God's Complaint Department for Unanswered Prayers
Do you feel your prayer wishes are going to the "dead letter office" with all the wish letters mailed to Santa Claus? Everybody thinks that their problems are the worst. Thinking prayers will be answered belief turns to doubt, because of false reasoning. In a state of uncertainty, to believe in and unceasingly praying is not enough.

All financial goals have to be earned. A man who is weak may plan many wonderful things but he finds that he has been a victim of circumstances at the end of the day because of his bad habits, and usually blames everyone else but himself.
What is the secret law to activate universal forces to come to your aid and lead you to the place of prosperity that is rightfully yours?
