Have you ever felt like your prayers are not being answered?

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you ‘talk to the universe’, pray, lament, beg or ask that no one is hearing you?

I’ve felt this way before.  There were times I felt like no one was listening and no one was certainly stepping up to help me.

I’m not a patient woman.  There, I’ve owned it.  Those of you who know me, are probably laughing right now and thinking, “That’s an understatement if I ever heard one.”

The funny thing is I’m much better than I used to be!  This is something I’ve worked on for years.  And I AM much better.

Anyway, one day after ‘talking to the Universe’ (my version of praying) for a long time about something really important, I lost my cool.  I was outside and alone.  A good time for a rant in my opinion.  So, I had my rant with the universe.  I questioned everything … including hearing (as in CAN YOU HEAR ME?), judgment, stinginess, extravagant measures for mean people, hurting people with deaths and illnesses that looked and felt wrong…

After I let it all out, I was ready to listen.  So I found a big rock, a peaceful spot and opened my heart.  I really wanted some answers.  People want to believe.  They just need encouragement.

My conversation with the Universe went something like this …

“Universe, I know that you exist.  I believe there is a power of Divine Being in the Universe that is the Creator.  I’ll just call you Universe and let go of all religious dogma around that.  

I believe that you are benevolent.  I believe there is a Divine Plan.  I’d just like to get a clue as to what it is for me!

So, if you could give me my messages in threes during the course of one day, then I would know that you are actually answering my prayers.  After all, if it is ‘3 times for the normal mind’ and I’m human with a brain, it seems like a logical request.

For clarity, please give me my messages from the Universe in threes (3s) during the course of one day.  The how of those messages is not up to me.  My job is to recognize that I’ve seen/heard/tasted/touched that message three times today.  Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

It was funny.  I felt like I had set something important in motion.

Little did I know.  A few hours later, I had my first message from the Universe … in threes!  I had asked for guidance on a specific issue.  I heard something on the radio, just 3 words … “go get it”.  I don’t even know what the rest of that message was.  I just heard that part.  Then about 20 minutes later, I saw a sign outside a store with an arrow that said “go get it”.  Now I’m thinking I just heard that on the radio.  I parked my car and was heading inside a building and a woman walked by me with a child and said, “As soon as we get home, you need to just GO GET IT.”

It stopped me cold.  I had just heard that phrase GO GET IT three times in the space of an hour.  Tears started rolling down my face.  I was shocked.  I was filled with gratitude.  The Universe DID answer my requests…and quickly.  I wasn’t listening in the right way.  The answer to my question (prayer) was GO GET IT.  Undeniable and clear!  It completely rocked my world!  I was filled with joy and gratitude.

I think that is the important part.  How are you listening to the Universe (God) in your life?

Have you used a method like this in the past to hear your messages?

Can you share an example?

Or, are you like I used to be?  Do you think that there is no one or no thing out there?  No God?  No benevolent being?  No Master/Mistress of the Universe?  No Lord/Lady of Love?

I invite you to try my method.  If you do, all I ask is that you leave a comment and let me know what your experience was with this.

Remember the message can be from anywhere – radio, TV, print, a sign (really) a piece of a conversation you hear – and usually from a place you least expect it.  If a universal being wanted to speak with you, it would have to use whatever method of sound or print to get your attention that it could.

I can’t wait to hear all about it.
