I had the insight tonight and the other day that it is such a blessing to get to pray. Things go wrong and we feel its because we didn’t pray. We wrongfully assume, due to our guilt, that God is punishing us for not praying. It’s not that he is punishing us. It’s simply that things fall apart by nature. Entropy is the normal flow of things. Destruction is natural, it takes a divine spark for things to stay together and become ordered. This is why we pray. Its actually a blessing that we get to do it. It’s not an obligation, it’s a plea to the Divine Order for power and help in making things go well in our lives.
