__________________________________Ancient civilizations such as the Aztecs and Incas provided sacrifices to their gods in return for health, wealth, longevity..etc. Some modern religions still do such as the Indians who give sacrifices to the temples.
And I, dear reader, have done such a thing since the day I got introduced to the 'VOW' prayer. What the true intention of this prayer is, I doubt I comprehend fully, but what I've always understood is that you ask God for something in return for a good deed or prayer or giving up something you betroth.
Until recently. I used to wish and pray to God, to give me stuff and I in return would, for example, pray 100 prayers, or send out 1000 well wishes or supplications, or even read a whole chapter of the holy scripture. Whatever I wished for, I always insisted on, regardless of how badly it might have affected my life or reputation. I was extremely stubborn and constantly found myself crying in my sacred prayer corner.
But now, I have a stronger belief in destiny and whatever I don't get, it was never meant to be.
My advice to you is: Embrace your destiny, God has better things in store for you than your wildest dreams. < === I should honestly continue to believe in this and living by it.

"Quote" Some lives are filled with "junk food". all we stuff into our "spiritual bodies" are materialism, lies (either to others or ourselves), promiscuity, gossip, hating, over-ambition, deceit, and distractions. Our lives suffer the consequences because of what we feed it. before we know it, our lives are unhealthy and shutting down. it happens just like a body does ...one organ fails, then another, then ANOTHER: we lose focus in life, our mindset is negative, relationships fall apart, & people treat us differently, ...sooner or later, all the aspects of the bigger picture are destroyed and we wonder where we went wrong.
Some people want to take the quick approach and "liposuction their life" into the right place. instead of focusing their lives on God, we turn to quick fixes to solve our problems ... alcohol, drugs, & sex that create pleasure for the time being & a sense of hollowness afterward. We feel guilt. We let all of the junk in our life prohibit us from turning around and being healthy. Sometimes we feel like it's too late. Then slowly but surely, that tummy-tuck life alter leaves us unhealthy again. &/Or we are left with excess skin & scars ...proclaiming to the world that something didn't work out like we originally planned.
Some people are in denial about their disintegrating "bodies". On the outside, everything looks perfect and society tells us that we're "badddd" . so, we believe them. If we look healthy from the outer perspective, then everything on the inside has to be. Gorgeous, thin people have heart attacks, get diabetes, or liver failure too. Just because they have a slim body does not mean that they are taking care of themselves nutritionally. Similarly, SPIRITUAL BODIES are the same way. Kanye said, "the prettiest people do the ugliest things". Just because we "seem" like our lives are beautiful and perfect on the outside, does not mean that the unhealthy things inside cannot do damage.
We need to be real with ourselves about how much societal junk we consume =/ .
It's never too late to insert God into our diet . "Unquote"
