When the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it's not always in the way you expect. God knows what's best for us, though, so there's no need to worry when things don't go how we originally wanted them to go.
When you pray, rather let your heart be without words than your words without heart.
When we struggle, as so many do, in grinding poverty, or when our enemies prevail against us, or when sickness is not healed, the enemy of our souls can send his evil message that there is no God or that if He exists He does not care about us.
When we change the way that we pray, everything changes.
God answers prayers, but he doesn't always answer it your way.
We are punished by our sins, not for them.
If my children do not behave according to Islam, if they do not pray for instance, I will punish them.
For those of you who pray, I ask that you pray that I will always judge with wisdom and integrity as a faithful servant of the law.
I pray as follows: May justice reign, may the laws not be broken, may the wise men be poor, and the poor men rich, without sin.
When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment God will endow us with power.
