Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Prayer is less about changing the world than it is about changing ourselves. — David J. Wolpe
Regardless of how we understand a Power greater than ourselves, prayer is an important part of our lives. Relating to a Higher Power leads us out of our egotism into a conscious relationship with powers far beyond ourselves.
How do we pray? We can use words to state what’s on our mind. We can say them silently or out loud. We can quiet our mind and simply enter into the peace of God, opening our mind to receive that deeper wisdom. Drawing pictures can be a form of prayer. Playing music or listening to music can be done prayerfully. This is not so much a time to ask for special favors as a time to enter the relationship and to receive the guidance that comes from beyond our own power and conscious will.
Today, I will quiet my mind for a few minutes and enter consciously into a prayerful relationship with my Higher Power.
