We all are taught that we must pray to god, especially in the times of need and Occidentals find it depending on someone else for something which you should be doing yourself. I agree, we should believe in what we can do instead of leaving the Karma to God. However, I want to mention here is that prayer is to thank for what we already have received not to ask for what more we need. We have a tendency to look at what we do not have and ignore what we already have. That is why most of the people live a life of discontentment. If we start looking at what we already have, we would realize that we already have what all we need. We look at a person for what he does not have as per us and that is why any relation fall. Few days back a girl came to me, who was going through marital problems. I asked her to be thankful about the qualities she liked in her husband and she did same. It changed her focus immediately. After few days, things started changing in her life, her positive thoughts started bringing positive changes in her life. her relationship also started improving. Being thankful for what we have lets us focus with love and we are able to fill up everything with that positive energy of love. God has always been giving and least we can do is we can thank him. If you do not want to offer any other prayers, atleast be thankful for what you have, all that is needed to bring a positive change in your life.
