prayer sleep eye
If something controls you in a way that puzzles you, think of it as a mystery. Mysteries are best approached by closing your eyes and mouth to experience darkness and silence. I find new and healing images in that dark, silent place away from emotions that control me. Do not be afraid to close your eyes and be silent in prayer, meditation, rest or sleep. In those states you may rediscover a new self. Then your life, time and thoughts will become yours again and you can live your unique myth. Bernie Siegel
prayer order guarantees-that
When you embrace the mystery and open yourself to it, a new life is created, resistant to the old problems. You will notice at times that the new life isn't what you asked for. But asking for specific items or for particular events to occur isn't how I define prayer. I cannot guarantee that the orders you place with God will always be filled. Prayer is not a test of God, but a call for help to find your inner strength and talent.

Your prayer must be for a healthy mind in a sound body.

Reveal what you are able to give yourself; the only path to a life of tranquility lies through virtue. Juvenal

prayer lying drinking
in the cupboard sits my bottle like a dwarf waiting to scratch out my prayers.

Charles Bukowski

It's so hard when sincere prayer about something you desire very much is not answered the way you want. It is difficult to understand why your exercise of deep and sincere faith from an obedient life does not grant the desired result. At times it is difficult to recognize what is best or expedient for you over time. Your life will be easier when you accept that what God does in your life is for your eternal good.

I know that those prayers will be answered, for God loves you. His Son gave his life for you. I know they will help you.

In response to our sincere prayers for guidance, He will direct us in what should be emphasized at each phase of our life. We can learn, grow, and become like Him one consistent step at a time.

However, His answers will seldom come while you are on your knees praying, even when you may plead for an immediate response.
