Finding the right direction through prayer
Divine guidance in human affairs is available to all who progressively align their thinking and living with God. By humbly seeking, through heartfelt prayer, to understand man's unity with God, each of us will be led to pursue the right course of action in any situation.
Christ Jesus, humanity's great benefactor, consistently received spiritual direction through enlightened prayer. Prayer to him was more than the mere repetition of words. He taught that it begins in thought with right motives and desires and shows forth in conduct by one's putting these right desires into action. Jesus knew that to reach a desired destination one must make every effort to get there!
Understanding that righteous effort is the key to answered prayer, Jesus said, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." Matt. 7:7. As mankind's Way-shower, Christ Jesus opened the way of salvation for all from sin, sickness, and death, and his successful example shows every individual how to escape from discord and make true progress.
