prayers... but sometimes it's NOT the answer that you WANT. He does say NO, because he supposedly knows what's best for you, and has different plans for you.
I also remember a passage that said something along the lines of 'Go into your closets and pray in secret, for those who pray and preach from the pulpit and the street corners have already gotten their rewards. They have been given up to reprobate minds....'
It's the same as each team praying before a ball game. One of them loses, anyways. Does this mean that God chose his favorite, or one team just prayed harder than the other?
I always wonder how such a "Loving, Benevolent God" could allow all of the suffering in the world, or allow an innocent child to be harmed by sick, demented asshole like Denny Basturd, or allow people to go hungry, die of treatable illnesses, etc.
I'm a self-described atheist, but I follow a lot of the tenets of Buddhism, mixed with some Wicca, Paganism and Native American Spirituallity. I am Spiritual, but not religious. I don't subscribe to organized religion. I blazed my own trail, and follow my own Path.
Peace,
Ghost
