 As I write this message, it is with great joy and gratitude in my heart for everyone who took part in our World Day of Prayer, either in person at our Taplow building, or online. Thank you.
When people come together, in affirmative prayer and stillness, honouring the divine presence, there is a huge shift in us and how we experience our world. By being still together, in faith and prayer, we felt that connection yesterday. I still feel it today. It is wonderful that our Daily Word readings, and our ‘Mornings with Myrtle’ readings, have combined to enhance this experience. Yesterday, as we spent time in the stillness, to know God with us and as us; as peace, life, love, wisdom, goodness without opposite, it was enhanced by Myrtle’s message of God’s qualities and A Prayer of Oneness, written by Rev David Adams. Instead of focusing on everything that seems to be wrong with the world, we are encouraged to get still; centre ourselves in God’s presence and open our hearts to the divine within us all. Instead of worrying and blaming, there is a powerful healing shift in us. In this moment, we know that we are all so much more than our humanity, our mistakes and the ‘separated self’ experience. In quietness we can experience our divinity. And when we focus on God as divine in and through all of us, we see the world differently; we are changed. This was the message throughout our World Day of Prayer. And today, Friday 12th, the Daily Word focus is joy – for what else can we feel but joy after the day we just experienced. And our message from ‘Mornings with Myrtle’ booklet – a message of grace – how powerful indeed. It is our work to keep up our practices of affirmative prayer, stillness, inner reflection and connection. It has been, and continues to be, my work. For I know that the work of being changed happens through us – we don’t do it – we cannot change ourselves. We can be open to being changed, through grace and our divinity. In the stillness.
