Prayer

Many of us pray to a Higher Power, a God, a Greater Being outside of ourselves. We look to the the sky or to the heavens for answers to our struggles. We seek something outside of ourselves to give us comfort.

We usually pray for something to be healed, fixed, or sent our way.

This, I believe is where we miss the boat.

Jesus continually tells us that the Kingdom of God is within, so why are we looking and seeking without? Mainly because we have been trained or programed to believe that God is out there somewhere which God is everywhere present, but we connect with God from within.

God has God's being within us. Our bodies, our hearts and souls are the dwelling place of the most high. It is imperative to go within in order to make contact.

How do we do this, we still our minds and thoughts in meditation with our primary intention to connect to God not to ask anything, just to be. In reality, all we require is at hand, we just have to open ourselves to see it and receive it.

I recommend that when you are in this communion with God, focus on Jesus's prayer for us. "I pray that they may be [one] in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. I have given them the glory you gave me that they may be one, as we are one-I living in them, you living in me-that their unity be complete" (John 17 21-23). Repeat, "I and the Father are One." Soak in this truth.

The ramifications of this are phenomenal. Being one with the Father opens the flood gates to our inheritance of abundant peace, joy,and happiness.

This meditation practice literally changed my life. Go for it, what do you have to loose?
