For the past many years I have given up praying or any thoughts of prayer. I know this will seem shocking to many, but I have come to learn that the only prayer that has any substance is "I want what God wants." Period. The end.
The Universe has a ruling sequence that is the cause and affect...and I have seen the choreographing of lessons and life experiences that were all used to set me free to be me. There is no part of my journey you could take out and call useless.
It was all perfectly perfect for me.
There were moments that I was blown away by what IT was asking of me, the sheer madness it seemed...only to have revealed to me my strength, courage and success at accepting what is.
Bowing to the flow of free will...and seeing the consequences of my choices.
I truly am left prayer less. What can I possibly pray for that God doesn't already want?
I love that I can stand behind the mystery and magic, like a huge organically moving Art piece and know that our free will is painting our lives. We act and IT responds.
It never fails.
The Universe has delivered to me the exact and perfect answer often before I ask the question.
Deepak Chopra says, to put your intention out there and then let it go.
It is the letting go, removing your needs, desires and wishes. To not try and control that which you have no control over.
What I have learned, when each of my limited desires were not fulfilled, is that I was given what I needed in order to grow and heal. I had to walk into places and out of relationships to know what love is. I never walked alone.
My small self was often in battles with my soul.
The Universe only serves the soul.
My personality often balked at the needs of the soul. Eventually my soul outgrew my little self.
I think we can see life through two eyes...our personality and our soul.
What is good for the soul often feels like hell to the personality.
I love that the Universe backs my soul!
