For heaven is that place, that awareness where the Soul – with all its attributes, its Mind, its Body – becomes aware of being in the presence of the Creative Forces, or one with same. That is heaven.

How Do You Pray?
Let your prayer be, "Not my way, Lord. Have Your own way with me that I may ever be a channel of blessings to those I contact day by day."
Based on Edgar Cayce reading 3084-1
It was Bill who had brought Arthur to the organization. Since then they had worked together for many years to educate people about its spiritual philosophy. Both had seen many lives transformed because of the message they carried.
Today they were walking together to lunch. Bill had just discovered he had a serious illness and probably would be dead within a year. As they walked, Bill asked, "Arthur, how would you pray for me, now?"
Arthur thought carefully. Then he said that he wouldn't pray specifically for a miracle healing for Bill, but would continue to pray for God's presence with him. Above all, Arthur would continue to pray for the work of the organization. It was this work that needed to continue long after both of them had passed on.
Bill looked at Arthur and heard the love and commitment they both shared for each other and for their work.
He quietly said, "You're right, Arthur. You're right."
APPLICATION: Prayers are powerful tools. When praying, be sure you are praying for the right things.
