“A famous passage from the Bible advises: ‘Ask and it shall be given to you; seek, and you will find. For everyone that asks receives, they who seek find, and to they who knock, the door shall be opened.’
This refers to spiritual awareness and wisdom. The original meaning of ‘ask’ was ‘claim’. Claim awareness. Claim wisdom. Claim prosperity. Claim peace, happiness and love. This is one of the most important steps to spirituality.”
365 Steps To Practical Spirituality
DAVID LAWRENCE PRESTON
“I let go of the past and explore new possibilities.
Sending children off to college or watching loved ones leave in service to their country may feel as though we are releasing them into a vast unknown. Letting go is much easier when we know that those so precious to us, no matter where they go, are enfolded in the presence of God.
Each time we or our loved ones follow our dreams and set new goals, we do so in the presence of God. We let go of old ways and explore new possibilities. As we focus on the unlimited opportunities we have to express our inner qualities, we step forward and act on them. Soon the unfamiliar becomes familiar, which inspires us to keep going.”
“What do I do when I feel doubt or distrust? How do I find the courage and faith to declare divine order and know that all will be well?
My heart is lifted as I remember that I am always loved by God, and that God wants what is best for me. The Gospel According to Luke reminds me “it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” This higher Truth overcomes my uncertainty. My faith sets me free from all worrisome thoughts.
When I look at my life, I find evidence of God’s love. There are people in my life who care about me. I have opportunities to express my highest self wherever I am. I have sufficient faith to put my trust in God above all.
Divine order is ever-present in my life.
“For He has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and secure.” 2 Samuel 23:5

“For this is thanks worthy, if a man of conscience toward God endure grief, suffering, wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
Because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps; who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth; who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously.
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.”
1 Peter 19 – 24
