How often have you prayed and felt your prayer wasn't answered? Did you take action on the unanswered prayer? How did you shift your perception to hear an answer or see the answer? Did you simply pray and then carry on with your life without doing something in the direction of the prayer?
You have heard the statement, "God helps those who help themselves." Now is the time to really understand the meaning of that. Begin by understanding the concept that "God doesn't care." God is nothing but Love and cannot, no matter how hard we try, do anything other than Love. This energy called "God" does not care if you are rich or poor, working or not working, sharing or not sharing. God does not care if you have a new car or new boat. God does not care if you are happy or sad, grieving or celebrating. Know now, God does not care - the energy of creation does not have the ability to judge your circumstance.
I am not saying, "Do not pray." I truly believe in prayer. But prayers can only be answered when you are willing to hear your prayer, believe that the prayer has activated Universal Energy, and agree to do your part in bringing about the petition you have made. Yes, often we get in the way of creating our good because we do not let the flow of activation move smoothly. We continue to push, or question our worth in having the prayer come true. There are times when surrender is required. But surrender is not giving up, which so often happens. We pray. The miracle doesn't happen in 24 hours, and so we say, "I surrender" and completely give up. It is not God who has not answered your prayer. It is you who has pushed your good away. True surrender is to let go of attachment to the actual outcome of the prayer, to know a Higher Power within you is directing the creation for your highest good. Often what we think we want is small in comparison to what the Universe wants for us. When we try to control the outcome too much, we lose the full gift of a miracle.
If you believe you deserve a thing, call upon the Universe for help, then take time each day to review that prayer, ask how you can be of service to the petition, follow your heart (not your head), taking small guided steps toward the creation of your desire. You cannot lose faith, either in yourself or the Universe.
Know that you are the creation, the power of creation lies within you, and you do deserve your desires, when they "create more for all and less for none". Know that the Energy of God can only work through you. You must stay present to your desires, detached from the actual outcome, but always focused on the feeling having your desire will create.
We ask for "stuff" in our prayers, but essentially we know it is not the specific thing we want. It is the feeling that comes with our idea of having something. We believe material goods solve our problems, but in reality it is the feeling that comes with a material thing that makes us smile, creates a better life, or solves the problem. The thing itself is just a symbol. Feelings are all that matter in the end.
Often our prayer is for selfish or less than creative means. These prayers are not of a loving nature. The Energy of God cannot intervene in deliverance. Those prayers are answered by a lower self and will always bring a consequence of pain and suffering. I urge you to stay away from this idea of creation.
So too, when our motives are not from a place of total love, we find our prayers and dreams are slow to manifest. Speed of creation comes from a high vibration. A high vibration comes from a place of desiring the highest and best for all in the world. When we come from a place of love our prayers are almost instantly gratified.
Begin to pay attention to what you are asking for, how you are asking for it, and how you are being in the flow of the creation of your desire. You are the creator. You are the one who can care about others, about life. That is your purpose. You were created to be that which God cannot be, in order to be that experience for the Energy that created you.
"Ask and it shall be given."
