A Prayer by Heart





-MARTIN LUTHER-


prior to eating, before sleeping, upon waking up, appreciating something, wishing for some stuffs and et cetera, PRAYERs help us to make each day meaningful.  an imaginary request that is made to the Almighty in hope that he will listen and hopefully grant us what we wish for. however not all wishes are being granted. people say, almighty have his own plan for EACH individual on what he should get.
Q : why he create all of us and be bothered about what EACH of us should get or not get?
A : errrrrrmm….
it is always hard to create bunch of people and further more grant them wishes that they ask in line with their pre-destined fate. each of human mind desires for materialistic wishes, and some are not. both can be bad or good. to evaluate it, then to think which wish to grant to which people for certain individual’s goodness is mind baffling. it is complicated, right?
Q : so , how does God keep track of each individuals good deed and grant them their wishes?
A : errrmmmmm
Q : what is His ultimate reason for creating ONLY human as his devotees and “one-sidedly” fulfiling our wishes? ( be reminded animals doesnt pray, and that doesnt make them anonimous in the eyes of almighty ) 
A : errrmmmmm
to all human questions about religion and its fundamentals, we could not answer it spesifically, at least i admit i cant answer most of religious questions. in general people would answer it as, “God’s ultimate plan” Eye rolling smile . most of us would try to answer the questions above from your own belief and thinking, which fortifies his/her own religion without sensing the facts and truth about it. you will try to convince and tell yourself answer that does not create any doubt about religions to you. or at least,  it is for you to coax yourself that, the religion that you were relying on all these years will not disappoint you and it is  not fake. well, not your fault. it is the humans' defensive nature where avoiding questions that can quake your very foundations and answering them in a way that can satisfies YOU and only YOU. but what about mind baffling conspiracies and facts-defying questions about religion? it just get blown away. although religion makes so much confusions, it is undeniably the biggest industry that worth multi billion dollars without strong economical reason or material. all it takes is just BELIEVE.

it make more sense to me,  when you 'pray' to your heart, to your parents, to your friends where you know some change will occur and some effort is evident rather than making a false hope and keep counting on it without effort. an effortless prayer is easy but to initiate effort to make your wish come true is hard and does not rely on God. 




if all prayers are being granted, no one will appreciate the life as it is. and if you know not all prayers will be granted, why bother praying in the first place?


rather than praying to an imaginary figure, pray to yourself, to your people that surrounds you. make clear statements and prayers that does not only hope about something. pray for the effort in you, do not pray for miracle. pray for motivation in you, not luck and sudden happiness. it will be more practical and fulfilling. more like an appreciation or promise to evidential living creatures.
