Then God points out to the words: You shall not bow down to them or serve them.

Question: So they should include this in The Ten Commandments.

God’s answer:

Meaning: One should not omit/change God’s words because one does not understand what they mean or they are interpreted wrongly by others, an occurrence that sadly has taken place many times, as God points out (i.e. The Lords prayer, and in Chapter 22, a deletion in John 1, “In the beginning was the word...” which changed the meaning altogether of what The Word is).

Question: Is this correct?

God’s answer:

Question: Please explain.

God’s answer:

Meaning:I am sure, you have noticed that I am constantly asking God to confirm if what I have written are truly His answers and to ask His permission to include or not include certain things, etc. Often, I even ask God to confirm His confirmation just to be doubly sure. I do this because I don’t want to misquote God or say something is from Him, when it may just be my own thoughts. The integrity of God’s words is important.

God’s Statement:

Many times, we ask: "Why doesn't God answer my prayers?" After all, Jesus said: “Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. Everyone who asks receives; everyone who searches finds; everyone who knocks will have the door opened.”

So you ask, you search and you knock. Often, no matter how hard you pray, God doesn’t grant your heartfelt requests.

Whether we want to admit it or not, when God doesn’t grant your prayers, this affects your faith. Others, in their continued disappointment, stop praying.

The truth is God answers every prayer. Our lack of knowledge of God’s ways blinds us from seeing His grace and accepting His way.

Mother Mary’s statement:

God does not listen to your “proposed solutions”, he listens to the reasons why you are asking for the things you are asking for.

To you, your requests make sense. What’s wrong about asking for employment, healing, having a child, etc.? Nothing. However, it doesn’t mean that such will actually solve your problem nor answer your true heart’s request.

In the beginning, my prayer was to have a fulfilling job or a business. The more I prayed, the more I couldn’t find the perfect job nor make a business successful. I asked: “God what happened to my prayer for joyful work?” He said: “You are not asking for work, you are asking for life.”
