      I feel having watched the lectures, that the intention of my prayers having been guided to be more in control of the Creator in order to fix my problems, so understanding how the intention works when acknowledging a creative force which sustains all life I now know that my prayer was intended in the opposite direction, I can now engage in prayer which has an intention to change me, and throughout the hours after having engaged in prayer, moments of meditation through contemplative inner conversation and inspiring moments in life illuminate in me a correct alteration of how I conduct interactions with others and moments of difficulty.

      By not praying to fulfill egocentric needs. James 4:3 NIV “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”

      Prayer is asking my Higher Power to learn that everything I experience is good for me to grow and learn, as well as to be good and give blessings to others.

      I have said prior that God is not a genie and it’s there just to provide for our wishes however I didn’t have the additional part that intent is more of a key. I have prayed that I will be changed but it has a different understanding now.

      Rather than praying from the idea of requesting to be saved or rescued from a situation I rather not experience, a more beneficial approach would be to perceive the situation from a higher more selfless position in as close to alignment to the creator as I am capable. Pray for the strength to  to deal with whatever occurs in my life from as non judging if a position as possible.

      Realizing that intention is everything. So if I pray for the good of mankind I combine in prayer the logical and common sense thinking with the connection and the good that we feel in the heart for all people. And with the intention of connecting with the Creator to channel the light through me to everyone.
