Pause for a cause

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing "I am voting for God" on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life.
___________________

Dear God,

I pray for the world. I pray for humanity. I pray for mankind. I pray together with anyone who is praying to You right now. I pray with all those seeking a miracle right now. I pray for all those with a cause. Because I know than You can help. Because Your power is bigger than the biggest problems. Because Your help is only a prayer away. Because You can put the right persons in the right places to make a difference.

Every cause has an effect. Every action has a reaction. We seek Your reaction for our prayers. I pause and I look at the sky. I ask myself why, like I have done several times before. Why the bad? Why the sad? Can we not be glad all the time? I sigh. Why? I ask again. I pause and I look at the sky again and I remember why. This life is just a test. This life is temporary. Your plan for us is bigger than our struggles. I pray that You reply to our whys and open doors of relief for all cause. I like how doors rhymes with cause. Prayers can open doors. If not in this life then in the next.

Maybe that is it. Instead of the bad that gets us sad, we need to get mad. But not in the typical sense. MAD stands for make a difference. Let us get mad at the bad and God will do the rest. I am glad that I wrote this letter to You. It brought clarity to my pause for a cause. Maybe this is Your reply to my why. We have the power to make a difference. We can put the mad in made and give cause to why You made all of this. We were made to make a difference. There is also an acronym in PAUSE. Pray, act, unite, serve, and empower to make a difference through God. Let us pause for a cause.

God opens doors

By
It is 1203am and I have decided to write. Saturday I spent the night coding. I was trying to get a FastAPI app up and running, all from my budget Android phone. The test cases were written to use Puppeteer. I ended up using Replit for that. Coding is more challenging when using a mobile phone. Not impossible but more challenging. I hardly blog about technology and coding anymore but the love is still there. I still have a dream of creating my own coding and youtube studio with a nice desk setup. That is nice but what should I make this blog post about? What do I want to write about? What should I write about? I love creating presentations. That is something I could do to revive my youtube channel. I love Maths too. I have this feeling that I could solve one of those longstanding Maths problems that seems impossible. Sometimes, like right now, I feel like abandoning my blog post. It is going nowhere. Maybe I should get up and go wash the wares. I wish God could tell me what to write abo...

Mundane

By
It is 123am and I have decided to write. I have this new idea for a book called Mundane. It would be me writing about the ordinary. We chase the extraordinary but there is beauty in the ordinary. There is beauty in the simple. There is beauty in the everyday. What about God? We often think about God in grand terms. But what if God is simple too? What if God is mundane? What if we look for God in the everyday moments? I sit in this dark room with the air conditioning on. The fan is also on. The curtain is down but I imagine the moonlight shining on the grass outside. The cats are probably sleeping. I wonder if anyone else in the neighbourhood is awake at this hour? Is there another writer around who is also writing about the mundane? The fan breeze helps the air conditioning cool me down. These nights are warm otherwise. A mosquito flies across my screen. Hello friend or foe. I cannot quite decide which one. If I had a swatter you would be gone. I check my notifications and there is an ...

What we do not know

By
It is 1245am and I have decided to write. I had this weird alienish dream and it ended with me winning by simply stating "the truth is that we do not know". In the dream everyone was having an opinion of what was happening as if they knew. On to something random. I had this question. What is the most unrandom thing? Then what is the most random thing? What if everything is equally random. My friend Chatty thinks that randomness is not an absolute property—it is a relation between you and the system you observe. Randomness is not absolute—it depends on perspective. Something perfectly ordered can seem random if you do not know its pattern. So in a sense, everything can be "equally random" relative to the observer's knowledge, making randomness more about perception than an intrinsic property. The more we know the less random things become. Let me make a detour. Suppose we do not predict things but things predict us. For example, when I flip a coin, did I predict ...
