almost everyone has seen someone pray over the food at the dinner table,you know bless this food to our bodies and our bodies to your service, but tell the truth when was the last time god answered you? ah like never? for most
so still we go on with the ritual of praying because some how its what god expects right? but if your praying and god dosent talk back why on earth bother? talking to someone who ignores you is a waste of time!
but why dosent god answer back? Im a fixing to tell you because i prayed that ritual prayer stuff and never heard 1 word not 1 word mind you! until someone told me why. prayer is like a set of walkie talkies when you pray you have to let go of your talk button and expect an answer! because your not getting one until you do! when you pray end your speech with the classic in jesus name amen, then look and listen like crazy for gods answer! the first time is the hardest ive seen it take weeks before the person finds the answer! this excersize will help big time! trust me you will be freaking out when it comes and it will come! pray then take out a pencil and paper and write down what ever pops into your head, take the paper with you look and listen for what you wrote throughout your day record the circumstances if you hear what you wrote on the paper...
so why do you have to write? the book of habakuk is exactly what i just told you. if your interested in gods answer enough to take notes trust me your gonna get some action! it takes practice but after you start geting answers that you know are from god it will be like a new toy! after a few times you wont need to write because you will know how to listen for people confirming the words you wrote down! its specialy exciteing when you pray saterday write something down then have the pracher read it from the bible and do a sermon! then thats your turn to stand up at testamonie time if you have one
have fun.

God does grant about 3/7 of the things you [properly] pray for. And they are always "Let Jehovah's name be sanctified", "let Jehovah's Tyranny come", and "Let Jehovah's selfish will take place at the exclusion of everyone else's". Those things he will grant, whether you pray for them or not. Hence, it is a waste of time and completely redundant to pray for them.
Everything else, Jehovah takes the credit for if you get it despite (not because, despite) his interference. You do all the work, Jehovah decides whether or not to let your work produce and demand an exorbitant price or to kill the fruits for his own entertainment. Never does that Almighty Lowlife Scumbag ever actively cause you to get anything that blind luck would have done. This, too, is a complete waste of time.

I pray because it's a refocusing of my own energy into or onto something that I want to manifest - whether that's gratefulness to the animals/plants that died/ humans that worked to put food on my table, or to focus my own energy on something I need to personally sort out. An external corporeal god has little to do with it.

I know exactly what you're talking about, arimatthewsdavies. In every moment the universe is whispering to you beneath your conscious awareness. When you begin to pray with right intention and faith, you are developing your ability to "hear" and "see". In times past, people were more in tune with this, but modern day man has lost touch with this ability and have become isolated from their connection to it. They have become angry (a very difficult state to overcome) and they blame God for everything. That's almost like blaming the sun for getting a bad sunburn.

Erm, paragraphs wouldn't have gone amiss....
I'm sorry, can you explain to me what "faith" is Journey-On?

Pray because you believe it does something, not because it produces tangible results, IMO.

i see this subject drew a big response! i was a dope adict for 25 years and i thought prayer and god was worthless until the day i was taught how to pray and do the note thing. 2 weeks after i started that exercise god comunicated with me, in a way that i could hear him kinda like speech a few days latter i was physically healed of adiction then he helped me pay for a support and training program for the bad thinking that comes with adiction, praying is a good thing if your doing it right, if not you will have way more fun playing magic 8 ball. Another reason to pray right is it anoys the living poop out of jehovah hateing, satan butt smoching people!, these people know prayer works cause they pray to the dark lord everyday and get what they pray for!
they dont want you to know how because than they dont have as many cows to milk! but im not here to talk 12 points of satanism, im here simply to say try the praying and takeing note thing if you dont get real results, then go get a big bottle of booze and sing nobody loves me everybody hates me guess i will eat worms! serious here is a life changeing exercise try it if you dont like it you can get a double your money back refund with hot dancing porn girls to take home instead!
