Pray By Turning Within

“When friends or loved ones ask me to keep them in prayer, I feel a sense of honor and respect for this sacred activity. Regardless of their specific prayer needs, I affirm that God is the answer. God is always the answer.

I pray by turning within to my awareness of God and releasing my attention on the outer world. I affirm all beings are perfect expressions of the Divine Spirit. Envisioning myself as a living vessel for the love of God, I let this love flow through me and surround those who come to me for prayer. I pray they know perfect love, perfect life, and perfect peace.

When I hold others in this consciousness, the words I speak hold truth and power.”

“I pray that … He may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through His Spirit.” —Ephesians 3:16

Then, When Hope Seemed Gone

“Then — when hope seemed gone — the herald angels sang.

The star appeared, that made the wonderment to the shepherds, that caused the awe and concernment to all of those about the Inn …

All were in awe as the brightness of His star appeared and shone, as the music of the spheres brought that joyful choir,

“PEACE ON EARTH!  GOOD WILL TO MEN OF GOOD FAITH.”

ALL felt

the vibrations

and saw a great light…”

Doors Will Open

“A feeling of being overwhelmed is your indicator that you are denying yourself access to all manner of cooperation that could assist you if you were not disallowing them.

As you begin to feel freer regarding the expenditure of time and money, doors will open, people will come to assist you, refreshing and productive

ideas will occur to you, and circumstances and events will unfold.

As you change the way you feel, you access the Energy that creates worlds. It is there for your ready access at all times.”

Matthew 7:7: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”

Abraham Hicks, 8/31/08

Allowing The Diminishment Of The Ego

“A powerful spiritual practice is consciously to allow the diminishment of ego when it happens without attempting to restore it.  I recommend that you experiment with this from time to time.  For example, when someone criticizes you, blames you, or calls you names, instead of immediately retaliating or defending yourself — do nothing.

Allow the self-image to remain diminished and become alert to what that feels like deep inside you.  For a few seconds, it may feel uncomfortable, as if you had shrunk in size.  Then you nay sense an inner spaciousness that feels intensely alive.  You haven’t been diminished at all.  In fact, you have expanded.

You may then come to an amazing realization: When you are seemingly diminished in some way and remain in absolute non-reaction, not just externally but also internally, you realize that nothing real has been diminished, that through becoming ‘less,’ you become more.  When you no longer defend or attempt to strengthen the form of yourself, you step out of identification with form, with mental self-image.

Through becoming less (in the ego’s perception), you in fact undergo an expansion and make room for Being to come forward.  True power, who you are beyond form, can then shine through the apparently weakened form.  This is what Jesus means when he says, ‘Deny yourself’ or ‘Turn the other cheek.’ “
