Click for audio: Five Fundamentals of Prayer
“But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you”(Matthew 6:6).
In gaining a deeper understanding of prayer, it is important to know that the acheter du viagra a lyon faculties we use in our special moments of turning to God in prayer are the same faculties of imagination, faith, judgment, will and elimination that we employ in our day-to-day living. It is good to be aware of this to avoid canceling out through our day the benefits of prayer we establish in our quiet times.
In prayer, for example, we might use our faculty of imagination to envision the resolution to some difficulty we’re experiencing. Our faith, our expectation is in the best and highest for all. We take care to avoid judging by appearances, knowing that greater good is unfolding despite what current conditions may look like. We employ our faculty of will to keep our imagination and faith in particular directed to the greater good rather than to contrary appearances. Finally, we release the debilitating energy of fear and doubt that can arise and priligy deutschland kaufen cause us to waver.
In practice, we employ our imagination to see our solution as this or something better. We turn the power of our faith into the expectation that this something better is unfolding through every person and condition in our life now. We execute our judgment in choosing thoughts and actions that support our expectation of good. We use our will to stay this course and to release all imagery, all thought and all emotion to the contrary.
We are truly praying without ceasing, as Paul suggested, in every moment of every day. It is good to be aware of how we are using our faculties, not just during our special times devoted to prayer but during all times.
