Pray For Others

I pray in gratitude affirming good for all.

I not only pray I list 5 things I am grateful for.  It gets me through the tough times to remember the good that is going on in my life.

Fall is the time for planting tulip, crocus and daffodil bulbs.  As I do this work, I envision the glorious flower garden that will appear in the spring. I enjoy planting a garden and look forward to the blossoms to come.

I love top plant and watch it grow and bloom.  Another one of God's miracles. Who could take make a seed that produces beauty and food.  Only God.

Praying for others is like planting bulbs.  I gently hold and bless the current circumstance, looking beyond to the possibilities.  If there is a health challenge, I pray affirming perfect health.  If there is a financial concern, I pray seeing prosperity.  When there is a strained relationship, I affirm peace and harmony. Just as I envision the lower when I plant a bulb, I pray affirming the blossoming of good for all.

I don't always get to this phase until I have journal or talk it over with one of my spiritual mentors.  A conversation keeps playing over and over in my head and I usually end up the victim.  I am not a victim I am a participant.  If it hits a hot button then I own some of the truth. Until I get to the bottom of that hot button it can always be pushed.  My human self (ego) wants to give back for what was done to me.  That is not of God.  God's will wants me to affirm unconditionally love and come from that place in all our affairs.

I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us -- Romans 8:18
