Prayers and Affirmations

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Daily prayers
Are daily affirmations
Of what we are asking for
Believe that it will be given
And it will be so

Affirmations are your daily prayers. Persevere in your prayers and you are doing the affirmations that you read in books.  Affirmations need not be really fancy  and so should prayers. The simpler they are, the better. 

When you ask, believe that it will be granted to you because it will indeed be given. Just make sure that what you are asking for is free from selfish motives  and evil intentions.  Your  intentions must be pure and the consequences of you receiving it should not be harmful to you or anyone else.  That is why it is necessary to end your prayers  with, “Your will be done, Lord, not mine,” because you don’t really know the consequences of your prayers if it will be granted to you, so you are leaving it to Me, who can see through eternity.

Proper Prayer

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Lord, I pray not for my wishes
To be granted as I want them to
But that my will be attuned to yours
And accept that Your will, not mine
Is always what is best

The right way to pray is always to allow Me to do My will, not try to manipulate Me into doing what you are asking by bombarding Me with prayers, novenas, fasting, offering Holy Mass etc. with the help of  intercessors and prayer warriors. It is foolish to “storm the heavens”  with prayers for your intentions on the assumption that the longer you pray,  your petitions will be granted according to your expectations. 

Do not dictate or coerce Me to do your wishes, you are only My servants although I regard you as My children. Be aware of how different our perspective on things are, I view all things through eternity and for everyone, but your viewpoint is limited to your immediate needs and wants, your assumed future which is not guaranteed, your family, your relatives and close friends only.

Bear in mind that the consequence of whatever  you do in your lifetime will affect so many people for generations without  you knowing  it. So when you ask for something, always say at the end, “Your will be done, not mine.”  

In that way, you are acknowledging that I am your God and Creator and entrusting your life to Me in complete surrender. Trust Me, My will for you is always for your good which will be beneficial to others too for a long time.

Prayer and loneliness

Message for Aug. 6, 2011.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loneliness is an emotional emptiness that some associate with being physically alone and away from family and friends, but, it is not. It is the physical as well as spiritual isolation one feels when they are apart from Me, their God. Nothing is more lonely than having no Father to call on when you are in need of financial, spiritual and material need.

When family, friends, relatives and neighbors don't listen to your call for help and still there is no one from above that you can depend on, that is total isolation and deep, deep loneliness that drives some to commit suicide.

The loneliness for physical interaction can be remedied by going our, watching television, cellphones, video chat and other modern means of interaction but the lack of connection between Me and man if they are not aware of how awesome prayer is, is really unreachable. Yes, it is true that the distance between you and Me is your bent knees in prayer and supplication. What can be more reachable and cheap than that?

It is My wish that every child of mine should at least daily spend an hour in totality of calling on My name. Breaking that down into several minutes per day surely doesn't take much of your time. What can be more important than calling on your Savior and Guide?

Please disseminate this way of praying so that no one will ever feel lonely and bereft when they feel there is no one for them physically.
