I used to think that prayer was a powerful tool.
Many times i prayed for something to occur...and then ....by coincidence?...my prayer was answered.
What started me thinking was a work colleague of mine, who became a good friend.
He was a seventh day adventist.....Basically, he had financial problems...he was talking about an evening when he had advertised a sythensiser in a local paper for about £1,000. He had no phone calls, so he and his wife decided to pray at about 10.30 p.m. ... then low and behold at around 10.45 someone phoned...he came at 11.30, paid cash for the synthesiser. His God had answered his prayer.
I thought to myself, if that was me i would be saying how i had been blessed.
But the point was, that here was a guy, with different beliefs to me who was also getting his 'prayers' answered.
Okay, you can say it was Satan, but he would say the same about my prayers being answered.
So what's it to be....Satan, Jehovah, Allah, Buddah, or may be self fulfilling prophecies....who knows?
What i'm in agreemant with is the fact that if we pray for something to happen, it's a mor than 50/50 chance that it will.
