Prayer from Love to Love

Instinct for Newness

Feb 10, 2011

Saying For Today: When you truly pray, you are aligning with Love, agreeing with what the Beloved wills for all creation.


Welcome to OneLife Ministries, an online ministry of Brian Kenneth Wilcox Ministries and Love Light Fellowship. This site is here to lead you into a heart experience of Divine Presence, Who is Love. We recognize “that of the Sacred in each one” and celebrate the diversity of expressions of our Oneness in Grace. We are for peace and nonviolence, and equal rights and justice for all. I hope persons of varied wisdom paths will find inspiration here. Welcome!

Blessings,

Faith Affirmation of Love Light Fellowship

An Interspiritual-Interfaith-Integral Life Community


To all who enter this sacred space, we wish the receiving of the Light of Divine Presence, to bless you, and those near you, and strengthen for all good service, in Love. Love is in the Air, in many forms of manifestation... receive...


Just as a mother with her own life
Protects her child, her only child, from harm,
So within yourself let grow
A boundless love for all creatures.

*Universal Love Prayer. From Buddhism. The Metta Sutra.

*Michael W. Smith. "Breathe."

Entering the Inner Sanctuary

Enter this sanctuary time by settling down, becoming quiet, and breathing deeply a few breaths. Remind yourself you are in the Presence of Love. This place you are entering, within, is the inner Temple. Here, you are One with Spirit and all persons, and Nature. You may use a mantra, or prayer phrase, follow the breathing in-and-out, or witness the arising and falling of all around you as the manifestation of universal-Grace. Enjoy these moments of Quiet and come out when you are ready. The following video is provided, for those who would like meditative music to accompany your Quiet contemplation:

Spiritual Teaching

Be consistent, always praying in Spirit...

*Christian New Testament, Ephesians 6.18

* * *

There is in us an instinct for newness, for renewal, for a liberation of creative power. We seek to awaken in ourselves a force which really changes our lives from within. And yet the same instinct tells us that this change is a recovery of that which is deepest, most original, most personal in ourselves. To be born again is not to become somebody else, but to become ourselves.

*Thomas Merton. Love and Living.

* * *

Prayer essentially is not asking for things, even the best. Prayer is a conduit of the Life Force into the world. The Life Force is always Loving, intending the best for everyone, and for you. Prayer, spiritually, is an expression of the One who is Love, however you understand That.

Words provide a form for the entrance of the Formless into the phenomenal world. Prayer, then, is a co-creative act with the Divine Source.

When you pray, you are sharing in the removal of selfishness from your mind-heart stream. When you pray, truly, you are becoming godly. When you truly pray, you are aligning with Love, agreeing with what the Beloved wills for all creation.

Therefore, pray from Love to Love. Pray, in order to be more Loving.
