unanswered prayers

“I thank God for unanswered prayers. Otherwise, I would have never met you.” - Declared by a bride, saying her vows to her fiancé.
“Every prayer is answered when it complies with three conditions….The first is that we realize the Divine Presence – all that we call Love, Wisdom, Wholeness – is the Source of every good thing. The second condition is that we understand that there is a creative Law which responds to us by corresponding to our belief. And the third condition is that we use It for definite purposes of good through praying affirmatively and through complete acceptance of the answer.”  – Ernest Holmes, Spiritual Awareness, p. 11
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, in all that I desire, I pray for qualities, not details. I pray for joy, love, abundance, peace, and all that the Divine yearns to give. In my relationships, in my work, and my health, I take to heart that the wholeness of God is revealed, and I allow Life to manifest the good I desire in perfect accord. Thank you, forever. Amen.
