[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not religious. I mostly feel like this is all a happy accident, though it's also simultaneously/paradoxically proof that there IS something bigger than me. I mean, what is all this &lt;looks around, waves hands&gt; if not something more than me?
I also know there is good, and evil, and a whole lot in between.

Sometimes I think about praying, as a way to tap into that something larger than myself. 
I've even done a few days, and then I stop. Mostly that's because I forget...but I think I forget because nothing happened the first couple of times. 
If I were to start praying daily regularly, would I begin to feel something? 
I guess the question is, does the belief have to come first? Or does the prayer itself unleash something?

Not sure if my question is making sense. [/quote]

OP thank you posting this. It’s an interesting question to ponder.

As an evangelical Christian my response to you is that praying to our God and Creator is not about “tapping into something larger than yourself.”  It’s about finding a true relationship with God. Like any relationship it becomes a two way street.

I suggest that you start perhaps along with reading the Bible. Start with the book of Matthew or John and read about Jesus’s life and ministry. Pray that God will reveal Himself to you.[/quote]
