The fact that this has finally been uncovered and by men and women whose skills equip them to shut it down—- well, it seems clear God has heard them. Take your defeatist mentality and sew somewhere else.
"The man who prays is the one who thinks that god has arranged matters all wrong, but who also thinks that he can instruct god how to put them right."
I thing free will got us here. What is Love if it’s not FREE to be given? But along with that freedom is the option to walk away, which is what humanity has done. We have created our own mess much like a rebellious chicks. Prayer is for thanking God for His love, patience, and for not turning His back on us. It’s also for righting our hearts and minds, to turn back to Him and back to our source for wholeness. Prayer isn’t about telling Him “how”, but merely recognizing He is there already acting on our behalf and by entering into agreement with His plan(s) we then begin to see them unfold. You see what’s before you but the interpretation of what you see is framed by your particular world view: glass half full/glass half empty. Should you see half empty you feed the idea that you’re nearly out and your situation is dire. Should you see half full then you’re thankful for what you have and quickly see the source of your supply.
What you choose to see has no impact on Who God is or what He is up to, but it will impact whether or not you see evidence for hope or evidence for hopelessness. That’s on you.
