Self Motivation Affirmation

Susan L. Taylor Says,

"When you pray, remember that you are not praying to a distant God, but to the God that dwells within you. Don't just speak the words; feel them what they mean in your life. Don't pray from your lips, but from your heart. Your prayers aren't for God, they are for you, to remind you of the presence of the Holy Spirit within you. When you say "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done," remember that you are loved and protected. God has planned greater things for us than we can imagine. The more we maintain an awareness of God's unchanging love, the safer and more at home we will feel in the world."

The quote above is a call to action of prayer but, to focus in on the words, that come from your heart. I know that when life gets to hard I pray. I dedicate this motivational to Original Copy Officer Captain Jerry Waukuwitz. He would tell me "Be true to myself" and in doing that I would pray for insight, clarity, and understanding.

I believe in the power of the holy spirit can heal, transform, and renew us in a way that is unspeakable. Our awareness of what we are saying and truly feeling at that moment of prayer is key to the transformation that will take place in us. Our words are chosen and each have power to them to speak louder than words. When we are in connection with God we can imagine greater things for us to come and as a result we feel safe and at home in the world.
