Do not ask for or expect miracles. Instead, ask for perseverance or for inspiration. Ask for the inner strength to learn and grow. Ask for the courage to do what is right and to become a force for good. Strive to become a better friend or lover or spouse or parent. Change the universe; do not ask the universe to change for you.
There is no invisible Santa Claus in the sky that grants wishes; spirituality is not materialistic. If praying for peace was enough, we would not have war. Thanking God for guiding a surgeon's hands dismisses his or hers lifetime of learning and effort.
Harming others is not being a God, it is being evil. Can you restore a life you have ended? Can you restore an eye that you have maimed? A predator is not superior; taking what is not yours is laziness. Destruction is easy; a child can set a fire. Construction requires effort.
Take care of this world; Earth does not require our presence to survive. Take care of each other. If we don't care for each other, who will care for us?
