When Thoughts and Prayer Don't Matter and When They Do
As you may suspect, the title of this piece is a reference to a debate, or maybe the better word is lamentation or outcry, that's been a theme in both social media as well as main stream media. There is a sense of frustration with the phenomenon of "sending thoughts and prayers" when a tragedy strikes, and then not actually doing anything to make a change.
I find that the topic of prayer is a particularly interesting part of Swedenborg's writings, and he challenges a lot of the traditional views on what prayer is. I think he addresses a major problem in many common understandings of prayer, and something I've personally always struggled with.
