i used to think that it’s rude to pray.
imagine being constantly bombarded
by every tom dick and harry
“please let me win the lottery”
“please lord i won’t steal again, please don’t let me get caught”
“please let me finish on time”
me me me.
i used to think that praying means asking for something.
maybe it does.
maybe The Big I Am wants us to pray,
like a parent who would love to hear his child
ask for an ice cream after years of anguished silence.
it seems we remember God more when we lose things.
An imperfect quote;
“Sri Krsna uvaca
By My causeless mercy, all that you love shall be taken away, that you may remember Me.”
here is my prayer:
Lord may you help those that are in pain. not just those near me, nor those that get coverage on tv,
but everyone. not just humans but flora and fauna too. no one is more important than the other.

Amen to that
Let it be 🙂
great post. I like to make sure I remember to pray with thanksgiving for all the good things and even it out with the requests lol
:)thank you 🙂
i probably give thanks and apologies far more often than praying, which am still getting used to 🙂
lol 😉
Your post has a positive message that I believe by the very fact it is now out in the Universe will result in a positive result, thank you
thank you very much 🙂
i’m not sure how far the butterfly effect extends, but, every little helps 🙂
and a silent prayer from the heart must be more valuable than a thousand from the tongue 😉
Sometimes I pray, “Dear Lord, thank you for today even though I hated it. I hope you have a nice night.”
that’s beautiful, and possibly the most rewarding way to pray, helps to keep you humble 🙂
i like to say thanks and sorry 🙂 possibly the most genuine kind of praying without actually asking for something, anything 🙂
That’s exactly how I see it too 🙂
