“What he said next had me take a step back to see the reality, and possibilities, ahead.”

“I came to understand that I’d have to approach my inner being directly to find a lasting answer. Meditation has been the best way to do this.”

“As far as I know, the door of entry into this castle is prayer & meditation. I do not say mental prayer rather than vocal, for, if it is prayer at all, it must be accompanied by meditation. If a person does not think Whom he is addressing, and what he is asking for, and Who it is that is asking and of Whom he is asking it, I do not consider that he is praying at all, even though he may be constantly moving his lips.”

Meditation for the Day “Down through the centuries, thousands have believed in God's constancy and unfailing love. God has love. Then forever, be sure of His love. God has power. Then forever, be sure, in every difficulty and temptation, of His strength. God has patience; there is One, always, who can never tire. God has understanding; you will understand, and be understood. Unless you ask Him to go, God will never leave you. He is always ready with love, strength & power. Prayer for the Day “Help me keep my life calm and unruffled, to find peace and acquire serenity. Help me to let go of harbor disturbing thoughts, fears, worries, and resentments, especially toward myself. Help me to embrace and act as a channel for Your spirit.
