Then you are asking, above all, that they may be receptive to God, and thus receive physical, mental, or spiritual help direct from the Divine Physician. This is the basis of all prayer. God's blessing is ever present; receptivity is often lacking. Prayer heightens receptivity. If one's faith is not perfect, prayer for oneself or others is essential to help strengthen faith and open the door to God's ever present help. (Daya Mata, `Only Love')One must be very careful when praying for others to pray for the removal of the cause and not the removal of the symptom. A simple healing prayer is this:`Bring this life into harmony with Divine Purpose…may this life come into harmony with God's Will. May you so live that all who meet you will be uplifted, that all who bless you will be blessed, that all who serve you will receive the greatest satisfaction. If any should attempt to harm you, may they contact your thought of God and be healed.'(Peace Pilgrim, `Peace Pilgrim')Our prayers for other have great strength but can only be answered as far as they do not infringe on the others' free will—or as long as they do not frustrate others' needs. God is bound to let us act for ourselves, but he is also willing to help in any way possible. If the faith of our friends is weak, the strength of our spirits can literally hold them up. If they are sick, our prayers of faith can often give them strength to be healed, unless their illness is appointed as a growing experience. If their death seems near, we must always remember to ask for God's will to be done, otherwise we could frustrate the person making their transition by creating in them a conflict of purpose. The range of our help for others is immense. We can do far more good for our families, friends, or others than we ever imagined.(Betty Eadie, `Embraced By the Light') -- " Let Noble thoughts come to us from every side " . - RigVeda (1-89-i) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
