Default Clarification almost done!

Thanks Impaul99 - I thank you for taking so much time and thought to answer my questions. Let me go back now and narrow down a couple of my questions.

1. As far as the "my space" question, I was referring to a situation where say, I was "worrying" about my child, loving her so much that I worried about losing her or something negative happening to her. My understanding is that I cannot "attract" anything into "her" experience. Now of course, I can say or act out things, that, if she "takes on", may lead HER to say, think or do things that attract the experience of "something negative happening" into her space, correct?? NOW, that being said, how does "prayer for others" fit in. In other words, let's say I have an "intention" to be perfectly healthy. That's fine, though I might reword it to mean more to me, or be more believable by me, BUT let's say someone I love has some horrible disease. My understanding is that I cannot "intend" for them to be perfectly healthy. BUT it feels right to say a prayer like "Please God, allow them to be ok, healthy, etc. etc." - Can you comment on this?

I believe I "get" all the others. thinking about "what I don't want" in my life is the one I get confused with sometimes because I'm very clear I cannot IGNORE or AFFIRM those things away, and your input there was very clear to me, as it was with everything else. I think with the money issues, budgeting would help as well. I really don't have the "burning hole in pocket" mentality which is a good start, I just have in the past experienced doubt ... and your thoughts there give me some solide ground to start from . Thanks m'man!!
