"Ask and it shall be given." Problem is, most of us forget to ask. What is important to remember is that when the time will come, you will be rewarded.
Pray and you will get what you desire, what you need. Why? Because matter is made up of energy and thought is a form of energy, so it follows that thoughts can manifest in our reality.
Prayer is a moment where the mind is silenced and directed. We are speaking to God, to the universe, to the same energies that creates worlds from nothingness.
Non-resistance does not mean becoming a doormat for others, to let them treat you wrong. I do not mean let the kitchen-sink become crowded with unwashed dishes. So, what is non-resistance, anyway?
