I used to think I didn’t have time. Now, I make an effort to go with my mom when I can, to pray and spend time with God.
