From Conversations with God Book 1
Every moment.
Every minute.
Every day.
Therefore the correct prayer is therefore never a prayer of supplication, but a prayer of gratitude.
When you thank God in advance for that which you choose to experience in your reality, you, in effect, acknowledge that it is there…in effect. Thankfulness thus is the most powerful statement to GOD; an affirmation that even before you asked, He have answered.
Therefore never supplicate, appreciate.
Question: But what if I am grateful to God in advance for something, and it never shows up? That could lead to disillusionment and bitterness.
Answer: Gratitude cannot be used as a tool with which to manipulate God; a device with which to fool the universe. You cannot lie to yourself. Your mind knows the truth of your thoughts. If you are saying, “Thank you, God, for such and such,” all the while being very clear that it isn’t there in your present reality, you can’t expect God to be less clear than you, and so produce it for you.
God knows what you know, and what you know is what appears as your reality.
Question: But how then can I be truly grateful for something I know is not there?
Answer: Faith. If you have but the faith of a mustard seed, you shall move mountains. You come to know it is there because I said it is there; because I said that, even before you ask, I shall have answered; because I said, and have said to you in every conceivable way, through every teacher you can name, that whatsoever you shall choose, choosing it in my Name, so shall it be.
From God, “MINE is always your HIGHEST THOUGHT, your CLEAREST WORD, your Grandest Feeling — LOVE!”
