Beautiful post, seanjohn. That's my opinion aand experience. Your post made my day. Prayer has answers for those seeking truth. We may find many resources within ourselves, but it's my belief that there is a real God Who is the mastermind behind the workings of the universe. It's evident in the unchanging laws of physics that we can rely upon. I know all answers to prayer don't come from within myself. It truly is the connection to the God source that brings the answers of truth and how we need to live our lives--physically, mentally and spiritually.
There is so much brainwashing and drugging out there that most have lost sight of the God source. I am sure it's US who do the cutting off from all source of truth and good. The God source is always there for those who open up their minds and their willingness to seek truth and a higher existence in relation to Creator God in their life. When we seek truth and open up our mental channels of scceptance, truth will become evident when we ask for it. I think the more we accept truth, the more we aply it to our lives and share it, the more we will change the collective conscousness of people out there who have lost sight of it.
