PRAY: The Secret

Did you guys ever read "The Secret" or watch the video? It was given to me several years ago by a family friend and I wish I still had it. Regardless, the concept is basic and memorable.


You are what you attract. The law of attraction is real. I believe in it entirely.


The other night, I had a discussion with a friend about this very idea. It somehow just came to me in that moment and it's not something I've thought about in quite some time.


In very basic terms, if you are someone who is constantly thinking negatively, you're going to have negative things happen to you. If you try to remain optimistic regardless of what comes your way, you will be given things to be optimistic about.


For me, remembering this principle will help me tremendously now. The Bible tells us "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7) This is the law of attraction. We need to live our lives in a manner that will allow what we want, to naturally attract to us.


For me I'm single, yet deep in my heart I do want to re-marry again and have a family. Granted, this all happens in God's perfect timing, but I need to be living my life now in a manner that will attract that AND ask for it. If I want that, but I'm out partying and drinking every weekend, it won't come to me. Makes sense right? Seems so simple, yet how often are we really putting this into play?


I have no shame in admitting that I'm not the "perfect pray-er." I rarely pray. It's something I enjoy doing, talking to God, but I find when I do it relaxes me so much I sleep! Perhaps it's Gods way of giving me what I need since I'm an insomniac :) I know they also say to set aside a specific time each day to spend with God, but I've never been good at that either. I am going to make it a goal of mine for the remainder of the year to ask and seek. I will be specific, yet understand it is all in His timing and not mine.
