This past Sunday was the Global Day of Prayer.

Now before you think I’m getting all religious with this post – I’m not. I’m getting a little spiritual.. and I’m also going to stretch your mind on some abundance mentality.

Global Day of Prayer.

I was kind of intrigued when I heard that people from many walks and faiths were gathering in places big and small to connect with the Source of all living things.

But. (yes… here is my but) I cringed when I saw the video at church on Sunday and heard how people were begging God for mercy.

The idea that God’s mercy is something that is so limited that when we pray, we have to beg for it in order for this God to bestow it upon us is so damaging – so destructive – and downright perverted.

If I was asked to follow a God like that – that I had to reach a certain level of insignificance and self-depravation in order to partake some goodness, I’d reject Him with every fiber of my being. You’d never see me in a church. I’d tell all those fundamental Christians with any similar lack-programming where to go.

There is no force that holds back mercy or any other blessings. They flow in, around, and through us on continual and in increasing ways every single day. No amount of groveling for it, no amount of working super hard, no amount of praying for it, no amount of wishing for it, (ok.. you get the idea) will increase that flow, nor any amount of evil we partake in reduce the flow.

We just need to line our thoughts, our emotions, and our lives up with it to receive it to the extent that we become free.

Anyway. No theological discussion here, but I feel it a great moment to now move on to the real reason for the post.

Riches. (Money, opportunity, healthy relationships, the list goes on)

There is no force that holds these things away from us. They flow in, around, and through us on a continual and in increasing ways every single day. No amount of groveling for it, no amount of working super hard, no amount of praying for it, no amount of wishing for it, (ok.. you get the idea) will increase that flow, and no amount of spending, lack of saving, and poor management will reduce the flow.

We just need to line our lives up with it to receive it to the extent that we become free.

Just so you know.
