Christ lifts us free from this joyless mental state that fails or refuses to see the spiritual identity of others, and it brings to light the consciousness that contributes to healing that cynicism cannot achieve.
Our prayers today are a form of the leaven of Truth that the world needs. And we can start right where we are, no matter how daunting world issues may seem. We can begin with a single thought—because if we’re thinking about something in the world, we can be praying about it.
God, Love, did not ask Jesus, and does not ask us, to give blanket trust to any person or human institution, though Love does give us the wisdom and discernment to recognize when trust is warranted—or not.
Whatever seems dormant, or even nonexistent, in our lives now—happiness, opportunity, or health—can come to full bloom through the power of God’s love.
In order to be free of the exhaustion of inharmony, it is natural—spiritually innate—for us to seek something else, to reverse direction, to move toward safer, more peaceful ground.
In seeing that we can have only the identity God made, we recognize that the resistance to spiritual growth calling itself distractedness is nothing more than an imposition on us.
Turning our thought to God, we gain an understanding of the power of divine, all-pervasive Love. And we begin to think and act from a foundation of compassion and pure affection toward ourselves and others.
