I will give thanks to my Inner life for all It’s marvelous wonders, and for all its wonderful works.SOM pp. 526Prayer is friendship with God. Friendship is not merely generalized in mood: every event is its occasion.George Arthur Buttrick
“Prayer is to
be simple, direct and receiving”. Prayer
is to consciously enter into communion with the Divine in an inner language
which is sincere, to the point and completely devoid of any desire to persuade,
impress or control.
Spirit within
knows us completely. Spirit within is
unmoved by beautiful words which do not carry the weight of our
conviction. Spirit within responds
immediately when the words of our mouth reflect the truth of our being.
Why would we
expect our prayers to bring forth joy, unless we entered into prayer with
joy. Why would we expect our prayers to
bring forth harmony, peace and power, unless we entered into prayer with
harmony, peace and power.
At the center
of successful prayer is a quiet sense of gratitude for the magnificence of
life. Try it for one day. Simply say an inner thank you to everything
and everyone. Let this be your prayer
for just one day.
Today I let my thoughts be simple, direct and receiving. I express my relationship to Life in my innermost thought and I allow myself to remain open throughout this day to Spirit’s loving embrace. I affirm frequently that Spirit within me knows the way. I give thanks for my life and all that is in it.
