The purpose of prayer is not to influence God to grant you special favors, but rather to remind yourself that you are always connected to God.
Wayne DyerWhat you think about expands. If your thoughts are centered on what's missing, then what's missing, by definition, will have to expand.
Wayne DyerThe biggest mistake we make is asking the source to understand scarcity - something that is not! People pray: "Please give me more..." Or, "Please heal me." If you do this, you'll only attract more scarcity into your life. You can't think about what's missing in your life, what you don't like, or what "they" want for you.
