It's Personal

Whatever your background, I expect that you have attempted to pray to the Higher Being or

Creator. Right? For whatever reason, you tried to connect to God of Abraham, Isaac, and

Jacob (if Jewish), or Allah (if Muslim), or Jesus (if Christian), or one or several of the gods

(if Hindu), or perhaps Buddha (if Buddhist). Very sorry if I left out others. 

Prayer is personal. Most of us go into seclusion to pray unless of course we are with family or 

a group of people to pray about someone or something. Maybe you have felt so down and 

things have been going so badly or maybe your heart aches for another, maybe that person

is very ill or you are very ill. It's not unusual for people to ask for prayer for themselves or

for others. 

Does God only hear from Jews or Noahides? Of course not! All people from where ever they

are, who ever they are, are children of God. He knows us better then we know ourselves!

He will not turn His back on you because you are this religion or that religion. 

Prayer is personal. Prayer is a close connection to our Creator. 

However, some people "use" God. They only pray when things are rough. They forget that He

is there with them every day and every night. Praying to God on a daily basis and thanking 

God for what you have brings you even closer to Him. Thank Him for the food you eat,

thank Him for the spouse you have, thank Him for the shelter you have, thank Him for the

clothes and various needs you have, and thank Him for good health and the list goes on! 

Our prayers mean a lot. I imagine that peoples' prayers are lifted, floating upward to heaven.

What beautiful stories I have heard from various people telling of how their prayers 

were answered. Finding a true love, healings, all kinds of wonderful answers. 

Prayer is personal, but do know that some prayers may seem unanswered. This is not true.

I believe that He answers every prayer...but maybe not in the way you want Him to. 

Isaiah 55, 8 and 9  (Chabad.org)

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," says the Lord.

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts [higher] than your thoughts."
