Sylyon1976 is the official corrector for the Spanish sentences. Please correct your posts according to her suggestions. There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.
Guidelines:
Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game.

Difference between orar y rezar:
"Rezar" means to recite a prayer, while "orar" means to pray. You use "rezar" when you say the Lord's Prayer. You use "orar" when you are talking or having a conversation with God.
You use "rezar" when you are repeating a prayer, and you use "orar" when you are not following a certain "formula" or "steps" by reciting prayers. "Orar" is a relaxed conversation with God, where you thank Him, praise Him, ask Him for forgiveness, and ask Him to help you with your certain needs.
Examples: "Yo rezo el Padre Nuestro."
"Antes de leer mi Biblia, yo oro al Padre para que me dé discernimiento sobre lo que voy a leer."
