Pray for Inspiration

Here’s something interesting that God told me. Sometimes when we pray for inspiration, when we ask God to show us the way, we get an answer that comes from neither God nor the Devil.

Apparently a lot of times prayer works like a form of self-hypnosis. We program our subconscious to work on the problem and, given that God prefers us to work things out without his help, sometimes that’s a lot more effective. So should we skip putting our requests in the form of prayer? He told me that’s up to us. If we’ve spent a lifetime training our brains to know that we want it to work on something by putting that something in the form of a prayer there’s no particular reason to spend time retraining.

So go ahead and program yourself, and if you go to church, listen for good advice but be careful about letting someone else program you for their own reasons.
