Trust Your Prayer

I just talked to one of the members of my SGI District. 

I will post her whole experience as soon as she has finished writing it...but in the meantime here is a synopsis. 

My young friend received her Gohonzon on New Year's Day two years ago. She got some immediate benefits and really appreciated the Gohonzon, but could never really chant twice a day and she was only able to make about 3 meetings a year. 

Right before Christmas she lost her job. She came over and we spent a lot of time together. her background was traditional Buddhism and she was taught to appreciate her life, but to never ask for anything specific in her prayer. As you know this practice advises us to chant for exactly what we want. 

She went away on a vacation she'd planned and chanted twice a day the whole time. She chanted for a job to be waiting for her when she returned, and boom ~ she got her new job within two days of returning home. And it's a job that will give her the time to come to meetings. She'll be coming to the youth Division kick-off meeting in Chicago at 10:00 this Sunday. 

She said she chanted for it to be easy, and she trusted her prayer. 

Awesome!
