Spiritual Prompt for the Week of February 13th to 19th

Summary

The web content presents a spiritual prompt for the week of February 13th to 19th, suggesting that gratitude is more powerful than supplication in prayer, and encourages readers to create and share written works inspired by this message.

Abstract

The website offers a spiritual reflection for the week, questioning the traditional notions of worship and prayer. It challenges readers to consider whether they should worship God and follow religious rules in expectation of their desires being fulfilled, or if they should instead seek to manifest their aspirations through appreciation and gratitude. The prompt quotes Neale Donald Walsch, emphasizing that prayer should be an expression of thanks rather than a request for favors, as gratitude affirms the presence of one's desires. The content invites readers to write a poem, essay, or fiction in response to the quote, suggesting that even those who do not believe in God can engage with the spiritual message. The prompt also requests that any work inspired by it mentions Marcus aka Gregory Maidman and Ravyne Hawke, with a link back to the original prompt.

“The correct prayer is therefore never a prayer of supplication, but a prayer of gratitude. When you thank God in advance for that which you choose to experience in your reality, you, in effect, acknowledge that it is there…in effect. Thankfulness is thus the most powerful statement to God; an affirmation that even before you ask, I have answered. Therefore never supplicate. Appreciate.” ― Neale Donald Walsch, The Complete Conversations with God
