I put it out there to Them and if it's justified, it seems to be taken care of. That doesn't mean I don't still have to work for it on a mundane level, but you can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket!<br /><br />The most recent example for me is I need money to publish a book I've been writing. I have decided to self-publish after seeing a friend get so upset and disheartened when she couldn't even title her own book or choose the font or the cover picture. I put it to my Gods that if this book is meant to be, I need the money for it. Within hours I had a payment from a website I write for that was more than I'd received from them in the last 2 years. A week later, I was accepted to write for another paying website.<br /><br />My path is clear, writing is obviously what I'm meant to be doing and I now have two opportunities to earn the money to publish my book.Debbie Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165633698868069538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754601570054361358.post-33820113804116436392012-12-19T05:06:30.501+11:002012-12-19T05:06:30.501+11:00"Service" (I believe) is indeed THE VERY..."Service" (I believe) is indeed THE VERY HIGHEST form of "worship" one can engage in. <br />E.g. One could potentially rise every day before dawn, spend an hour in pious "worship," and then go about their day treating everyone else with disrespect, condescension, and plain old selfishness.<br />I offer a prayer known to me as The 11th Step Prayer (also & originally known as The Prayer of St. Francis):<br />"Lord, make me a channel of thy peace--that where there is hatred, I may bring love--that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness--that where there is discord, I may bring harmony--that where there is error, I may bring truth--that where there is doubt, I may bring faith--that where there is despair, I may bring hope--that where there are shadows, I may bring light--that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted--to understand, than to be understood--to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12156115226889118994noreply@blogger.com
