Have you ever felt that God was trying to tell you something but you just weren't getting it? Those moments when you made a choice but the right one keeps coming back at you in different forms? I believe in the power of prayer; I believe in God and his ways of talking to us and answering prayers, albeit not in the traditional sense of reasoning.
I don't believe that prayer should be a template and I don't think that every time we talk to God that it should be asking for something. Sometimes it is just good to talk, the more that you talk things through and search out the answers there is a higher chance of finding the answers that you require; maybe not the answers that you want, but the answers that you require nonetheless.
I have been having a nagging thought that keeps resurfacing for the past several months. I did not act on my thought because I simply pushed it aside as my own "want" for a change and the desire of something more. I convinced myself that because of the situation that I am in is why I start manifesting these thoughts, feelings, and urges. Well needless to say I did not act on them so they were acted upon me. It is funny that every time I have a strong personal need to talk to a particular someone the phone ends up ringing and we talk for hours.
This is not merely a coincidence like saying you were going to call someone and them calling you as you were about to pick up the phone. So it is not a coincidence because I haven't talked to him in ages and it has been longer since I have actually seen him. Our lives in the past few years have traveled in parallels. We are very close ... he is probably the only person I feel the most comfortable with in any situation. So anyway back to parallels. I wouldn't say that we lost contact or that we had a falling out because things are always the same. It has probably been close to a year since our last conversation. But time doesn't change our relationship it actually strengthens the bond.
See this is what I do. I spend so much time on trying to rationalize the meaning that I am oblivious to the obvious truth! It takes an actual concrete, solidifying action in order for the "Aha !" light to go on. I do know the meaning, I do understand the significance but this time the significance is merely one of those messages that says hold on... there shall be more to come later. I think that is exactly what I needed. I know that a lot of people reading this will not know exactly what I am saying because I don't like to go too far into detail. Written and spoken words can be misconstrued but is the impact of my feelings that I am trying to convey.
It is pretty powerful when you get an answer to an unspoken prayer. the answer to the prayer whispered in your soul.
