Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God’s gift to himself. — Mother Teresa
In praying, some of us depend on the traditions of our religion, others on the instructions of spiritual leaders. Some of us just strike out on our own, not knowing what to say or what to do, yet believing that form is not as important as intent. We only know that when we do pray, something happens.
And each time we lift our thoughts to God, it is easier the next time. Then, as we keep praying, we discover that we have begun to establish a familiarity. Our heart is opening to God without our realizing it. When we are willing, God fills our heart. And even though we can leave God, and often do, God never leaves us.
I am grateful that God is in my heart. My prayer is one of thanks.
Hazelden Foundation
