A Strange PrayerDear Lord I the self searching illusion has seen and experienced the outer worldrelationshipssuccess and failuretrue friends strangers and backbiters.I lived the different emotionsduring different seasonsI witnessed ups downsenjoyed love hatewas good badfaced beauty ugliness.There were times when I was bravethere were times when I was a coward.There were times when I was proactivethere were times when I was indecisive.After flying high in the skiesand yet being a loser...After being nothing no oneand yet feeling content..I have understood the differencebetween lust and lovehappiness and sadnessselfishness and selflessness.One often leads to anotheranother secretly carries the oneYet I am lostbetween being and becoming.An inner voice admits thatmy heart is an unexplored realmmy mind is a prisoner to my wishful thinkingand the soul is unknown to me.Setting that unknown free... now this is my heartiest wish.As Saurabh Sharmathe human beingIalwayspray to thee O lord set me free.I dont want loveI dont want to be lovedI want myself to be love itself now.That beautiful silent and divine existence...I want to get merged into that.Please give me wisdom and courage Merge me into your supreme kingdom by setting my soul free.

Whenever you cant balance what you see with what you believe you have conflict.

Never mistake the uncomfortable feeling of insecurity and the fear of the unknown with the Holy Ghosts promptings. Sometimes those feelings are simply Satan keeping you stuck where you are because he knows you will have a half-life there. He knows that you will spend half of your life disconnected discontented and convincing your mind of what its heart will never accept. He knows when you have settled gave up and didnt try. Inaction is his greatest weapon while regret is his second.

People will tell you that youre broken. Dont believe them. They were not the person that could help you. They have not walked your path. God has got a plan to bring people into your life that have lived through a similar hell. In the end it isnt the number of people that are on your side. It is the people that understand what your side is that matters.

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time only a dream. Just as the oak sleeps in the acorn and the bird waits in the egg so dreams are the seedlings of realities.

Grandpa had made the Lord seem so real I wouldnt of been surprised if hed said good night to Him. But after a long pause he just said a-men.

We do not pray to inform God of our needs because He knows what we need before we ask.What is prayer like for youIs it a religious ritual that you perform out of habitIs it a spiritual discipline that you practice because you want to be the best Christian you possibly can beIs it a mechanism by which you can bring your shopping list to God in order to have your needs metOr are you running to meet your Lover to commune with Him hungering to find your joy in Him and to be fulfilled in His presence

Gratitude heals cleanses and purifies.

Its the most essential thing of all just because its not a matter of how you do it at all but of whether you do it. Like being born or cooking how you do it is less important than whether you do it. You can find thousands of books on prayer that give you methods of praying hundreds of hows but they do you no good at all unless you actually pray. Otherwise its like reading a cookbook instead of cooking. You cant eat a cookbook

The instant you take the lead in the tug-of-war with your ego enlightenment becomes your state of being.
