The answer to prayer is within us. The Course has told us many times we are given all as we are created. We lack nothing. The abundance of Spirit is ours, it is within each and every one and all of us. If we already are everything in our creation, why do we ask for anything? What should we ask for? The only thing we need is the healing of the idea of separation. We have been asking Spirit for all sorts of things when what we really need is Spirit’s guidance. Simply allowing our minds to reawaken to the guidance of Spirit is what is most valuable to us. That will transform our thought system. That will transform the world we see. That will reawaken the awareness of who we really are and who our brothers and sisters really are.
Every little bit of the world we see is a signpost. Spirit is in all of it, just beyond where we are looking, calling to us and reminding us of the Truth about us. As we discussed last week, we have believed we are little and that we ask what we think we need. We have believed we are afraid of the truth about us. And we have become afraid of the answer Spirit gives us to our prayer. What have we judged to have value? Are we willing to value the answer Spirit has for us? The true answer to our prayer has infinite value. It has so much value that it must be shared. The answer speaks to us in all we see and perceive if we will only value it correctly. The Course tells us the answer is given to us through our brothers and sisters. Do we value them correctly? The value we see in them is the value we see in ourselves. To recognize the answer is to be healed. All true healing is of the mind. And the healing of the mind is the acceptance and thus the awareness of the truth of who we really are.
We place value on what we receive. And we establish the value of what we receive by what we give. Creation is Love. The Course teaches that giving and receiving are the same. It also teaches us that to receive all, give all. Giving and receiving all is the extending of Love. If we are created as Love, then the same is true of each and every Child of God. Are we that afraid of real Love? We must be, for that is the answer we are afraid of. As we Love each other unconditionally, we hear Spirit’s message and answer in each other. I am the answer to your prayer and you are the answer to mine. This is what we really want, but are afraid to see. So, as we let go of our fear of the answer, say to everyone,
“Because I will to know myself, I see you as God’s Child and my brother/sister.”
In this thought our prayer is answered and our mind is healed. Let it be so today.
