then he slinks in

Do not let down your guard against the evil one.

He is waiting for you to feel you are doing well with our relationship, then he will attack.

So, before, I have spoken to you about contentment and discontentment.  (#99, Feb. 26/13)

What I want here is for you never to be so content with our relationship that you do not work on it each day.

When you get content with our relationship do you slack off?

Do you think things are going well and don’t need to get better?

Do you feel that I won’t ask more of you so you do not have to commit to Me each day, to joyfully serving Me each day?

Once the devil sniffs that you feel content and do not need to grow closer, check your conscience, pray regularly and more, then he slinks in.

He knows that, due to our human nature, we must keep a close contact with the Lord or we will slip up and that is when he is ready to strike.

I WARN you, most solemnly, this can happen.  It has happened to good people throughout the World.

Just when we think we have it altogether with the  Lord, then we are on a very slippery slope.

That is why I beg you each day to surrender the All of you to Me and allow your soul to express it to Me more than once a day, as often as need be.

I told you that you need to commit and recommit yourself to Me time and time again.

AND it is never a waste of your time to do this.

No, No, No.

Because each time during a day that you do this, again you strengthen your soul and thereby our relationship.

Be most content to pray more than often throughout each day.

Be so aware that your tender soul needs your constant attention.  

Be most content to spend more time with Me than with yourself!

Grace of a Prayerful Heart

#1191    Friday,  July 31/20       2:45pm      home

Do not stop praying --- anywhere, anytime do not think that I do not Love to hear from you more and more and more.

Now, it is NOT a test --- how many times can, should I pray today?  Rather it is a union between the 2 of us that is more united than not.

So, a prayer can be long or short.  

A prayer can stop you in your tracks, or can be said as you go along.

Do not worry about when and how and which one you should say.

Ask Me for the Grace of a Prayerful Heart  -- one that is willing to let thanks slip from your lips or mind often and more often.

One that, when I ask you to put all else aside and pray, does so.  

I don’t want you to be confined to this hour or that hour to pray.  I want your heart so open and ready to pray at any time.

---  in the middle of the night when you wake up --- pray.

---  on your walk  --  pray

---  as you look for the tv channel changer --- pray. 

---  walking up or down the steps --- pray.

Note the number of times when you are not praying, yet still talking to yourself about your plans.

Your inner tongue is busy with this and that.  So, now that you know this, stop your mind chatting and pray.

The time we waste not praying.  The souls we could help by praying.

Come to think of it, why do you pray?

Have you asked yourself that question lately?

Why do I pray?

--- to ask for something?

--- to beseech healing?

--- to thank the Lord?

Do you pray just to chat with Me?

Hmmm – good question --- why would I want to do that Lord?

Oh, I don’t know --- perhaps because we are just good friends?

Talk to Me about the small things

--- the little bird singing its head off!

--- the fly that wants to bug you by flying around your food!

--- the flowers that bloom each so special, each with their own character!

So you see, instead of saying these things to yourself include Me, your Friend, in this conversation.

Can you imagine how delighted I am to hear from you about the Joy you find in My Creation!

First and Foremost

I want to share with you what I have in mind for you.

No, this is not an individual note, but yet a note to each individual who reads this.

I want ALL to know My Words of Love and Compassion.

You can’t imagine how much I Love you and want you well.

I give you each Word as daily bread for your soul.

The Words I share with you have more Power than the food that fuels your body.

You know, that even if you eat well, stay fit, etc. that you are not whole and all well  because you have not fed your precious soul.

How, where did we forget we are made of body and soul?

How have we not shared the Word of Who I am and how I have Created each human being?

I want you to start to believe this most sincerely and seriously --- that first and

foremost you feed your soul with My Words, Love and Compassion.

With a well fed soul you will be able to treat your dear body with greater care and love.  

Think of it.  When we are trying to get our body well what are we doing it for?

To live longer?

To live healthier?

Yet, what good is a well body if it is not carrying an even greater treasure – the Lord?

You are perhaps a well body but that is really only the shell of who you really are.

A well body and even an unwell body can move about in the World without making much impact, unless it is carrying and caring for the Lord within it.

So, I ask you to take it up several notches.

Firstly, come to Me and ask Me to instill in you, daily, the Graces to maintain a healthy soul that can then better express itself to the World.

What does a great looking body show the World?  Does it reflect Me and My Wondrous Love, Mercy and Compassion?

It can mind you, BUT, only if it first has a fit soul --- fit to proclaim Me with generosity and love.
