Leadership Which Knows Our Every Need and How to Meet and Satisfy These Various Needs
The Christian revelation of God is of an all-powerful eternal being, who yet loves all of us by having an intense, personal, and fatherly love. According to Jesus, prière pour le travail this supreme Being, inside (and outside) the cosmos, can be ‘abba’, and the man assures us that ‘every hair on our head has been counted’. Each one of us is uniquely precious for the One who may be the source and origin of other nutritional foods. Imagine that from billions of individual people (living and dead) who may have trod on this world, which itself is a small speck inside a vast universe of potentially huge amounts of other worlds like ours where it’s highly probable that other sentient life exists – that God should ‘keep us in mind’. And even more astounding, that God should give His only Son to become the costly means of saving us from our selves? You couldn’t make it up…
Is the act of praying purely a spiritual function, or is there something more important happening we don’t have knowledge of? What happens to the minds once we pray? If we pray for a person that’s sick, can it issue? If the thoughts are so powerful, then surely it must play a part in pray. We don’t pray in the interests of praying. We pray because something is needed. For Example, a higher student who studied hard and it is still unclear about whether the exam will probably be passed. In this case each student will pray that he is capable to remember what he has learned and the man understands it sufficiently to utilize it for the exam paper. The prayer in this instance would have been to permit the mind to perform at its peak. What is still under debate, is whether or not it really is prayer that helps a student to complete well inside the exam, whether it is affected as they studied hard, or whether it can be a mixture of both.
Personally, I think the president should give James Dobson and his extremist Right Wing “Focus for the Family” Prayer Breakfast rituals which involve government officials a pass. I’d rather see Mr. Obama lead the way educating the electorate toward a naturalistic idea of the way the universe works. It is inconceivable to me and absolutely without evidence to trust that you have a sky god listening for or responding to prayers, pleas or another imprecations from presidents and other humans, on Earth or elsewhere in a cosmos too grand to even imagine. Mr. President – Americans believe lots of crazy things already – help us out here. We can buck up, calm down, stiffen our spines and be humble and civil without begging for help from imaginary friends. If we are to enhance our lot, it’ll be on account of good, honest and noble work – qualities which will be answered naturally (natural consequences), not just a Grand Wazoo within the clouds.
And that’s when I found out that culturally South Africans still find it ridiculous to pay much to get a walk, handed to you personally on the counter, in a paper cup. “Wouldn’t or not it’s much nicer if you are going to spend for expensive coffee to have it served to you personally which has a cup and saucer so you can sit and get it?” But that’s the complete point I exclaimed. You can rush straight into buy your coffee and going. And then she inquired about, “Why are Americans always in such a hurry and what exactly are we so busy doing all the time that we can’t even sit back to savor a cup of joe?”
