Irrespective

Allison W. Phinney, Jr.

Looking back on experiences of divine help and healing, one can't help being in awe. Often the seemingly impossible has become possible, the insurmountable has been surmounted.

When one finally yielded to Spirit, or Mind, the "solid" impossibility was simply gone, like smoke or mist. In its place, for example, was health that was natural, or business obligations completely taken care of, or improved human relationships where there had seemed to be not the slightest possibility for them.

Perhaps the lesson one keeps learning is that the outcome of prayer is just not determined by material circumstances. Prayer that turns thought wholly to God, Spirit, is going to receive its answers wholly from Spirit. These answers are not going to be fitted in like pebbles between the boulders of human circumstance. Instead these spiritual intuitions bring with them a new view, a different landscape as it were.
