PRAYING
   No matter what your faith is, from time to time throughout your life you will find yourself praying to someone for help in times of trial and need. 'Faith can move mountains' is a saying that we are brought up with and over the years, I have found this to be a true philosophy...it really can do wondrous things if you 'believe' and 'trust'...if you have FAITH.

   It doesn't matter who or what your belief is in, just that you BELIEVE for it to work. Words have power and the strength of the will that you put behind the words also has power. The power of your belief will make the words that you speak have the power to bring those utterances into reality if you have the FAITH to believe in what you are trying to do.

   Try it for yourself and you might be surprised at the results. Everyone needs to believe in something. There is an emptiness within us that needs to be filled. A void, waiting for fulfillment. FAITH in a creator, a higher being, a higher power that is there to help and heal us will fill that void and bring you the inner peace that you seek. You have only to ASK, with your mind and from your heart,  to be answered. Prayers are the way that we do this. It does not have to be verbally correct, or poetic, just speak from your heart and your spirit will be answered.

   Sometimes the replies are not in a form that we are expecting. The answers may be in a simple form such as a leaf falling from a tree, a chance meeting with someone, a wrong turn while out driving in the car that will take you to somewhere you need to go. The answers to our prayers come in many forms. We simply need to keep ourselves tuned, ready to receive the answers when they come, alive to the possibilities as they are presented to us. It is so easy that a lot of people find it difficult. Stop looking for the catch, for the hidden meaning behind it all.. have faith..believe..and you will have inner peace.
