The Perfect Prayer

Many people ask me about praying. As a spiritual advisor I pray with almost every one of my clients. I do not believe in any religion, but find strength and encouragement from all of the great masters and teachers of the Great Spirit. People always feel a great release when I pray and I would like to lay out what I have found to be the perfect prayer that is simple and easy to do every day. I choose no argument with those of various religious doctrines who oppose these ideas that I put forth, and ask only for the same courtesy in return.

I had a visitation with Jesus last year, this was not my first visitation with Jesus, and he laid out to me why this prayer was so important to say every day. No matter what religion or spiritual belief you have here is a wonderful outline of how to pray. You do not have to be a Christian for this to be effective because this prayer is perfect in its simplicity. Remember Jesus was not a Christian. I am spiritual and I do admire many of the teachings of Jesus.

I am going to break down each line of this prayer and show you why it’s important in its beautiful simplicity.

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (This is acknowledging the Divine Spirit and showing your belief in the sanctity of the creator.)
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Here you are expressing that all spiritual work be done on earth just like it is in spirit. You’re also asking for the heavenly kingdom to be here now with you.)
Give us this day our daily bread. (You are asking for what you need today, not tomorrow-just for today.)
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. (Forgiveness of ourselves and those who have treated us badly is the foundation for spiritual growth.)
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: (It’s easy to be tempted and here you are asking to be kept from temptation and any wrongdoing, which can be evil.)
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. (Once again you are showing reverence for the power and glory of the Divine.)

You do not need to use vain repetitions because you think this will get the attention of God. Get alone and pray by yourself because this will give you time to quiet your mind and hear any messages God can give you. Praying in a group is good, but it will not help you get answers that you need or give you the perfect peace of the Divine.

God loves having time with you alone. He’s always waiting for you and prayers are answered. Prayers are often answered in ways that we did not ask. The reason is God’s ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. If you pray for just what you need for the day you will start finding openings in your life that you never had before.

Be patient and trust that God will take care of you. The Divine Creator knows what you need even before you ask. It’s in the asking that the miracles occur.
