Jesus

Dear God,

I am so reassured when I commune with Your Son, Jesus.  This is fairly new to me, but I have come to an understanding of what human and divine is, and this too is recent.

Thank You for the help we get from the Other Side.  Thank You for the interior messages that are made evident to me in Your silence.

Amen.

What Will We Do in Future Times Beyond This World Now?

Dear God,

Do any of us ever wonder about what we will do on the Other Side?  And if we come back to this world, what we will do then?

Jesus has work for us to do, but it is not onerous work.  It is largely service work, which is the best way we can ever experience true happiness.  And Jesus has ideas of how he could encourage us to be of service.  If we express an interest, he will overflow our minds/hearts so that we come to know something of that future.

I am determined to go God’s way.  I first wrote that when I was nine years old and put it on a slip of paper in my grandmother’s Bible.  She left it there all those years, and I found it after I inherited her Bible 33 years later.

Our path is often planned years in advance.  I ask You, dear God, now to open me up to whatever will best serve our world.

Love, Celia

Amen.

Guidance

Dear God,

I have become very dependent on guidance that I have believed has been coming from You, a part of me that knows more than I can usually comprehend.

In the last two days, my guidance has become more unsure.  

I am confused.  Please open my mind and heart to the depths of my soul, One with You.  Inform me of what You expect from me.  I do not want to make mistakes this late in the game.

Thank You!

Amen.

Finding Peace & Joy the Holy Way

Dear God,

As we come close to Awakening or enlightenment, we get signs through interior words and/or dreams in sleep.  There is a progression going on, but once the journey has begun, its ending is certain.

Be with us today as we seek to walk the holy way.  Following You, going Your way, is the only way to find the peace–and the joy–that is our birthright.

Thank You

Amen.

Ruminations that Are Positive

Dear God,

Realizing that we are not “separate” (and have never truly BEEN separate) does take some getting used to.  I still talk to You as a separate Being, out of habit, but I think I am discovering that positive ruminations, which I started in my teen years, are the way to go.  

It is certainly true that ruminations do not have to be negative, and when we open to Your guidance, they become very positive indeed.

Thank You for this realization.

Amen.

Expectations

Dear God,

In the midst of too much to do, expectations that are wholly self – created, I ask for Your help in paring down my responsibilities to something more manageable.

I have to watch “expectations,” for I think they arose from a time when I was far too ego – driven for my own good, happening over dozens of years.  

Now I seek to live more casually, to do things that I want to do and be careful not to let outside pressures determine my days.

Guide me to what is deepest within, the goals that only You can countenance.

Thank You.

Amen.

Friday, the 13th

Dear God,

You know that I have never been superstitious about Friday, the 13th.  My mother told me when I was a child that the 13th of the month was lucky for us, because she and my dad were married on the 13th, but on a Saturday.

Many of us carry around the words we heard as children.

May I remember the good admonitions and the good times from my childhood, never anything that would hinder my free expression as an adult.

And thank You for the good sense of my mother, who knew not to let anything frighten her child.

Amen.

Navigating through Life’s Difficulties

Dear God,

We did have a bad ice storm in my area, and navigating it was a challenge.  Now, three weeks and more later, I feel that our town and its surrounding area are recovering.

I do realize that in my stress, without realizing it I tried to take back “managing” my life.  You were still very much with me in my depths, helping, though I was not actively calling on Your inner Voice.

This is my failing.  Hard times come to all, and You are the best Avenue for navigation through them.

Thank You.

Amen.
