Call to your Father, certain that His Voice will answer. He Himself has promised this. And He
Himself will place a spark of truth within your mind wherever you give up a false belief, a dark
illusion of your own reality, and what love means….In loving gentleness He will abide with you
as you allow His Voice to teach love’s meaning to your clean and open mind. CIMS WB 1. 127. 8
A voice cries out, Father/Mother my heart is open to receive your living Word.
Ten thousand other voices scream madly at the sky, I need this and that and that! Are you
listening to me, God? For every disciple who hears Him there are legions who have no ears to
hear. Yet in their arrogance they run hither and thither, doing things in the name of good, in the
name of service, justice and humanity. How presumptuous we can be, claiming our position as
God’s right hand man or minister, when neither of our hands, nor our ears, nor our hearts hold
one precious Word.
We have not developed the patience to pause. We have not sufficiently undone the defenses
that keep God and our self-made concepts at bay. How can we ask for healing and help again
and again if we refuse to listen, to discipline the busy mind, to wait upon Certain Strength?
I have heard my own prayer…Dear God, I cannot do this or that. It is too hard. I am too weak. I
am too afraid. Blah Blah Blah. If God believed my petitions I would surely be in trouble, a
powerless mess, a weakling without decision, discipline, commitment. But God knows me as I
Am, and hears me as He knows me, created in perfection, without enemy or weakness. He
knows me as invincible power and son of Royal birth. He does not strip me of my reign in
Christedness, to reinforce a belief in neediness.
My Help, my Power comes in the stillness that listens, that waits upon His instruction, which
finds solace in a silent and guiding Presence within. If I proclaim myself a healer, then let me
heal my capacity for embracing noise, busyness, and impulsivity. Let me heal my gated heart.
Let me look deeper within, and rest longer in Him. Let me linger in God, in Truth, letting His
Glorious Words restore the Mind to Wholeness. Then His Consciousness arises in my
consciousness, His Sight in my seeing, His Word in my heart, so that healing becomes sharing,
true giving of God-life, and Christ communication to the world.
Egotistical doing/talking/ministering fades unto the still, cosmic condition that extends
miracles. The condition for miracles is receptivity. Spirit provides every Answer as well as the
Means. My prayer, recapitulated through silence becomes,
Thank you Father/Mother. I hear You! I feel You. I Love You.
Be Quiet
Be Still
Be Mindful
Listen.
