• No prayer can be ethical when the petitioner seeks for selfish advantage over his fellows. Selfish and materialistic praying is incompatible with the ethical religions which are predicated on unselfish and divine love. All such unethical praying reverts to the primitive levels of pseudo magic and is unworthy of advancing civilizations and enlightened religions. Selfish praying transgresses the spirit of all ethics founded on loving justice.

• Prayer must never be so prostituted as to become a substitute for action. All ethical prayer is a stimulus to action and a guide to the progressive striving for idealistic goals of superself-attainment.

• In all your praying be fair; do not expect God to show partiality, to love you more than his other children, your friends, neighbors, even enemies. But the prayer of the natural or evolved religions is not at first ethical, as it is in the later revealed religions. All praying, whether individual or communal, may be either egoistic or altruistic. That is, the prayer may be centered upon the self or upon others. When the prayer seeks nothing for the one who prays nor anything for his fellows, then such attitudes of the soul tend to the levels of true worship. Egoistic prayers involve confessions and petitions and often consist in requests for material favors. Prayer is somewhat more ethical when it deals with forgiveness and seeks wisdom for enhanced self-control.

• While the nonselfish type of prayer is strengthening and comforting, materialistic praying is destined to bring disappointment and disillusionment as advancing scientific discoveries demonstrate that man lives in a physical universe of law and order. The childhood of an individual or a race is characterized by primitive, selfish, and materialistic praying. And, to a certain extent, all such petitions are efficacious in that they unvaryingly lead to those efforts and exertions which are contributory to achieving the answers to such prayers. The real prayer of faith always contributes to the augmentation of the technique of living, even if such petitions are not worthy of spiritual recognition. But the spiritually advanced person should exercise great caution in attempting to discourage the primitive or immature mind regarding such prayers.

• Remember, even if prayer does not change God, it very often effects great and lasting changes in the one who prays in faith and confident expectation. Prayer has been the ancestor of much peace of mind, cheerfulness, calmness, courage, self-mastery, and fair-mindedness in the men and women of the evolving races.

Thought Gems 

Do not become discouraged by the discovery that you are human. Human nature may tend toward evil, but it is not inherently sinful. Be not downcast by your failure wholly to forget some of your regrettable experiences. The mistakes which you fail to forget in time will be forgotten in eternity. Lighten your burdens of soul by speedily acquiring a long-distance view of your destiny, a universe expansion of your career.

Make not the mistake of estimating the soul’s worth by the imperfections of the mind or by the appetites of the body. Judge not the soul nor evaluate its destiny by the standard of a single unfortunate human episode. Your spiritual destiny is conditioned only by your spiritual longings and purposes.

O my Living water of everlasting life..John :4 :1:54
The gleam in our eyes 
The beat of  our hearts
The warmth of our breath 
You are everything

I feel your hand God upon me 
When in need and soul
Hears your whispering
Peace be  still when the storms
Of this world threat me 
Others may believe what they wish
But as for me , there is no doubt
 
At all in my mind , you were with me yesterday
You are with me today
And you are  with me tomorrow
You are with me when
I have bad days in my life
When I feel that I am not complete
Then you hold my hand and 
Appreciate what I am
When you are with me , I feel safe

In the storms and darkness 
I always pray to you Lord for success
No one can understand my feelings 
Only you can read my eyes

My wounds may be unseen but after the battle 
I still need you  Lord  to heal me
You know when I feel sad
And when I feel heartache
And when I was wondering for peace
I found that in your lap

I throw my passport in the sea 
And name you my country
I throw all my dictionaries in fire 
And name you  my Language

God allow my mind and soul 
To acknowledge the flow 
Of your love ....in the name of you son Jesus Christ... Amen
Happy  week to all our beloved friends

THE LORD WILL  WATCH OVER YOUR COMING AND GOING BOTH NOW AND FOREVERMORE :: Psalms : 121:8
I Beseech you all our beloved friends , do not let people change the loving and caring person you are , Do  not let anyone  get you down , take a breath in and out , use the love and goodness inside you to stay strong .......SINCE YOU ARE UNIQUE AND A GIFT FROM GOD ..
         Happy day to you all

The world is  full of  nice people,  if  you can't...... find one .....Coffee never  knew it will taste  nice and sweet  before it met sugar and milk ...we are good as individuals but,  become better when we blend with the right people ,  Empathy, love, Kindness,  are given  by a person like you..... Never underestimate the  potential  God  created  within you ..... We are capable to move the world one step further .. If we are united, and stand for a common goal ...Stay highly blessed and healed.

Beautiful smiles make  a world a better place to live,  The true beauty of a person comes from the heart and not from the face, it is the presence of God  within the  soul and it shines in the faces of those souls who possesses the spirit of Truth,. This is the  only beauty that can overcome the ravages of  time    and  it  grows more resplendent in it's eternity , Let us come together and surprise the children who need this boost of joy.

Do We Understand That Faith Is Trust In The Unseen?

One might say that every simple person is inclined to trust another. Yes, but the difference between the wise person who trusts bravely and the simple person who trusts readily is great. The wise man who trusts, if he/she is influenced by another that he/she may not, or must not, trust a certain person, even if he/she is given a certain proof, even then that habit of trusting will remain with him.

He taught trust in the omnipotent beneficence of God and proclaimed that faith was the act by which men earned God's favor. ~ The Urantia Book, (92:4.7).

1 Peter 5:7 .Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.

Wanting to be somewhere other than where you are creates discontentment. Think: Wherever I am, is where I am meant to be! This creates contentment.
