When people pray to God, they are expecting God to answer their prayers.
When people talk to God, they are expecting God to help them to find answers to their questions.
When people solicit God for answers to their prayers, questions, longings, hopes and dreams, sometimes, the answer is not what they want to hear.
Sometimes the answer is no.
Sometimes when someone is praying that their loved one be spared from the ravages of a disease, cancer, a heart attack or stroke, they feel that God has abandoned them when their loved one dies.
When a child drowns in a pool accident, anxious parents are pleading with God to allow their child to be revived and when death comes, these parents feel betrayed by God.
A job candidate is asking God to allow him or her to be the selectee and when this does not happen and another rejection letter comes in, the job seeker feels that God was not listening.
When a huge storm is approaching an area, people pray that the storm will miss them and make landfall somewhere else. But ‘somewhere else’ may be just as deadly for another town or village. When the killer storm devastates an area, people feel that somehow God is punishing them.
The truth is that sometimes God’s answer is no.
No your loved one’s spiritual contract is up and it is time for him or her to return to the heaven world, no matter what the person or child’s age. The aftermath of this soul’s death will echo out in a karmically correct way and all the players in this drama will come to terms with death, will have to learn how to heal. Sometimes, in some exceptionally poignant cases, the answer needs to be no. The person really wants to return home to the heaven world and God understands this. Sometimes God is listening to another mortal voice ask to leave. In that case, God’s answer is yes because the karma for their continuing here on earth has ended.
The person who needs the experience of a particular job will get that job, or win the contest, or receive the promotion. Sometimes God answers yes to those people.
The approaching storm will shake everyone’s foundation to their very core and offer them profound, unanticipated lessons of love, loss, compassion, cruelty, miracles and hope. The sheer range of emotions will focus everyone’s mind on the core values of what is ultimately important to them.
Everything happens for our greater good, even though often it seems profoundly ‘unfair’ to us.
Sometimes God says no because that seemingly negative answer is ultimately for our greatest good even when we cannot imagine that something good can arise out of such profound tragedy.
The wisest person comforts each person according to his or her needs and then gently guides the person to a place of greater understanding. Everything really will be resolved according to the Divine Plan. While we may feel that we are not privy to that plan, we can be part of it if we look for the lessons.
Sometimes the answer has to be no because it is better for the suffering soul to leave and for the storm to come and for the promotion to go to someone else. Sometimes the issue is beyond our vision. Developing Divine sight takes eons of living and dying, grieving and hoping, learning and evolving.
Ultimately, we will get all of our answers of ‘why did this or that happen or not happen the way it did,’ and then we will be allowed to understand the mind of God a wee bit more.
Sometimes the answer is no because that is ultimately the best answer for everyone’s karmic path.
