It was just another examination morning till the time I went to pray after my bath. For me praying has been a ritual, I mean reason I prayed was because I believed there was strength, a force that was beyond our reasoning and science. I am spiritual but not really religious.
What was new about praying today? I prayed for once “Let me get what I deserve”.
I finished my prayers and remembered I hadn’t prepared that well for my exams. I had to finish four more chapters of my portions and what did I utter to my god almighty “Let me get what I deserve!!”
I have never thought so far whether my prayers have been heard by GOD but I prayed.
I have prayed for my father when he was not doing well.
I prayed for my brother when he was getting married. “Oh God Save Anna!!” Just kidding. It was a usual prayer to keep him healthy and prosperous with Anni, nothing else intended.
I have prayed for my friends.
I remember a prayer from school. Some how I picked up this one line from the prayer. Guess being in my adolescence this one line appealed to me. It said “Oh lord, lead us not into temptations but deliver us from evil”. I prayed for happiness around me.
Recently I have been praying for Ashwin.
My prayer has been simple so far.
The prayer for today came from no where. I feel the today’s prayer meant I would be prepared for anything that would come my way. I was as though asking: Give me whatever I work for; bless me with whatever I deserve. I have never believed in fate. Believing in fate means as a person you are not in control of your life.
When we pray we are most of the times greedy in what we want. Having asked for what I deserve makes me feel like a king. Someone who can have what he needs.Again I hope it is not just the state of mind. I don’t want to find this feeling to be one of those mood swings. I hope I can pray like this all day.
I am just feeling like sitting in the cockpit. Full control!!
By the way I phod phaded the exam today. Didn’t know I deserved this much!!!

Hi JC,
ur blog are really good, when i login to yahoo, first thing i will lookinto is , is there any new blog today.
anyway, i come to the point. i dont believe in prayer, since whatever things going to happen has to happen anyway, then why we have to pray , did the power almighty will listen and change the things, i will say No. its just a satisfaction for our mind. so can we pray or not, i will say , we can if u find that is the solution for the problem or the puzzle which is before us.
have a nice day

@crashed

@babu
none of our action is done without a payoff. The reason why we pray is to find peace, have control on ourself and fear for wrong doings. There might be other reasons as well...
keep reading the blogs and keep telling me what u feel
