Of course these are all valid questions. I've had my own. God expects doubt. But I always come back to God.

How I look at it is this way: God is our parent. Parents want to be with their children to offer love and to be loved by them. But regardless of how we treat our parents, they usually love us anyway. God wants our prayers because we are then talking to God, telling God what's on our mind, communicating, sending energy God's way. When we open that channel to God, we can and do receive something back from God. There are times when I am communicating with God (praying) that I feel so full of love and so filled with love in return, it's extremely intense. Meditation is one way of praying. One does not have to talk. In meditation, we open ourselves to whatever is out there, God, the Universe, or just our own inner knowing.

I think prayer is a way of sending positive energy which is healing. Imagine someone surrounded by love; how could that someone be sick in the presence of all that positive energy? So we send that for healing to our friends and family.

That is why when I'm dealing with non-believers, I tell them I'll send them positive energy. I know of very few people who do not at least believe in that.

This is a good conversation, exploration.
