a fool before God (+)
living in silence
and solitude
pray | meditate | contemplate
Don't turn too quickly to someone else with your request for intercessory prayer and/or religious advice. Because there is no reason why you cannot first put your request in front of God yourself. In fact, your own relationship with God is far more important than anyone else's.
Therefore, first see any unfulfilled life-goal and/or prayer-request as a personal opportunity to draw closer to God by yourself.
Next, put your plight or question before your local priest or reverend, as they are tasked by God (+) - and paid to do so by the Church - to guide you and to help you find your way.
And only when this all fails you can try and find someone else and/or me for extra needed religious advice and/or intercessory prayer.
