DISCOVERING YOUR TRUE SELF THROUGH PRAYER

Prayer is not about changing God, but being willing to let God change us, or as Step 11 in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous says, “praying only for the knowledge of His will.” Jesus goes so far as to say that true prayer is always answered (Matthew 7:7-11). Now we all know that this is not factually true—unless he is talking about prayer in the sense that I am trying to describe it. If you are able to switch minds to the mind of Christ, your prayer has already been answered! That new mind knows, understands, accepts, and sees correctly, widely and wisely. Its prayers are always answered because they are, in fact, the prayers of God, too.

 True prayer is always about getting the “who” right. Who is doing the praying? You or God-in-you? "Little old you" or the Eternal Christ Consciousness? Basically prayer is an exercise in divine participation—you opting in and God always there!
