Robert:
Today I read in the Song of Prayer:
Prayer for specifics always asks to have the past repeated in some way. What was enjoyed before, or seem to be; what was another’s and he seemed to love,—all these are but illusions from the past. The aim of prayer is to release the present from its chains of past illusions; to let it be a freely chosen remedy from every choice that stood for a mistake. (S-1.IV.3:3-5)
I see that attempting to make plans on my own is like praying for things. It is attempting to build a future that in some way repeats the past. Since my “learning” from the past is severely limited, my own attempts to plan are confined by this limitation. This is why it is essential that I make no plans on my own. I want to release the present from the chains of the past. Another way to say this is that I want to move out of the box of my limited awareness.
Today I ask the Holy Spirit to help me release the past and open to His limitless vision. This is how I will serve the awakening. This is how I will experience true happiness. I am grateful for the Holy Spirit’s presence in my mind that is the means for my release.
Mary:
My prayer today is to be aware of the presence of the Holy Spirit in my mind. Choosing peace and allowing peace to return to my mind paves the way to opening my mind to the Holy Spirit’s healing Light.
Here I find rest. Here I am comforted. Here I remember that everything is all right. Here I am told everything I need to know in the present moment to heal my mind. I give thanks for the gift I receive from the Holy Spirit. Amen.
