If prayer helps us out of trouble, it certainly helps us to keep out of trouble.
Don’t wait for a problem to occur to find a reason to pray. Pray ahead of time and stay out of trouble. It’s the easier way to live.
Employ preventative prayer

Good advice – thanks Evan
Brief but powerful! Pray without ceasing knowing God is taking you all the way!
Love that picture! And thanks for reminding me that “consistent prayer is the desire to do right”.
Picture is fabulous!
Idea is extremely important. It’s why our “dailies” are so crucial!
Love

Thanks so much, Evan! It’s funny, I always thought touching hands in prayer was a gesture of petition. Looking at this cute picture, I notice it’s really an interiorizing gesture, sending us inside and connecting us to present perfection. (Like our gesture for “OK” copies the Hindu mudra of meditative equipoise, and has a similar function.)
Thanks, Jay! Or it could be a gesture to keep our mouth shut so we can listen to the Inner Voice. Actually in Eastern Practice, the hands are usually pressed against the Heart – to remind us to stay in the Heart Center and out of the Head!
Thank you Evan.
I sent this on to a friend who seems to be deep in trouble.
An encouragement to pray and trust God.
I love the sweet child praying. Let this be the innocence of each of us,
as child of God.
A Crack in the Door
From where you look
You see Me not,
Yet I am everywhere.
Imagine I AM–
All the Spirit, Substance, Mind and Love
That exists…
The only infinite
One Reality.
Imagine I hear your prayer
That opens a Door
So you see and feel
The Kingdom.
Imagine My Kingdom
Flowing into your dream
Through an
Ever-widening door…
Replacing dream with Reality.
Imagine no more,
My love,
My child…
Imagine no more
As you walk through
The Door…
For this magnificent
Kingdom has always
Been yours!
Oh thank you Maximo for that inspiring poem, which in turn inspires me to ad some suitable words to make that heavenly Kingdom for sure forever ”… and to us will
