Good Morning Garden

Why has not your prayer been answered? Perhaps it has. Strangely enough, it often happens that we receive an answer to our prayer and do not recognize it. Some of us have had demonstrations in our possession for weeks or months and have not known it. This mistake is caused by outlining. We have unconsciously decided that the demonstration must take a particular form, and because that form does not appear, we think we have failed. Actually we probably have an even better demonstration than we expected, but for the moment we are blind to it.

If a boy prayed for a man’s hat (because he thought it would look well on him or make him grown up) he would not get it; since divine Wisdom knows that he could not wear it. He would get a good hat of the sort that would be useful to him. We often pray for things for which we are not really prepared; but if we pray scientifically this will not matter, since Creative Intelligence will send us the thing that we really need.

Seek God for his own sake, for the joy of being with Him and demonstrations will take care of themselves.

I will be glad in the Lord (Psalm 104:34)

We have all heard the old saying, “be careful what you pray for”. Prayer is powerful and as such should be handled properly. If, when we pray, we ask for God’s will, then all the things we need for our best good will come to us. If instead, we pray that our will be done, then we may be disappointed that our prayers are not answered, or that the answer was no, or that the answer was not for our best good. When we submit ourselves and our prayers to God’s will, then we can be sure that they will be answered and our lives will be blessed by them.

In prayerful submission,
