^144:2.2 "Prayer is entirely a personal and spontaneous expression of the attitude of the soul toward the spirit; prayer should be the communion of sonship and the expression of fellowship. Prayer, when indited by the spirit, leads to co-operative spiritual progress. The ideal prayer is a form of spiritual communion which leads to intelligent worship. True praying is the sincere attitude of reaching heavenward for the attainment of your ideals.

  ^144:2.3 "Prayer is the breath of the soul and should lead you to be persistent in your attempt to ascertain the Father's will. If any one of you has a neighbor, and you go to him at midnight and say: `Friend, lend me three loaves, for a friend of mine on a journey has come to see me, and I have nothing to set before him'; and if your neighbor answers, `Trouble me not, for the door is now shut and the children and I are in bed; therefore I cannot rise and give you bread,' you will persist, explaining that your friend hungers, and that you have no food to offer him. I say to you, though your neighbor will not rise and give you bread because he is your friend, yet because of your importunity he will get up and give you as many loaves as you need. If, then, persistence will win favors even from mortal man, how much more will your persistence in the spirit win the bread of life for you from the willing hands of the Father in heaven. Again I say to you: Ask and it shall be given you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you. For every one who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door of salvation will be opened.

  ^144:2.4 "Which of you who is a father, if his son asks unwisely, would hesitate to give in accordance with parental wisdom rather than in the terms of the son's faulty petition? If the child needs a loaf, will you give him a stone just because he unwisely asks for it? If your son needs a fish, will you give him a watersnake just because it may chance to come up in the net with the fish and the child foolishly asks for the serpent? If you, then, being mortal and finite, know how to answer prayer and give good and appropriate gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the spirit and many additional blessings to those who ask him? Men ought always to pray and not become discouraged.

  ^144:2.5 "Let me tell you the story of a certain judge who lived in a wicked city. This judge feared not God nor had respect for man. Now there was a needy widow in that city who came repeatedly to this unjust judge, saying, `Protect me from my adversary.' For some time he would not give ear to her, but presently he said to himself: `Though I fear not God nor have regard for man, yet because this widow ceases not to trouble me, I will vindicate her lest she wear me out by her continual coming.' These stories I tell you to encourage you to persist in praying and not to intimate that your petitions will change the just and righteous Father above. Your persistence, however, is not to win favor with God but to change your earth attitude and to enlarge your soul's capacity for spirit receptivity.

  ^144:2.6 "But when you pray, you exercise so little faith. Genuine faith will remove mountains of material difficulty which may chance to lie in the path of soul expansion and spiritual progress."

Beloved Father

Thank you for your loving kindness....

Your Infinitely Divine Love In Kindness.

Help me to find ways to be an expression 

of your loving kindness this day.

I fully and unqualifiedly 

consecrate my will to the doing and 

carrying out of your will, 

to the best of my understanding 

and my ability.

I ask for help in this from my 

Father Brother Michael Jesus and 

his Spirit of Truth and to increase 

my ability to love all those about me.

Together with Mother, her agents and 

agencies and particularly 

her Holy Spirit in bringing me

Father Michael Jesus

in his spirit of Truth.

And especially with my Seras, 

thank you for your tireless devotion, 

your life and your work with me. 

Increase my capacity for spiritual 

receptivity so that I can detect your 

nudges, leadings and urges as we 

progress together 

towards our Paradise goal.

In union with you Dad, do I freely 

and unreservedly consecrate my

part of our mind to carrying out 

your spiritual urges 

and your will for me this day. 

I consciously and faithfully 

give you 

my supremely sincere cooperation 

as I cheerfully tread the path 

of your choosing 

in leading me in my assignment.

All this I ask. Father, so that 

your will prevails, 

especially IN me and my thoughts, 

THROUGH me and 

my words, and WITH me in my 

actions...and knowing 

that I am always living 

within your Presence.
