Agnostic At Prayer

 Some people say that they are agnostics because when they prayed they felt nothing.  So they assumed that nothing was “out there.”  Thus they are unsure of a god or power or whatever.  They want sensible piety, feeling.  They do not yet know about purification and dryness.  They will believe only if they get some kind of buzz.  It is like the alcoholic who believes alcohol works for them because they get some kind of buzz.  Until they don’t.  Then they realize that the buzz was a false path.  Prayer is not about buzz.  It is about change, your change as a person.  I have seen people become quite complete and full as a person who feels not much of anything when they pray.  But they keep praying.

  1. While I may not feel anything while praying, there is always a better day ahead because I do and chatting/turning it over throughout the day with God/Love sure let's me know I'm not alone.💫💖
