Prayer Prompt 23

I am pretty sure that God's purpose is Love. Not just that we love one another as we love God. Not just that we replace fear with love. Not just that we enjoy love as the first, last, and always energy we feel.

All those loves, yes. But also the love that is forgiveness. The love that I can forgive without naming a wrong, without experiencing an injury or an insult.

I can reverse forgive to give for. I can see God's purpose is that we give love for our perfect One-ness.

When I feel that soul-centered forgiveness, I feel God most clearly in me.

I reflect you, God.
No matter how great the contrast,
let me strive to fulfill your purpose.

Next time you look in the mirror, know you're reflecting God.

Love and blessings,

Prayer Prompt 22

Assurance and feeling safe are blessings. They let me put the day-to-day concerns of the world aside.

The greater fears and worries in the news become less important. They are not the substance of my life.

I enjoy ever-increasing certainty that God's power and presence are the substance of my life.

God, you assure me.
The safety you bring to my heart
calms me and compels me.

I can't say the assurance came quickly. I can say the more I pray, the more I know assurance.

Love and blessings,

Now finished with a weekend of prayer chaplain training. Experiencing blissful fatigue before going to do kriya.

Prayer Prompt 21

As I grew up, praying and prayer were serious business. No one had to tell me I was not supposed to take either the process or the product lightly.

Certainly not playfully.

Well, I've learned and that's changed. Praying can be fun and festive. Lighthearted and lightheaded. Who's to say that as an adult I cannot pray as a child?

I have fun with you, God.
Remind me of the child
in me, in all of us.

I've learned when I pray and smile at the same time, both feel a whole lot better!

Love and blessings,
