My Unlikely Prayer

My Unlikely Prayer Current mood: grateful Category: Life I used to pray every night. This was my prayer: "Dear Lord, please forgive me for I have sinned. God Bless (whoever I felt needed it, but usually everyone / world) Amen!" Life is trivial to me, as it probably is to many people. We all probably ask the question - "Who am I?" - "Why am I here?" - "What's my purpose?". One day I asked God this question and my answer was another question. "Why do you ask for yourself? Why not ask for the purpose of others?" As I grew up having it all yet having nothing I saw that gratefulness was the one and only true way to happiness and happiness changes the world! Gratefulness is the only true way to Heaven, in my opinion - this touched me. Later in my life I would pray for strength. Again, I heard the same message in my head - "Why do you pray for strength to only help yourself? Strength is limited." Yes, this is true. I thought - why not ask for inspiration - inspiration is unlimited...... So I prayed for inspiration. Nothing happened! I achieved nothing new...... I BECAME the inspiration..... ~Samantha 3:43 PM - 5 Comments - 3 Kudos - Add Comment - Edit - Remove

	Nevada Lights	No, I'm not trying to be poetic - its a true story! People tell me that they get an energy from me, they feel inspired by me and I realized that my prayer WAS answered! I just didn't know it. What an amazing thing that our prayers are answered the way we would have answered them ourselves. Belief is indeed powerful, even if you just believe in yourself.
