It should be made clear that I do not mean to discredit Dear God. He has done an amazing thing by giving us our lives. This also is not meant to discredit anyone’s religion. My only hope is that in reading this it might help strengthen your own respective faiths.

Part Zero: Introduction

Many people approach prayer as a personal, often solitary, act. Where people mistake is thinking in doing so that something magical such as winning the lottery will occur. Even God only gives to those who truly deserve it and in a way which will actually involve you taking action for the prayer response to be realized.

I firmly believe prayers are answered in opportunities which require you to act. This is the purpose of this article: Stating what I am asking God for to see which opportunities He presents me with. You too can learn from this article based on the insights I present to you, so it's not just me talking about my own ego.

This article outlines my personal belief in the soul's connection to God, the potential for harnessing divine energy, and my specific requests for guidance and assistance.

What I believe in

I believe that true divine guidance often manifests in the form of opportunities that require our active participation in order to come into fruition.

Prayer isn't merely a wish list. Rather, it is a metaphysical dialogue with the divine, a partnership where we must actively participate, otherwise it won't work. I believe that prayers are answered through opportunities, and it's up to us to recognize and seize them as we see fit.

Part I: The Soul and Divine Energy

I firmly believe that the soul is a metaphysical entity within our minds, a part of God's energy that gives us life. It is the soul that, through the subconscious, directs our bodies and minds. This divine intervention is evident in the complexities of life and humanity's existence. Our intelligence, the ability to understand and learn, can be seen as a direct product of the soul.

Jesus was the humanitarian act of the purest form of love. A human giving up their life for all of humanity. His energies can be seen as more of Godly, AKA, divine, than that of many people. We can learn from this, probably, that each and every of us are interconnected to the divine, but in our own respective ways, some more than others, but the soul still being part of divine energy nonetheless.

On Good, Evil, and the Afterlife

I believe that the nature of our souls, good or evil, determines our destination after death. A life of good deeds attracts us to the source of that goodness, while negative actions lead us elsewhere.

The nature of our souls is influenced by our thoughts and actions. Those who focus on goodness and positivity will be drawn to a similar energy after death, while those who dwell on negativity will be attracted to a different force.

In essence, we all carry a piece of God within us, and our choices determine where that piece will ultimately reside.

Part II: Harnessing Divine Energy and Opportunities

In a way, we all have a little slice of God within us all. That little slice will go towards whatever energy is on your mind. Either way, you vibrate energy, that may alter based on the ways you think and behave.

Negative energy from doing horrible deeds will attract you towards the energy opposite of God’s. If you want to end up in the right place, all you have to do is devote your life towards getting other people to want to save themselves from the evil that resides in humanity, and thus, in themselves as well. 

I believe that we can harness the divine energy within us to create "miracles" in our lives. These miracles often manifest as opportunities that present themselves to us. Free will allows us to accept or reject these opportunities. Hence, for the sake of not missing the help God is sending you, try to always be open-minded about doing every possibility.

PART III: Embracing My Divine Purpose

To demonstrate this principle, I will share my own prayer requests and the divine opportunities that have arisen in response. I am blessed with my neurological condition, bipolar disorder, which has both challenges and advantages. I seek God's guidance in using my experiences to help others and in managing the emotional intensity that comes with my condition.

My Personal Journey

I embark on this journey with gratitude for the life God has bestowed upon me. By sharing my intentions with the divine, I hope to attract opportunities that align with my wishes for a better world.

My bipolar genetics, characterized by hyperthymia and occasional unipolar mania, are a unique gift. I aim to leverage these experiences to help others who may be facing similar challenges.

I seek divine guidance in managing the intensity of my emotions, enabling me to sustain myself more effectively. The beginning of any project I pursue is quite the thrilling time. By my understanding of things I simply seize the opportunities I am given by the divine.

God, please reveal the way I am meant to utilize my intelligence. Given my remarkable intellectual abilities, I believe my purpose is to contribute to a deeper understanding of humanity. It is personally why I enjoy writing for Philosocom.

My Pleas to God

• Divine Guidance and Wisdom: Grant me understanding and wisdom to utilize my intelligence effectively.

  
  

• Positive Impact: Help me create a more just and and less-unfair world.

  
  

• Strength of Convictions: Strengthen my resolve to uphold my beliefs.

  
  

• Intelligence for Good: Guide me to use my intelligence solely for good. I wish to avoid using it for my own or merely for someone else's personal gain.

  
  

• World Preparation: Prepare the world to receive the knowledge that can bring about positive change.

  
  

• Limited Worldview: Inspire people to recognize the limitations of past worldviews, and open their minds to innovative perspectives on reality.

  
  

• Value of Intelligence: Encourage others to use their intelligence to its fullest potential.

  
  

• Divine Energy: Help me tap into the divine energy within me and harness it for the greater good.

  
  

• Transcending the Curent Human Condition: Inspire people to strive for a better future and recognize the power of God within them.

Conclusion

Through prayer and action, I believe that we can tap into the divine energy within us and experience remarkable transformations. By seeking God's guidance and remaining open to the opportunities He presents, we can live more fulfilling lives.

By sharing these requests publicly, I hope to invite divine opportunities into my life and to yours as well. I believe that through faith, action, and an open mind, I can fulfill my purpose and make a positive impact on the world. I believe you can do this too.

I believe that through faith, action, and a deep connection with the divine, we can all improve this world, together.

Inquiry: A Food for thought

As I strive to contribute to a deeper understanding of humanity, I wonder: Who do you turn to for guidance in your own journey? Is it a higher power, a mentor/master, or perhaps a combination of both?

Who helps you to see the change you want to see in this world?
