“How to Begin an Affirmative Prayer” (04/14/24)

Rev. Mary Murray Shelton

Our form of prayer doesn’t begin with praising God, then asking for something. It’s not a bargain, an apology, an abasement, or worship of someone “out there.” Instead, it’s a declaration of spiritual Truth, spoken confidently knowing that,

1) God has no resistance to giving all, and

2) Creative Law isn’t limited in what it can do when we fully accept the good we want to experience, and dwell in the feeling of it being with us NOW, even before we see anything to guarantee its appearance. Today we’ll explore how this sort of prayer begins: not with the problem we’re praying about, but with God, and God-in-us.
