Receiving the Gift of Christ

Praying to Christ in anyone is true prayer because it is a gift of thanks to His Father. To ask that Christ be but Himself is not an entreaty. It is a song of thanksgiving for what you are. Herein lies the power of prayer. It asks nothing and receives everything. This prayer can be shared because it receives for everyone. To pray with one who knows that this is true is to be answered. Perhaps the specific form of resolution for a specific problem will occur to either of you; it does not matter which. Perhaps it will reach both, if you are genuinely attuned to one another. It will come because you have realized that Christ is in both of you. That is its only truth. (A Course in Miracles, S-1.I.7)

Christ is the symbol of our true Self. It is the part of us that shares the reality of oneness in Love’s innocence. Christ is in everyone. Praying to Christ is joining with the Truth.

We join with the Truth in a brother who may at the time feel a perceived need. As we join in Christ, we open to receive the awareness of Love’s presence. In this awareness, the need is answered in a form that can be understood and accepted.

This joining brings healing to both the one who has asked for help with a need and the one who joins with him in the remembrance of Christ in them both. They have joined together with willingness to receive the gift of Christ that has always been in them, ready to be acknowledged.
