Things mentioned in this episode:

E Stanley Jones said, Prayer is surrender -- surrender to the will of God and cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boathook from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull, do I pull the shore to me or do I pull myself to the shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.

“Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.”

Science has proven that everything that exists is made up of the same energy. Regardless of its physical form, its essence is that life giving energy, or the soul that connects us all.

Power is found when you are doing your Ego rather than your Ego doing you.

When we align our Ego with the God within us and the God outside of us, we find our flow state.

Our Ego allows us to have the human experience and to remember who we truly are.  They are not opposed to one another fundamentally.

We have a God within us that is made up of energy and God outside of us that is also making up all that exists apart from us.  We need to seek harmony with all of that energy.  When I am fully present in the moment, I can feel the energy all around me, guiding me on the correct path.

Praying without ceasing is living in alignment with truth and being fully present.

1. Pray always. This can be giving thanks or expressing a request. To pray is to live in relationship with God. This is like any relationship, or like learning any skill. It takes time, focus, and devotion to advance that relationship. One must speak as well as listen to have a true relationship.
2. Never give up!  Be careful of the stories in your mind that attempt to derail you. Martin Luther said, “Pray as if everything depends on God, then work as if everything depends on you.”  When you are clear on God’s will for your life and you stay focused on that will, the work is in the alignment with that truth.
3. Keep the faith. This means staying in that place of being the observer / chooser. It is in maintaining alignment with truth and allowing God’s timing to work instead of trying to use the Ego’s timing. Sometimes the tough times are the very lesson or shift that is needed to achieve the greatness intended in God’s will.  Lean into those times and embrace the process.

When you commit to these 3 actions, you commit to being in alignment with God.  And, you commit to a life of peace, purpose, and profit. Consider joining my Facebook community, called Shift.  You can find it at www.ajamyx.com/commnity.

And, pray without ceasing… Never give up… and Keep the faith!
