Finding Comfort, Inspiration, and Strength in Prayer
The Healing Effects of a Life of Prayer
TTT 17:111. Throughout the ages, I have told you: Pray. Today I tell you that through prayer you can attain wisdom. If all people prayed, they would never stray from the path of light that I have laid out. Through prayer, the sick would be healed, there would be no more unbelievers, and peace would return to souls.
112. How can a person be happy if he has rejected My grace? Does he perhaps think that love, mercy, and gentleness are not qualities of human life? (69:7–8)
113. Know that a word that contains no love possesses neither life nor power. You ask Me how you can begin to love and what you must do to awaken this feeling in your hearts, and I say to you: what you must begin with is learning to pray correctly. It will bring you closer to the Master, and that Master am I.
114. In prayer, you will find comfort, inspiration, and strength; it will give you the exquisite satisfaction of being able to speak intimately with God, without witnesses or intermediaries. God and your spirit are united in this sweet moment of intimacy, spiritual dialogue, and blessings. (166, 43–44)
115. Whenever you need a confidant, a kind friend, turn to Me and lay before Me the sufferings that may be in your hearts, and I will advise you of the best path—the solution you seek.
116. If your soul is weighed down by burdens, it is because you have sinned. I will receive you and be merciful in My judgment; I will strengthen your resolve to improve and restore your lost strength.
117. Only by following My teachings will you remain in grace and preserve your spiritual and physical health. The experience you gain will be light that you gradually accumulate in your soul. (262, 20–21)
118. The soul that knows how to live vigilantly never strays from the path its Lord has laid out for it, and it is able to make use of its inheritance and gifts until it has attained its higher development.
119. This being must progress through trials because it lives vigilantly and never allows itself to be dominated by matter. Whoever watches and prays will always emerge victorious from life’s crises and traverse the path of life with a steady stride.
120. How different is the behavior of one who forgets to pray and watch! Of his own free will, he forgoes defending himself with the best weapons I have placed within human beings—which are faith, love, and the light of knowledge. He is the one who does not hear the inner voice that speaks to him through intuition, conscience, and dreams. But his heart and mind do not understand that language and do not give credence to the message of his own spirit. (278, 2–3)
121. Prayer is the means revealed to your spirit for reaching Me with your questions, your concerns, and your longing for light. Through this dialogue, you can dispel your doubts and tear away the veil that conceals some mystery.
122. Prayer is the beginning of the dialogue from spirit to spirit that will blossom in the times to come and bear fruit among this humanity.
123. Today I have revealed all this to this people who listen to Me, so that they may be the forerunners of the age of spiritualization. (276, 18-19)
