How can I connect with God in the information age? Can I email God with my prayers for peace and love in the word?

 



God is inside you.

Instead of finding a way to communicate with God, I would suggest you keep praying. Praying every morning can help you to reduce stress and think clearly. Prayer is the act of surrendering oneself to God. It helps a person grow out of his own limitations, helplessness, and a sense of insecurity. We surrender ourselves to the feet of the Lord realizing that it is the only way to touch the universal consciousness. The importance of prayer in our daily life should never be underestimated.

The purpose of prayer is not to demand or beg from God — I don’t have a job, so I want a job or I don’t have a child, so I want a child. Demanding or begging to fulfill one’s wants and desires will definitely limit our human efforts. It slowly leads to lethargy and dependency by making one feel that effort is not necessary and all that one needs to do is to pray to God to fulfill one’s desires.

Once, a young boy who had lost the use of both his legs literally dragged himself on the floor and prostrated before me. I was sympathetic towards him and said, “This is most unfortunate as you will be limited in your ability to go around and explore the world.” To this, he replied, “Mam, I may not have legs, but God has blessed me with two hands which I use to create paintings. Now, I don’t need to go anywhere. Instead, people from far away places come to see me and appreciate my works. For this gift, I am thankful to the Lord.”

  Wedding / Marriage Inspiration “A soul mate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soul mate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soul mate is the one who makes life come to life.” From The Bridge Across Forever by Richard Bach. Prayer May you never take each other for granted but always experience the wonders of your union. May your love consist not only in gazing into each other’s eyes, but also in looking outward in the same direction. May your life together be a source of strength and ...
