Words have meaning. Sounds like a “duh” kinda thing to say but bear with me.
Many speak of spirituality and God, of our connection to the “Father” and how
God is everywhere, at all times, always available, wanting to and will solve
all our problems if we will only trust in Him. Yet they live at odds with these
genuinely voiced beliefs. Belief is only theory, a nice thought or sentiment
unless demonstrated in action. We cause ourselves much needless discomfort and
unease when we fail to walk the way we talk.
So, pray expecting to receive, banishing the idea that prayer is simply a tool
employed to weather the storm, to buck up our spirits so to speak, but is in
truth a direct plea to God. Understanding our good thoughts and intentions are
meaningless unless we are willing to step out in faith and fly our flag as
believers for all to see, losing our fear of the negative judgments that will
be cast our way, for it is always easier to criticize and denigrate, for who is
without blemish? than to stand in the light and be counted, so many wish to
breathe free but choose to remain stifled for fear of ridicule or to curry
ultimately meaningless favor with others.
Words have meaning, and we must mean the words we use, otherwise we suffer
greatly at the hands of the true adversary, fear. When we speak without true
conviction our being becomes lost in polite sentiment, in affirmations
routinely recited with little feeling or honest belief, the prayers said with
no real expectation of relief producing results commensurate with the
conviction voiced.
To thine own self be true, so pray from the heart, expect to receive a
miracle for we live in an age of miracles, measure your words, and strive each
day to walk the way you talk. No one among us does this perfectly, and though
perhaps trembling, what matters is that we do it to the best of our ability
today, for isn't life really a series of todays strung together in Spirit?
