Finelen

I read a quote from him that I've been turning over in my mind.
I yield myself to Thee; I would have no other desire than to accomplish Thy will. Teach me to pray. Pray Thyself in me.
It is often said that most usually when a person says "Thy will be done," they have no real desire of that and certainly don't expect God's will to show up in their lives. They really say the prayer to exert their own will and try to cajole or convince God to bend to their ego desires and intentions. Surrender is the last thing in mind. Yet to sincerely ask for God's will, is total surrender --- and it is also trust that God's will is for the greatest and highest good. Imagine that, the Infinite knows the highest good and wants only that for us.

And yet, here this quote takes us even farther to the ultimate prayer of God's words and intentions being said and implemented through us. Beyond "thy will" is the revolutionary concept of God praying His/Herself in our very own souls. Contemplate these little sentences for a few days (say them slowly and roll them over in your mind for at least 5 minutes a day, write a few lines in your journal) and see what happens  --- if you dare.

Teach me to pray.... Teach me to pray.... Teach me to pray.... Teach me to pray.... 

Pray Thyself in me.... Pray Thyself in me.... Pray Thyself in me.... Pray Thyself in me....
