If you pray, there should be a Yin and a Yang (the concept of dualism in Chinese philosophy) to your prayers. This will balance your soul.

Most prayers are Yin, asking for help: Get me through this financial fix; guide my friend during this difficult time; relieve my pain; et al. But don’t forget the Yang prayers of thanks: How good to have a job these days; I’m so fortunate for loving family and friends; I love my home; etc.

Prayers are not just for supplication, they are also for appreciation. We all like to receive praise or warm feedback now and then. So it is with the One you pray to.
