When I was younger, I spent a lot of time praying about things that I thought I needed in my life but never seem to receive. As a Christian, I was taught that God only gives things to people, that they really need them. God always knows best and will answer your prayers, only if it will benefit you.
Now what about the prayers when I was younger that got answered. I would often thank God for a wonderful day and ask for another. I was a little greedy, I have to admit it. At the end of the next day, I would repeat the process by thanking God for allowing me to have another wonderful day. Now what about the days that weren't very good. I would still thank God and pray sincerely in the hope that tomorrow would be a better day, than today.
When I stopped praying, I didn't notice much of a difference in my daily events. I had good days and I had bad days, just like before. I was starting to wonder if God was actually paying attention to me while I was praying. That was when I went in to test prayer mode. I would pray for things that I could accumulate, like cars, houses, vacations and of course money. When I didn't receive them, I figured that God knew best and I would quit wasting my time praying for things that God would give me, when he knew that I truly needed them, because God knew what was best.
I went for a long period of time without praying, (while on test prayer mode) and didn't seem to notice much of a difference in my life. I changed my prayers to affirmations and soon started to see a radical shift in my life. I would say an affirmation like," I attract abundance into my life". It might sound kind of corny but I did it for about a year.
I started to make more money, my relationships started to show signs of improvement and I seen abundance everywhere, with the exception of the casino of course. Did this affirmation really bring change in the my life and does praying work? I don't really know if one works better than the other.
I would like to make a point however, with all the information I've gathered on my journey through life, I'm starting to believe in the power of our minds. If you sincerely and honestly believe in daily affirmations, you will attach your beliefs to any events that take place in your life and give your affirmations for credit for these events. The same holds true with prayer, if you believe in something strong enough, you will start to see it everywhere and in everything.
Your mind is extremely powerful and can create reality out of your beliefs.
