Abundance

A good long conversation yesterday with my Angel Michael about the power of prayer. The gist of it being we should pray more often. Well, duh. Sounds like a no-brainer but he made it sound very simple. And it is.

The simple act of praying, whether it is out loud or silently, connects you to the source that is God. That is, this River of Positive Energy that flows within us. This is a direct connect to Him. Speed dial. All prayers are heard. All. Our God cares. He loves us.

Does not seem like it sometimes, does it? War. Famine. Pestilence. Crime. Drug abuse. Pornography. Child and elder abuse. Pollution. I could go on and on. But God does love us. And he gave us free will, and a soul. Well, okay, everything has a soul, but still.

The point I am trying to make, albeit in a clumsy way, is that not all prayer requests are granted. Sometimes the journey that a soul has to undertake here on Earth is a perilous one. One has to remember that for the soul, all experiences are equally rich and deep and meaningful. For the soul there is no bad, evil, good, or saintly. There is just experience. So sometimes bad things happen. Sometimes prayers go unanswered.

Sometimes bad things happen. Sometimes good things happen. To the soul it is all the same.

And the soul continues the journey it has chosen.

Pray. Pray often throughout the day, and pray when you awaken for no reason in the middle of the night. It is a strong connection to God, and a comforting one.

As I am discovering.
