[quote]Law of Attraction is about Wishing for it and working for it as well. There is a misconception that one does not need to do anything. But the Law of Attraction makes things easier and faster.[/quote]
Yet the KEY to that is never leaving God out of the equation, thinking we are smarter and wiser than God, but [i]connecting[/i] that to the [i]will of God[/i], who is the Giver of wisdom and [i]all things[/i]. It all comes from God. It all originated in Him, and is brought into form through our thinking. It already has been provided for us as part of Creation. What we hold in our hearts and minds, appears in our reality. We are never more spiritual, never more in touch with God, than when we agree with the Divine about our future. His very will, is for us to have hope and brighter future.

@SW-User Yes, I know.

@LadyGrace people pray the The Universe... and I tell them You're so close...!!!
@SW-User I dont believe they are so close, in the least... God made the Universe. However, praying to the Universe by itself, without God, is actually idol worship, as God said, "Thou shalt have no other gods, before Me." The Universe in and of itself, has no power to either hear nor answer our prayers. It is a noun....God's creation.
@SW-User You may recognize many biblical principles:
Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Romans 4:17 …He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.
There are elements of truth to the Law of Attraction. My concern is the motivation behind it. We do need to be clear on what it is we want in life, be specific when we pray, and we need to ask God to fulfill it. The major difference in the Law of Attraction and the message of the Bible is that when you ask for something, you should ask God directly in the context of a personal relationship, as opposed to a cosmic “Universe” force that is somewhere out there. When we ask, we need to believe that He hears us and will answer our prayer one way or another. We do need to be cautious not to visualize something to the point that we are meditating on the item itself that we are asking for. This could easily cross over into idolatry. Remember it is God who is the giver and the source of all good gifts.
James 1:16-17 Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Even though there are elements of truth in the claim of The Secret, they are very clear that they are not talking about asking the God of the Bible. They view God as a positive energy or force and not as a personal relationship. If one practices the Law of Attraction, they must be sure not to remove the source of true life and renewed thinking. The very people who took these biblical principles out of context and developed this humanistic teaching are in danger of being blind to the greater truth. They might be tapping into God’s principles but they are not tapping into God’s love and power.
