“Somehow, I surrendered, got busy with the steps, and life unfolded.”

Those of us who have come to make regular use of prayer would no more do without it than we would refuse air, food, or sunshine. And for the same reason. When we refuse air, light food, the body suffers. And when we turn away from meditation and prayer, we likewise deprive our minds, our emotions, and our intuitions of vitally needed support.

Within us there is an inner, natural dignity. It is an immortal diamond waiting to be mined and is never discovered undesired. It is a reverence humming within you that must be honored. Call it the soul, the unconscious, deep consciousness, or the indwelling Holy Spirit. Call it nothing. Whatever name we give it, IT IS THERE.

Meditation for the Day “The glory of God shines in the beauty of your character. It rises in you, even though you can realize it only in part. The glory is too dazzling for us mortals to see fully on Earth; yet, on our spiritual journey, some of this glory is risen in you when you take time to reflect God’s light in your life. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may try to be a reflection of the Divine Light. I pray that some of God’s rays may shine in my life.”
