Wow......really, it's all in the mind isn't it?? To me, its just a matter of being in "moments of fear"....and there is nobody there, so you go to a imaginary friend!!! Most of my prayers are never answered, BUT there a coincidences and events that take place that make me realize that there is an intelligence that surrounds us that really says to me that there is a THIRD PARTY somewhere. The Universe is completely amazing.....I didn't create it.

I hope things will go OK for you now.

Nothing is ever as bad (or as good) as you imagine.

P.S. Birdingnut, will you please stop getting everywhere I'm going before I do.

I received a pay increase recently. The biggest one in many many years and very much needed. Also done with no prayers. ?

Fate. When I was in my sales career I went through several company buy-outs, going broker and massive reorganizations. The longest I ended up with one company was only five years. Nine years with one company-sounds foreign to me. You are lucky.

Congratulations!

Prayer is just a subconscious way for someone to boost themselves up, or make known their intents and or desires for the situation at hand. Prayer is useless in all honesty. You can achieve the same effect by talking to yourself, but maybe a sky man can help ot be validated.

That's a very stressful situation to have along with other struggles. Congratulations for making it happen!
