Prayer
O Divine Friend,
Guide and bless each one of us.
Inspire within us a strong determination to help one another,
To treat one another with understanding and mutual respect.
May we have constant inspiration to seek Thee,
Our Divine Beloved Friend,
Behind all human relationships,
First, last, and always.
Make God Your Supreme Friend - Don’t Drag Your Consciousness Down with Criticism, Negation, Anger, or Moods - Give Inspiration to Others
In ever-increasing hunger for the love of God, all weaknesses are in time washed away. You cannot possibly be in love with God and keep your mind filled with criticism or negation or anger or moods. It is impossible. It is like trying to maintain darkness in a room filled with light. The darkness cannot stay. When the mind is intent on God, you want only to hear and to see God in everyone. You look for the Divine in everyone. You strive to bring out the Divine in everyone.
Inwardly, be with God as much as you can. Give to Him all the joys of your heart. Give to Him all the frustrations of your life. Give to Him all the desires that are within you. Give to Him all the friendship, all the love, that you have. Then you will see how sweet that relationship becomes, how sweet your life becomes. You will see how simple it is to love all, to give understanding to all. Without negative vibrations that drag down your consciousness, you will become a true friend, able to help the dejected or discouraged who need upliftment.

*When we seek comfort, understanding, peace, and love from others, often we are disappointed. Yet, through our deepening relationship with God, we find a supremely loving Companion who abundantly supplies all of our needs. When God is the center of our consciousness, love overflows into our life. We need less and have more to give others. Experiment with holding the love of God in the forefront of your awareness today. See how many people you can uplift, comfort, and support. OmLove, Annie
