Be Careful What You Pray For
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY FOR. YOU CAN GET IT AND REGRET IT!
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY FOR. YOU CAN GET IT AND REGRET IT!
Once upon a time a gahtrillion years ago, I was taught to pray by my Grandma Minnie. She told me to "Ask God for whatever I wanted, and if I prayed hard and long enough in front of the Friday night Shabbos candles, God would listen to me." Some of my prayers got answered but did not bring happiness. I pondered this for many years until studying with a plethora of gurus from assorted spiritual beliefs. One very important concept came out of the years invested in my studies.
To bring it down to simple terms, I re-learned how to pray. Always, before asking Almighty Mind for the goal, I preface it by saying, "In the right and perfect way in YOUR eyes I ask....." For me to pretend I know what is "right and perfect" is silly. I do not. The unhappy answered prayers proved it beyond any shadow of any doubt to me. Think or meditate a little about this concept, and please let me know your thoughts? Blest Be. Ruby *o*

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY FOR. YOU CAN GET IT AND ...": I too have learned and relearned this lesson in prayer. There really is an art to praying. No matter what your religious belief, it seems to help if lots of sincere emotion is part of it. Thanks for the blog. It makes good sense to me. anon in Chicago

WHO EVER SAID LIFE WAS GOING TO BE SIMPLE?
Looking into a crystal ball to see what life will bring us is for the very few gifted mediums. Otherwise we are pretty much equal when it comes to making our life choices. Why do some people have fabulous lives and others get snuffed out at a young age from assorted illnesses or accidents? Is it really all PRE-ordained by what some refer to as KARMA? Or can we change things by using wisdom, and learning from our mistakes? Today a four year old is fighting for life from full-blown Leukemia. My friend just won millions in the Lottery, but has serious health issues.
There is no day that people are not asking for prayers. This is part of what I do as a Trauma Resolution Therapist. Knowing why most people would choose to come to me for help puts me into a position to pray. Trauma is no joke. Is it the young person just back from front lines in warfare with PTSD? Or the gal who is terrified of her fiance who beats her to a pulp and still will not run away from his violence for her very life? So you can see why I find it so beneficial to pray. And pray I do before every session.
The things I have seen in the years of counseling have put a tough veneer on me. It is my job to hold the energy during session for the safety of a patient, as well as for my own well-being. This is how I choose to spend life, since the average person in America today cannot easily retire. The economy has brought more negatives to many people who cannot put food on the table and have lost a great deal. HOPE is a four letter word. Hope is part of what I do in order to give the gift of strength to someone asking for help. Without HOPE, how can one continue?
Watching so many I have worked with overcome and succeed is the greatest joy for me. It means that all the years have been spent with a relatively positive outcome. When the realities become too much for me, I always pray. It removes the weight from my shoulders and allows me to continue doing what I love. I have seen atheists bow in surrender to the higher forces. I have seen deeply spiritual people scream at God. In the end, we all must give this life the best we know how.
