practicing the presence

“Two boys were perched on a limb of a tall tree when it snapped, causing them to fall. One prayed vigorously during the fall, and he was injured. The other boy, however, didn’t pray in mid-fall, and he was unhurt. The injured boy cried, “It’s not fair. I prayed during the fall and got hurt. But you didn’t pray and you’re okay. How come?” To which the second lad replied, ‘I was already prayed up.’” - Charles Fillmore
Affirmative prayer: Today, I practice the Presence, steeped in a holy consciousness. My ceaseless prayer is a knowing that the Divine is everywhere present. I am safe, cared for, and blessed with an everlasting love. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
