"Focusing good intent and good energy in one aspect of life, or self"
I think that's a beautiful way to describe some prayers Indigio, those that might be gentler and more thoughtful than the "fervent" ones I described. I was just so happy to have someone two inches from my face (in the dentist's chair) answering all of my concerns unexpectedly that I was absolutely euphoric (and not from laughing gas--I don't use it
)
I feel that we are not alone, that we are loved and cared for in our darkest moments, our most child-like, or even at our most "unloveable" and that prayer is always answered. I don't believe God is a "director" of our lives but my understanding of "God" is that we are part of an amazing expression of creative force, and that this incomprehensible "Creator" cares about "His/Her" creations more than we can know, from our smallest utterances to our greatest longings to our deepest fears....we are beautiful just as we are, precious and loved, and happiest when we remember it.
All the best to you always,
love, blink
