Prayer may be a comfort to the ego, but knowing is a gift through surrender. People pray to the idea of God in the hope that they can somehow control their destiny or the destiny of others, but the outcomes are never within our hands. The surrendered life is a life rich in knowing, while those who seek control even through prayer are afraid to face the fact they never had control.
Acceptance of life and acceptance of our circumstances is the only way to find peace. Peace is surrendering the control of everything to life and the universe and allowing it to work its plan through us. It is refusing to say “Why Me?” in the face of any obstacle we encounter. It is not judging the unexpected and realizing that anything can be expected in life. None of us are absolved from sorrow, pain or death.
We can pray to the unknown God all that we choose, but all that it achieves is to strengthen and reinforce our ego and belief that we are powerless within ourselves to know the truth that comes from surrendering to life.
