Religion Hw-Gr. 6

Religion: Why Do We Need To Pray?

First we need to pray because praying is the same like talking to God. We need to talk to God privately. Not in front of the crowds or in the roads. We can talk to God by closing your self in your room and talk to God. God can see us and He will give us award for doing it in the proper way. You also can read the Bible and find a verse that talk about this, too.
Secondly, we need to be grateful to what God had given us when we pray. Maybe sometimes we don’t know that we’re lucky because we had a all five senses. But maybe some people is blind or deaf or maybe un able to speak or more. That’s why we have to be grateful to God for all things that we have.
Third thing is we need to confess for all sins that we do. If you don’t want your sins to be heard you can pray in your room quietly and confess all your sins to God. You know God will hear your confession and forgive you sins. But you have to promise that you won’t do it again. Sometimes we can learn from our mistakes so we won’t go into the same mistakes over and over again.
Fourth fact why we need to pray is we need to ask for his help and blessings. Also we can ask God for healthiness and happiness, If we have a problem and it seems that there are no way to solve it, we can ask God’s help to guide you to solve the problem. We can talk anything to God as long as its not about doing bad things to others. Of course God doesn’t want us to do bad things to others. That’s why He will not help you to do it..
The last thing or fact why we need to pray is we need to ask God’s help to help us to toughen our faith to Jesus Christ. If our faith to Jesus is tough of course God will protect us from the evil spirit around us. God will help us to fight against them.

In 1859, Sultan Tamjid was the sultan of Kerajaan Banjar, while Pangeran Hidayat is the rightful sultan. The commoners didn’t like Sultan Tamjid because he’s favoritism to Dutch. Pangeran Antasari tried to defend Pangeran Hidayat. Afterward, Pangeran Antasari received help from the proconsuls of Hulu Sungai, Martapura, Barito, Plelhari, Kahayan, and Kapuas. All proconsuls wanted to eliminate Dutch from Kerajaan Banjar. The war broke out on 18 April 1859. In this war Dutch was in trouble. So, Dutch persuaded Pangeran Antasari by making promises to give him many things if he would stop the war, but Pangeran Antasari refused the offer.

In this difficult situation, Pangeran Hidayat surrender to Dutch and later on also all proconsuls. But Pangeran Antasari kept on with his fight. To him it was impossible to make peace or surrender to the Dutch.

Lorentz National Park Papua - "The Lost Green World"


Lorentz National Park is a giant rain forest park located in Papua Province, East Indonesia. This giant rain forest on top of big mountains is a big home of hundred kind of wild animals and thousand kind of trees. For ages the rain forest in Papua are free and fresh.

But now this area is known as a Fragile Environtment, a natural evironment where live many flora and fauna that can be easily destructed because of human activities causing the environtment endangered.
Since more than 40 years ago a Copper and Gold and mine was opened in Kabupaten Mimika, near the Timika City. This big mine is called Freeport, a company from USA. Freeport Mine located side by side with Lorentz National Park. And their mining area was get bigger and bigger, and started to disturb the National Park.


Since long time there were a lot of proofs and evidences that the mining operation made danger to the fragile environtment. Freeport company cut the trees in the rain forest, blew the hills and dig the ground to take the copper and gold from the land. Then they threw the pollutant dirt, also called Tailing, into the Ajkwa River. The tailing killed fishes and pollute the water.

After seeing the above photos now we know that the Lorentz National Park is a Fragile Environtment, why ?? Because of the Copper and Gold mining causing :

1. Some hills and small mountains were not there anymore
2. Millions of Trees were cut down
3. Thousand of animals from insects to big wild animals died
4. River got polluted
5. Fresh water fishes died
6. People can use water for drink and cooking
7. Sea also got polluted as the river brought the tailing into the sea
8. Sea fishes and other sea fauna died
9. The air nearby the mining is not fresh anymore
10. Causing global warming
TAILING DUMP EVERYDAY
THROWN TO AJKWA RIVER

Looking at the above graphics we know how much destruction caused by the mining activities to the environtment. If we don't start doing something to stop the destruction, I think our country, maybe, will look like the Sahara Dessert someday.
