Are we waiting patiently with an expectation of continuous good? And the harpstrings of our thought—are they tuned in and receptive to God’s ever-present, loving care?
The spiritual understanding of God’s presence and power, governing and protecting everyone, transformed the human scene, and we saw the school flourish.
The idea that God is singing to all of us and that everyone can hear and respond to Love’s song is a versatile and effective prayer. It’s a way to pray about disagreements and conflicts of all kinds.
God isn’t absent and blown in like a cloud to comfort us, but is always present. In God’s presence, erroneous suggestions of any other presence or power besides God are cleared out.
I realized afterward that I had been listening to God the whole time; the words flowed with ease, and I felt I could answer any question thrown my way.
When a dark, dreary, material view of existence is put before us, we have a choice to make: Are we going to hold in thought to a false, limited, material model or “paint” the enlightened, unlimited, spiritual view?
The pain was intense, yet I wasn’t afraid. In retrospect, I believe this is because I palpably felt the presence of God’s care; there’s no other explanation.
