And the Universe will give you what you’re praying for. If you’re worrying, “I don’t have enough money,” the Universe will say ‘Yes, you don’t have enough money.’
If you’re constantly lamenting, “I don’t have a significant other in my life,” the Universe will respond, ‘Yes, you don’t have a significant other.’ If you frequently complain, “I’m fat,” the Universe will answer, ‘Yes, you’re fat.’
If you want something different in your life, you must pray a different prayer. Your Life is Your Prayer will show you how to do just that. View this book on Amazon!
