In Acknowledgment

Why don’t you try something different in your prayers?  Instead of asking for favors, why don’t you simply acknowledge the Presence of Spirit—of God—in and around you?  Sit in silence for a moment and simply acknowledge the I AM.  Acknowledge Love.  And then, having acknowledged that this Power is immanent—in and around all that is—sit in gratitude.  What a blessing to be part of That! What a blessing to know and acknowledge That!  What a blessing to claim That as your own and that of all others.  With that acknowledgment, what is there to pray for?  What is left is gratitude for new understanding, for soul growth, and for new awareness that allows you to accept, to trust, and to be at peace.
