Just a Suggestion
I recently read that the reason we pray is simply that we cannot help praying. One of the most surprising facts about humanity is that no tribe has been found whose people did not pray to one or more gods.

Thirsty
The word “thirsty” is defined as being parched, dry, or dehydrated. Prolonged dehydration can affect our concentration, influence our mood, and lead to serious health complications.

Be Encouraged
Jesus turned around, and when he saw her he said, “Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was healed at that moment.
(Matthew 9:22; see also: Mark 5:34, Luke 8:48)

Paper Cuts
It happens much too often. I’m hurrying to open an envelope, not paying much attention, when suddenly -- OUCH! A dreaded paper cut!

"Grudge"
Even the sound of the word is ugly. Go ahead – say it out loud – not very pleasant, is it?

Are You Tuned Up?
We often dread getting our vehicle inspected or tuned up, as we are often surprised to find out what may be failing and needs to be replaced, or at least adjusted.
