Why

Why doesn't God do something about.... ? Why did God allow that to happen? Where was God when I needed Him (Her)? I prayed and my friend died anyway, where was God?

Ever ask these questions? Recently a book addressed these questions within the topic of why bad things happen to good people. I never ask these questions, in fact I can't remember ever doing so for I was blessed some 67 years ago to be born into a Unity family and such questions are completely incongruous with my God-Idea, yet I realize that many yet worship a God that not only never existed, but does not exist, meaning a God "out there" someplace Who can be plea bargained with and convinced to come and do something based on one's specific and often selfish prayer.

God is Principle and always works through humankind, never to them. Always this Energy takes the form, shape and direction of consciousness...Individually for each, and through a collective consciousness that the world possesses. (I have addressed this subject earlier in my blog site; go back and read previous sharings) I never pray for something specific to happen for myself or another, instead centering my own being in peace for the right outworking of my life and the life of another, for the more I know that God is but Love, I know that the highest good of each moment is always in process and I can trust the activity of Love to fulfill Its nature through each. Ask "why" if you wish, but it is a question that will wind you into the ground sideways. Seek the activity of Love within and It will always reveal process and purpose.

God "knows" not flood, earthquake, pestilence or fire. If God "knew" these things, they would be forever. Human consciousness knows these things because they are the direct result of our misdirection the power of thought. This is why Unity and New Thought teach affirmative prayer, for true prayer tweaks consciousness to accept what already has been given, and knows it is without nothing.
