The Heavy Lifting

Essentially, God does the praying.  “What?” You say!  What about all the talking you do, the mantras, the breathing exercises, the yoga.  All a form of prayer to the God of your understanding.  BUT, what if the God of your understanding is just that, your understanding and not really God at all.  A God that makes you feel good sometimes when you pray, and keeps you sober must have some reality.  If sobriety is a miracle then you did not make it happen.  God id the work. Maybe God simply empowers our ego-centered imagination of divinity until you get it right.  Which is?  Stop trying so hard to make God do something or you to feel good.  Meditate.  Wait.  Be still.  God is at work, is doing all the work, the heavy lifting, while you sit ignoring your mind and imagination.  Prayer does not require you to feel something.  God action prayer is too deep for feelings.  They come later when you get your ego out of the way and do service for others.
