Coincidence. If anyone's going to bother to send a sign, it's going to be obvious and not my brain trying to make patterns out of random occurrences which is something our brain is proven to do.

I wouldn't say that means there's something "wrong" with the person praying exactly. And I'd also say even the most devout saint has periods when there seems to be no response.



And that's okay.
While I understand what you're saying there's no way for me to... accept it. If that makes any sense. I know what you mean, but I don't believe it.

It makes complete sense. I don't know that it could be otherwise. Either you believe it or you don't. Either it fits into your frame of reference for making sense of everything or it doesn't. I'm not sure it's something others can convince a person of one way or the other.
