Praying and Asking
Posted on April 21, 2020 by Nermine N, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
How to really pray and ask?
One of the most difficult concept to grasp from a human perspective, is the concept of Free Grace.
God does not love us, listen to us, guide us, or answer us BECAUSE we are good, but because HE is benevolent.
His Grace is free of charge, or has already been paid for.
It is because of the Grace that we are inspired to think, and ask, for the good things, not the other way round.
The concept of free grace might be a bit confusing in our current times, where many people talk about the power of visualization, the law of attraction, the magic of co-creation, and much more.
But, there is a certain level of stress involved if one wants to apply these techniques, and this is because one needs to acquire the skills to master them.
Also, one needs to know what one wants, which is equally demanding sometimes.
In other words, you shall receive IF you can visualize, co-create, and so on.
For certain things, it can be easy, while it might be a lot more difficult for others.
I practiced these techniques for a long time in my life and am very acquainted with them.
While I saw my body heal when doctors said it would not, and many other things, I realized that it worked in the aspects of my life where my faith was already strong. But what about the areas where I am weak, feel fear, doubt, or hurt?
How does one go beyond the limiting beliefs?
How does one know what those limiting beliefs are?
It is a great peace of work.
And it can, sometimes, take a lifetime to overcome specific limitations.
Then I remembered God’s Grace is not subject to any conditions.
It is not proportional to my ability to know, or do.
It is simply THERE.
What if, while I pray, I actually don’t need to fully believe in the object of my prayer, but in the One that shall answer it?
What if I can, while I pray, recognize, and remember, that He is all mighty and that his mightiness is not shakened by my limitations?
“Pray as if you already have it”.
Not because you can, you see, and you know, but because HE does.
Doesn’t this lift the pressure and the tension?
He ALREADY gave you His Grace.
Pray while He is the object of the prayer, and not your desire.
Look at Him, and Him only, during the prayer.
Also, when you pray like this, He will give you far beyond your expections, not want you want, but what you need.
And, He will show you what you need along the way.
Remember, we, as humans, don’t grasp the entire mystery, and it’s ok.
But we cannot apply our understanding and knowledge to God’s ways.
They simply work differently.
We live in a world where to get somewhere, or something, yes, one should be competent, which is fair enough.
But this is not the case with GOD.
So forget about your skills when you talk to Him.
Be like a child, remember He said it?
And don’t worry.
Wish you lots of peace, love, and smooth processes.
