When I pray
Am I expecting a miracle? No, I don't think so.
Praying for things like money, success etc aren't things that truly matter in the grand scheme of life.
My prayers are usually just good wishes and asking God to help in whatever way he can make something a little easier to bear for someone/thing.
My step-sister is home dying. I haven't prayed that she not die, I have prayed that he help her the best he can in her transition, and more important, the people who will be left behind.
Is he going to take all of our pain away? No, he wont, but he may send someone who can help.
My animal is sick. Am I praying he make him better? No, I'm praying he help comfort him while he's hurting. That could be as simple as me buying him a new bed because the thought popped in my head, but came from elsewhere.
And last....
Sometimes Gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
Feel me?
