How about this:
Every thought is a prayer to God, and every prayer has an answer within it. God is with us all the time, and when we remember this and believe this, his spirit responds in us and directs us. God directs us as long as we acknowledge his presence (Proverbs 3:6), but when we forget this, where are our thoughts, our prayers? Even then, God is still with us, waiting for us to call on him again.
Every thought is a prayer, how about that? But every day —isn’t it a shame? —we spend so much time being thoughtless. And still God is with us, waiting for us to come to our senses, to think, to pray.
God is more than an abstract thought, however. The proof is not, and cannot be, my own, but it is this: our thoughts do not sustain themselves. One private thought cannot sustain another, yet there is an answer, always, like the voice that came to Moses and said “I am.” God is an answer. Yahweh is the answer to our prayers. God is not a thought; God is “I am,” the answer.
But what about the so-called great thinkers of the world, those who say they do not pray because “there is no God”? God is still the answer, waiting for the question to be asked, the prayer to be prayed, the thought to occur (There are thoughts that have not yet occurred, even to the greatest thinkers). Every thought is a prayer, I said.
So what about the thought that God does not exist (and who has never cried, “Where are you, God?”)? Isn’t this simply thinking without direction, aimlessly pondering, oblivious meditation? Thoughtlessness, really. And still God waits with an answer. Is there a God? Yes, Yahweh say, I am.
