Life is thoroughly, comprehensively interested in you (yes - you). In fact, life (God) created you out of Himself in the first place, and endowed you with qualities and faculties of imagination, reason, faith (and the capacity to discern, choose, believe, and “see” beyond the external world and into the “cause” world of things). He also endowed you with the power to choose, the power to decide, and the power to act!
He also incarnated you with qualities of energy, vitality, peace, joy, capability, and happiness potential; why would all these attributes be inherently inbred within you if you were not meaningful, indeed, important to life? (Do you feel what I’m saying here!)
And because you are important to life, God stands eagerly ready to support and assist you in any and every way you may (or may ever) need!
“I created you, I animate you, I empower you, I sustain you, ”I continue you.” Yes, this, I believe, is God’s intimate and purposeful relationship with you. And this presupposes, in fact, pre-ordains God’s genuine, unconditional allegiance to, and assistance to you whenever, wherever, and however you may require it. (Take a moment here to re-read the preceding, so you get a rich and profound understanding of its scope.)
God created you, became you, and sustains you as a decisive instrument for His expressionwhich makes you decidedly valuable and important to life, and life’s plan! Indeed, it demonstrates clearly you are needed by and within life; there is some plan, some purpose, and some reason for you. Life /God is therefore going to, in fact is continually, purposefully striving to help and support you in any and every way He can. Irrefutably, this life encouraging propensity is by design!
Grasp with every fiber within you that the Supreme Source of infinite, encompassing life - God Almighty - dearly wants to respond to you. In fact, His innate affinity is to perpetuate you, and respond to your every request for guidance upon Him!
You are His child. You are His instrument. You are His vehicle of expression.
You are literally His flesh and blood embodiment, uniquely created, individualized, and masterfully endowed with specific qualities and resources enabling you to perform the specific tasks, and fulfill the specific purpose God has created you to - and for! And He has equipped you in a manner enabling you to know that there are things for you to do that no one else in the whole world can - or should do - quite like you.
Why do you think you feel so good, worthy, and meaningful when you read these words? Perhaps because they are your truth!
God stands ready to strengthen, help, and lovingly provide for you…but you must first attune with, and ask of Him. Yes “Ask and you shall receive, and your joy will be complete.” (John 16:24)
Attuning With God Asking Of God
Praying Through A New Faith And Spiritual Connect
You are supposed to have, be, and become more; my entire 28 year clinical experience has clearly shown me this is God’s will for you. You are supposed to be something, and become something, and demonstrate masterfully the power and potential He has vested within you!
Ask, and you shall receive. There is an answer -- your answer! There is a way a specific way for you! Yes, there is a purposeful, devoted, genuinely loving interest and concern from God extended toward his child and creation (you) always:
• Your cuts heal without you having to do anything.
• Your food is digested and absorbed to feed your tissues
without you doing anything.
• Your breathing, circulation, and neurological functioning is sustained even while you sleep without you doing anything.
You are important to life. Life is devoted to your welfare and is your genuinely loving sustainer. And therefore, know unequivocally, that God stands committed to assist you -- and committed to ensure your evolvement, subsistence and sustenance is a continued, and unwavering fact ... ask, and you shall receive!
Asking In A “New Way”
Praying With Inspired Presumption
Here’s a target strategy you can, and should employ as a framework for attuning with, communicating need to (and experiencing wisdom from) the encompassing power of God. [* Read through this strategy fully. Then, I encourage you to practice and use it frequently -- so you come to sense God’s loving “hand” decidedly guiding, directing, and leading…you!
A.) Think of a need or direction you genuinely desire to meet or experience.
B.) Close your eyelids down and relax yourself thoroughly and completely (take several long deep breaths to enhance the inner calming process here inhaling deeply through your nostrils, and easily exhaling through your mouth).
C.) Allow yourself to then begin thinking of God as boundless love, infinite intelligence, infinite wisdom -- a wise, devoted, wholly interested and devoted Father whose genuine purpose is your personal welfare and sustenance.
D.) Deeply sense a connection with the spiritual energy and intent of “C,” sensing this energy filling, flooding, and saturating you to a degree where you intimately f-e-e-l the presence of God’s power, grace, and commanding, life ward energy within you.
E.) Then, with genuine and respectful reverence, mentally/silently talk to - and with - this Presence, just as small child would talk to his/her father. Say exactly what it is you want, need, desire, or are in search of.
F.) Clearly and graphically sense, and believe He is totally knowing regarding what you need, wholly receptive to your situation, and is lovingly, purposefully responding to you -- (and that you’re decidedly receiving power, wisdom, and necessary guidance i.e. some type of answer or direction - from Him.) Feel it, sense it, and allow it to easily flow from Him to you.
G.) Then, vividly envision and feel how you and your life are because of recognizing and implementing His answer(s).
• Graphically see the goal or need as fully accomplished.
• Graphically see the outcome a fact.
• Graphically experience the comprehensive portrayal of your prayer explicitly answered -- the need, or want, or “have to have” situation decidedly met. Clearly inwardly see what the visual and life representation of it being met consists of, indeed, is!
H.) Hold this mental impression and maintain a resolute sense of faith, gratitude and expectancy, fervently projecting (while holding its explicit portrayal) the idea: “And thank you God - thank you for your unwavering love - thank you for your genuine and devoted care…for your unwavering concern, and guidance, and unconditional, enriching, wholly nourishing support in my life!”
I.) Then, silently, with a passionate faith and conviction, affirm to yourself:
• The power of God indwells me.
• The intelligence of God indwells me.
• The wisdom of God indwells me.
• The love of God indwells me.
• The strength of God indwells me.
• The confidence of God indwells me.
• The guidance of God indwells me.
• God is fully and thoroughly guiding me now. His light and devotion toward my good now shines radiantly within me; His lifeward purpose unfolds forth through me now -- to build me up, lead me on…and to move me ever more-so into perfect self expression, and the richness of life!
J.) Take a few moments to savor the mood and sensations of expectancy, gratitude, and security you sense after projecting these affirmations to the Father. Then, just let it all just slip away, knowing God is purposefully delivering it (your request) to you. And it (the answer/way) may either come to you as a whole (right then and there in your awareness) or at some point after your engaging this attunement process in pieces, brought to you through any one of numerous different means. (You will know when God is “talking to you” and /or sending you a “message”; you’ll sense it, and will deeply f-e-e-l it!)
K.) Next, slowly, with an enlivening positive expectancy and sense of faithful conviction in your heart, let your eyelids open, inhale, stretch, and then carry on with your business.
Use this A-K attunement/connection process regularly, until you experience the “clouds disperse,” and the light of God’s wisdom and grace clearly, brilliantly, shining upon (and within) you! Your answer is there. He will masterfully and decisively deliver it to you! Keep the faith, let Him do His perfect work, continue on with this A-K process -- and Believe. According to your faith, it shall be done…unto you! (Matthew 9:29)
