WE ARE OUR ANSWERED PRAYER

When we are feeling at our most needy (often just indecisive), we forget thank you, or Meister Eckhart's If  the only prayer you ever pray is thank you, that would suffice, and we pray for. We pray for God to relieve us of the perceived need, be it a hurt, an ire...or a circular question.

What if every prayer for is answered by our walking through/with that which we pray for? 

The way clear must be in our willingness to change our mind...that which we pray for may come...often does come...looking not anything like what we had in mind. 

We learn, ah we learn...that which we think is a "no" is God's "Yes!" 

When we take no active part in our prayer...we just pray for. That's how we learn that it is we our own self that holds that need close even as we pray for God to loose it and let it go. 

He doesn't hold it...we do. It is not present to God...we are. 

In our our need we are present to God as God's visitation in that moment. 

In that moment, it is finished by our belief, i.e., proving our trust. We show differently...first within, then without. Not by determining it to be so, but by silently understanding that it is so. The difference takes longer to show outside...we trust our insides by our silent, ceaseless thank you. 

Know that...realize that...experience that, and we are our answered prayer.

Thank you.
