Prayer

Prayer and Worry

/ onetusk / Leave a comment

As a daily discipline for at least a week, take time for prayer. Some days it may be for only a minute or two; on other occasions it may be for more lengthy periods. Experiment with the four types of prayer:

Confession: Recognizing and admitting, without guilty feelings, the current state of your life

Thanksgiving: Expressing appreciation for the blessings of your life

Petition: Out of the spirit of your highest ideal, asking for what you feel you need

Praise: Communicating the wonder and awe you feel when you consider the Creator.

By the end of the week, notice whether you can observe any changes in the amount of time and energy you spend on worrying.

True Nature of Prayer

Question : I want to ask something from God. What should I ask?

Osho: Go to God’s door as a lover, not as a beggar.….
…….Firstly : don’t ask for anything. That is meditation, that is feeling, that is the state of no mind. Secondly: if you do ask, then ask for godliness, ask for such a kindness that you can be accepted.

But if this much love has not arisen, then just ask that your heart is filled with love:

Fill my heart with so much love today
That I become a rejoicing lamp.
Place a drop of honey on my tongue today
So that I can even drink venom, singing.

Don’t fall below this. If you go below this then prayer becomes completely corrupted, it is no longer prayer.

Becoming such a channel is dependent upon the extent of the attunement we make to the pattern of the divine within us, and our living with consistency and persistency up to the ideals and purposes we have set for ourselves. In short, are we physically, mentally, and spiritually in accord with the prayers being prayed? Continue reading →
