The proverbial silver bullet -- does it exist?

The question was asked first on LinkedIn where other answers can be found. My answer was:

“Great question!

At the risk of being called the Lone Ranger, or worse, may I suggest that learning how to pray is the "silver bullet" we seek and find as we grow older.

The LinkedIn members have had several good discussions about this under the following questions:

1. How do you use prayer, if at all, when you make a decision and your process is looking to find the answer and waiting for the answer to emerge?

2. When praying about an issue for decision, does God always give you an answer?

I would also highly recommend Dreams: God's Forgotten Language by John A. Sanford. God does not appear out of a machine (a reference to the way gods were used to end plays way back when). But God does send messengers = angels who are functionally equivalent to the figures in our dreams.”

What do you think?

Thanks.
