Do you pray expecting to receive or with trepidation?
When we pray with doubt, believing secretly in our heart of hearts that
God is too busy, we are insignificant or since our hands are not
perfectly clean our prayers will not be answered, we are then praying
with two minds, wanting our prayer answered but not believing it will
be. Is it then any surprise we fail to demonstrate?
No one among us is perfect, yet none of us are insignificant to God,
remember, time is a human
construct that has no bearing on God and He is never too busy for
His children. We live in a state of grace, His love
unconditional, we place conditions on His love and availability out of
fear. Please do not misunderstand; fear is a powerful, relentless,
pitiless foe. Consider: We are bombarded in a never-ending cacophony of
doom and gloom. Economic disaster looms, sickness and disease ever
lurking, wars and rumors of war abound, terror attacks, global climactic failure
imminent, the end is nigh unless we act or even if we do! Is it really
any wonder that fear is so hard to displace?
Keep in mind we live in eternity NOW, this flesh, even the stars finite, our consciousness, our soul, eternal. Passing
conditions are just that, passing. It is vital that we turn our
consciousness, gently through prayer and meditation, away from the
negative and to God’s love and guidance. In so doing, not only does our
life improve, but the whole world as well, volcanoes,
recessions/depressions, war, comet/asteroid strikes, extinctions,
terrorism, pandemics and global climatic changes placed in their proper
perspective.
So we place
all our fears, great and small in His hands and pray expecting God to
act, for nothing so moves the universe as a heartfelt prayer.
