THE PERKS OF SNAIL MAIL

Thought Adjuster: “Much is being expressed to the Father in prayers. There are prayers of despair, prayers of hope and wishful thinking, prayers of gratitude, and prayers of pure worship. Genuine prayer is not a one-way street but a spiritual roundabout, colored with the undertones of Love in Action.

In your times of need, anguish, and grief, it may feel like help isn't coming soon enough and that your urgent calls for help go unanswered, which can add to your pain. Your prayers are SOS (Save Our Souls) emergency broadcasts addressed to the Omnipotent One.

At times, you need to realize that no answer is an answer in and of itself. In His Wisdom, the Father does not rush the process if it were to be detrimental to your highest good. A silent pause provides you with a valuable opportunity for reflection and introspection that you would overlook if the solution fell into your lap promptly and effortlessly.

Reflect on the life’s crises when you felt utterly alone and abandoned by all—moments when the Father used ‘snail mail’ rather than ‘express mail’ to come to your rescue. What did the delays teach you? In many cases, they prompted you to be resourceful and to rely on yourself rather than on others. “God helps those who help themselves.” Nothing less should be expected. Wise parents teach their pupils to stand on their own, as they may not always be at their beck and call once they have left the natal nest.

The Father does not ‘ignore’ your petitions. He may give you ample time to figure things out, as hardships act as a Petri dish for deeper introspection or lifesaving ‘shock therapy’ that shakes you out of your unproductive complacency. All prayers get answered. Why not express gratitude right now for their positive outcome? It will help you remain upbeat, hopeful, and appreciative, which is the best operative platform for your life.”
