A few nights ago my mother got me this book by Stormie Omartian and the basic summary of the book is talking about how to become closer to Him and what praying can do. This is a few paragraphs that I thought were intersting and I wanted to share.
Whether we admit it or not, or even recognize it in ourselves, we all pursue, seek after, idolize, or worship something or someone. And whatever we worship will become the main motivation in our lives. Some people worship celebrities. Others worship money and material possessions. Others worship their job or posistion. Still others worship such things as nature, beauty, food, hobbies, music, friends, or entertainment. Whatever we worship will influence our lives. The truth is, we become like what or who we worship. (Psalm 115:4-8)
When we worship something, it affects who we become as a person. This doesn't mean if you worship a rock star you are going to develop a raspy voice. It means you are worshiping something doesn't have the power to save you from anything. [/size]

Cool, yeah that's totally true. It kind of ties in with how worldly things will always let you down. Thanks for sharing

I kinda worship a celebrity. [Johnny Depp.] My life practically revolves arond him, but I think that God is the main person in my life.
