I was taught as you were. Sunday school, the whole thing. I'm 47yrs old.

I believe more in a type of karma now, more than traditional teaching.

I still believe some entity started something somewhere, the cosmos didn't just happen.

I think you touched on a lot of things I agree with, like religion helps people to deal with things by giving us hope and faith.

When I pray or ask for something, it makes the wish real and valid in my mind. Chanting does this as well.

Traditional Reggae music is most appealing to me, as they chant and give thanks and praise to Jah.

I was displaced in Vermont for 8 years and prayed and asked to go home for years, and here I am, in Florida, home.

There's a great book I read about asking for the things you want, and doing it effectively. Kind of modified, modern prayer. This helped me last in VT 'till the opportunity to move home came around.

I found it...$9.99 at Amazon, it's a small sized book - top seller:

The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life

There's 557 reviews here:

I'm sorry you are being challenged so greatly. I will be thinking about you, and asking for help for you.



Just saw this: Temporarily out of stock.
