“Take every thought captive to obey Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:5

If you are lost – outside the spiritual flow of God’s good – you need to get back on course and follow Divine direction. You pray for God’s will in your life and know it is the best direction. God’s will is for your life to be rich and fulfilled. Any problem lies in our limited ability to perceive the greater good that is available to us from God.

For example, the healing need may be for a strained relationship that has left you in anguish. You may pray that the relationship be restored to what was prior to the pain. Perhaps this is in your best interest and that of the other person’s best interest, but what if it is not?

We need to remind ourselves to pray, believing that the healing of the situation and the perfect outworking of the relationship will come about. This may mean that we need to release the other person to go his or her own way; but if that should happen, we know that God has a wonderful way of filling the empty places of our hearts.

Some of us may feel that we are willing to accept God’s answers, but we are not sure that our prayers are heard. We may feel that God is still so far away as to be hidden, or even unreachable. At such times, it is easy to fall into childlike ways of thinking of God. We may contribute human qualities to God and think that God has more important things to contend with than our personal needs. We may plead, cajole, or try to bargain for God’s favor, especially if we feel unworthy. The feeling of unworthiness comes from a belief that we can be separated from God.

Through our awareness of God’s presence, we align ourselves with the source of constant, renewing energy. Prayer and meditation are two ways of bringing ourselves into this conscious awareness of God’s presence. Prayer is not an attempt to convince God of our worthiness to experience the best in any area of our lives. Prayer is our conscious attunement to spiritual power; it is stilling ourselves and readying ourselves to receive.

In the midst of a stressful situation, we may find it difficult to still our minds, because our minds are so filled with concern. When we are able to quiet ourselves enough, we will feel receptive to God. Many of us have at some time, experienced fear and the feeling of isolation so overwhelming that it was difficult to raise our thoughts and feelings above anguish. However, in the Psalms, David tells us, “God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalms 46:1

Try saying, today, aloud in prayer, “God is my refuge and strength – my ever-present help.” This is highly beneficial, even if at first the words seem mechanical. They help you get your thought removed from challenge and to focus on the power of God with you right now.

Declarations of truth can be taken from the Bible, such as, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Psalms 23:1

“I fear no evil; for thou art with me.” Psalms 23:4

Our lives are directed in a flawless manner as we follow the perfect, ever present guidance of God.
