Tell me does prayer really help is god listening to us?

Once upon at time there were hundreds of gods. Every creek, brook, stream, river, lake, inlet, ocean had a god. Every tree and rock had a god.

Then, there were only a few gods, like the Greeks or Egyptians had.

Abraham brought the idea of a single god.

As you can see, the whole idea of god is approaching it's true nature, zero. That is, there is no god at all.

Now, can prayer help you?

It is imperative that one "believes" in the "doctor" and the "medicine".

Mind over matter. That is, it is all in your mind. If you decide you'd get better after you pray, maybe you will.

Isn't that the "secret" after all, the power of positive thinking.

It is WITHIN YOU to accomplish what you seek. Trust in yourself, that is the source of everything.

However, some find relying on an outside entity such as "god" helpful too.

So, believe in whatever voodoo works for you.

For me, I lean on myself.
