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!
