Just thought I would add..(all is what I experience and have seen and have practiced for decades).
Sometimes people have these wacky ideas that God blocks our wishes and our prayers.
Huh? This whole Universe is about creating, expressing, growing expanding...there is nothing wrong if we want
a red convertible, a better job, a great relationship, wealth , health ---whatever it is.
But it can be us - our thoughts and beliefs that can block something from manifesting.
And if one thinks of God as a Spiritual Being, your Creator and Father ---why would he NOT want His child to have what he wants?
If you look at Jesus' mission that started in Matthew as he walks out of the wilderness after 40 days fasting...
it is very telling. He says he does only his Father's Will...well, he said he came for us to have an abundant life
(John 10:10) and that meansin happiness (not just money)..but in all ways.
He taught us not to worry, what faith can do, ( oh my did he ever!!), and how to ask, believe and receive.
And how to also 'say' something into happening...not just ask.
So keep your mind clear ..."You can be and do and have anything you want." Abraham-Hicks
(That is good and kind and wholesome ...Never wish to rob a bank successfully...not part of the deal...)
