1 Jn 5:14

A friend of mine is ever ever so lovingly transcribing some of my journals (they are like an autobiography of spiritual awakening) and she sent me a couple of entries from them on prayer. Though they are taken from two different journals and written at different times….they give the same theme and message about our attitude as we move into the prayer experience. And although these words were given to me as helpful instructions for my own prayer experience….I am reminded, once again, that Her messages of Love are not just personal but are meant to be shared. So I share these simple, sweet and intimate instructions here with you….knowing that Her Love sweeps through them to embrace all that can hear Her through this way of expression.

There are two I will post today. They very much remind me of 1 John 5:14 ( I paraphrase a bit)
   
  Now this is the confidence that we have in Her – if we ask anything according to Her Will She hears us….and we trust that since She does hear us… we have and are what we have asked of Her.”

An essential word there is HER WILL. And what is God’s Will? That we each wake up and remember and consciously Be again….Who, What and Where we already are as  the distinct, unique and direct expressions of Her Presence, Her Spirit, Her Life, Substance, Nature and Love. That we each allow the false sense of God AND us (this is the fantasy of separation)…..to be replaced with the Truth and Its experience….. of God AS us and all that IS. Therefore, true asking, desire, opening to.... is of this Essence.

1)   “Pray not with an attitude of hunger and unrequited longing but instead pray with the certainty and lightness of joy that accompanies this truth….a Child of Love has only to Ask and truly Desire….. to receive and accept what is being asked for.
      
      Ask not with a heart of unrequited longing; but with a heart that totally trusts she will be answered. You will be answered. Your Source always, always responds to you. You ARE her created Beloved.
        
     Pray, ask…..knowing you are the Beloved; cherished, adored and already Answered. You receive an Answer that always reveals to you in some way….what your Source, Spirit…. Is….and therefore what you really are and what the world really is.
            
     You receive an Answer that absolutely reveals (or evidences) your present Wholeness to you….in whatever ways and forms you can currently understand and be blessed by; in and as whatever brings the Joy and Abundance of Self to your remembrance and your immediate experience.
              
     A Child that knows she is loved approaches her Source, her Mother, with certainty, confidence and joyous expectancy; never with hesitation, doubt, un-fulfillment and longing.”

2)    “ Begin every prayer…..AS…. the Christ. (the direct, specific and unique expression of the One Divine Presence). Approach your Source with absolute confidence that you ARE Her Christ….Her Self expression and that She answers you….always….joyfully. That no request, no call is ignored….unanswered….not ever….never.
        
     Have unwavering confidence that as Her Beloved Christ….you not only have the right to ask – but that She delights beyond any joy you can presently understand – when you are open to feel Her Spirit within and as you…..thus accepting Her Answer and messages of Love.”
