Prayer is the faith that all things positive and good are possible to God. Fed by selfless love, faith grows into spiritual understanding and reveals remarkable experiences.

God’s work is done. We reflect the doing. Prayer embraces action, yet it’s a mental exercise. It is not busy work reacting to our own personal desires or the world’s demands, but a logical, spiritual, helpful, brave response to God’s work.

Thoughts are prayers. Desires are prayers. Sometimes these thoughts and desires are sketchy, but God can be trusted to clarify the prayers.

We may desire more righteousness, but is it a desire to be right with God, or to be right in the eyes of human beings? The motives for prayer will be exposed. You can’t hide ulterior motives.

Healing prayer doesn’t try to change God, because God is unchanging wisdom and Life. Prayer instead adapts us to wisdom and Life.

God already knows what we need. We are never telling God something new. Asking God for something, no matter how passionate we sound, doesn’t guarantee satisfaction. Humility is necessary. Not humiliation, but humility.

Don’t acquire the habit of pleading with God, as though God is a human being with a brain that can be triggered into action. It is a mistake to think prayer coaxes the divine Being into reality. God’s universe is alive and well—synchronized with consciousness now. Spiritual being is intact.
