God I know you are almighty and present in me, my life, and run it for me. Forgive me if I offend you. My intent is not to do so. The objective is to capture my understanding of your procedure, which might humanize you a tad bit.
God has defined a procedure almost one similar to Six Sigma. Some call this procedure the COPIS others SIPOC. Confused..well yes that is one of characteristics similar in God's Procedure as well.
The procedure starts with the your karmas as input and output as your current action, environment, emotions, people around you, your earnings and so on. Name it and the relation is directly to what you had put into your past life.
God can now only watch this whole story play out. God can't do much neither the male form or the woman form. The situation is similar to when we watch a movie, we can only shed tears or laugh. We cannot control the events in the movie or what is happening to the actors. Sometime, we get attached to a character and find is difficult to see the character in trouble. Whatever our emotion or feeling or desire for the character we can only watch because the story will play out the way it is designed.
In the sense of watching a movie without being able to control events, God's situation is similar to ours. While God might love us, like us, she cannot change what is happens to us. Happy moments, sad moments, tough moments, all happen as they have been defined in your karma book.
Imagine if God were to intervene then she might lose a character and modify the story. She might have to even give moksha to the character. Changing the characters role will leave God with less or shorter movie to watch.
God's procedure is automated even better than what the best of IT's company's can achieve with advanced technologies. The program is running and cannot be paused or diverted. This is the truth.
Then where does prayer fit in all this automated system. How can prayer simply modify or intervene the program and change the course of events. Honestly, if I use the reality around me to evaluate this, the answer that comes to my mind is it cannot. Praying is probably an illusion, anchor, or a shade in the journey for which the end is already determined. Praying probably simply gives us hope for the next day and the next day that if times are tough then God might do something and change them. By praying I might for a moment detach myself from moments of stress, pain, happiness and transpose into a world of nothingness.
Prayer regenerates the strength within you by creating a false hope. Prayer is a faith that we want to believe. God has never directly told me that prayer will take away or reduce your troubles, or detach you from happiness and troubles.
Faith in God was me. For many many years, I prayed to God and believed for sure that she will answer my prayers, I did not lie, I did not do anything bad to anyone, I did whatever I heard, and what my soul believed will keep me next to God. Things changed and then slowly my faith was tested during tough times. In these times, God took longer than usual to answer my prayers. On one side I was struggling to survive the tough situation, on the other side my faith, my strength was weakening. Managing the emotional and logical outcome of both these situations was challenging. I so wanted to stick to my faith. I so wanted for God to appear to me in the form I have seen her all my life and tell me that I am with you. None of this seems to happen. The journey through dark waters seems to be unending.. I turning blind to any kind of positive situation, things change like crazy and my honesty does not work.
Values, such as honesty, no cunningness, no playing games, and working hard, that had been engraved in my soul, I believed were the right way to move ahead in life and gain success, happiness, and remain next to God. None of these seem to hold any ground today. These have been shaken up and my foundation is completely shaking. I can't make out where to stand, and no one seems to be of help either. The reason being everyone is selfish.
Things are happening the way they are destined. God cannot change her own procedure even if she likes you or wishes to change the procedure.. I have to learn to accept and be allow myself to be churned and moved around by the automated program.
