“I’ve been looking for you, God. I looked for you in temple. I looked for you in church. But I didn’t feel you at all. Why? Why, God? Why do I only feel you when I’m alone?”
Surprised that this didn't generate more comments - it was a refreshingly new way (for me at least) to understand our relationship with the Divine.
As you said, prayer is much more than putting a coin in a vending machine, it is an opportunity to speak directly with the Creator, even if sometimes the conversation feels very one-sided.
However I like your approach that when prayers are answered with a "No" this can be an opportunity for growth as opposed to a rejection of the concept of prayer.

Thanks, Michael. Glad you enjoyed it.
