146:2.14 13. Jesus taught that the prayer for divine guidance over the pathway of earthly life was next in importance to the petition for a knowledge of the Father’s will. In reality this means a prayer for divine wisdom. Jesus never taught that human knowledge and special skill could be gained by prayer. But he did teach that prayer is a factor in the enlargement of one’s capacity to receive the presence of the divine spirit. When Jesus taught his associates to pray in the spirit and in truth, he explained that he referred to praying sincerely and in accordance with one’s enlightenment, to praying wholeheartedly and intelligently, earnestly and steadfastly.

The Path Ahead
The days ahead show winter’s here.
But rain with storms is what is near.
Snow appears later on this week.
Our winter temps are at their peak

As the temperature does cool down,
The rain turns snow upon the ground.
And winterscapes turn white and gray.
And there’s more time inside today.

Cleaning house or cooking food?
Both things do require a mood.
Decide to do what suits you best.
Contribute what you can – no less!

You can choose the mood you wish
Adapting to the way you’re pushed.
Your inner light helps show the path.
Adjust the now ‘fore it’s gone passed.

The here and now is where you choose.
Choose love and peace within, then groove!
That’s a way that fills your cup.
Love will be more than enough!

Love will grow, just give a bit.
A fire grows when it’s been lit.
Love will show you as God wants.
Decisions help your eloquence.

Thank You Father— the One inside.
Faith in You serves as my guide.
Peace within now I have found.
And that promotes a joyful sound!

112:4.2 In some way not fully understood, the Universal Censors are able to gain possession of an epitome of the human life as it is embodied in the Adjuster’s duplicate transcription of the spiritual values and morontia meanings of the indwelt mind. The Censors are able to appropriate the Adjuster’s version of the deceased human’s survival character and spiritual qualities, and all this data, together with the seraphic records, is available for presentation at the time of the adjudication of the individual concerned. This information is also used to confirm those superuniverse mandates which make it possible for certain ascenders immediately to begin their morontia careers, upon mortal dissolution to proceed to the mansion worlds ahead of the formal termination of a planetary dispensation.

The Way Ahead
The year is young and I slept in.
My wife and I saw it begin.
There was joy throughout the world.
It spread as Your Will was unfurled!

Do we Trust with Living Faith?
Entrust your will, and find your fate.
Open up the eyes that see
And change your course through reality.

You’re going to feel an inner glow
As your will gets in the flow.
Of Eternity’s Time Creator.
Love is always a peacemaker!

To get to peace we go through war.
We must learn why we do abhor
War’s face when it is at our door.
Of loving kindness, we need more!

What a world in which to live
Where some have never learned to give.
Power corrupts us at our core.
Must history repeat like before?

Not if Love will stand against
The evilness that is intense.
Evil tricks will be exposed
By your insight as it grows!

Thank You, Father, the road ahead
Is something we need learn, not dread.
Faith that Goodness will prevail.
Provides Your blaze upon my trail.
