O My God. O My God. O My God.
What a great prayer eh? Yet we so often hear it said not in a praying context.
But make it a prayerful expression for you. Make it a rejoicing prayer encounter for you.
By saying it 3 times like this, you address The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Let it express your exuberant Trust in Me, in the 3 persons in One.
Say it when you are happy or sad or just anytime at all.
It is a salutation that calls you more into My Presence. Even though you are calling out to us, it brings you, makes you more present to us.
That is – We are always with you, but due to life’s distractions, you may not always be as present to us. So by uttering this prayer it raises your soul into a higher conscientiousness of Us to you and you to Us.
Whisper it. Shout it out loud.
You may yell it in anger “O my God I can’t find my glasses” -- but let these words draw you into prayer.
So you say the same sentence again but this time not in anger but in a prayerful mode.
See how the phrase said in anger gets your blood boiling.
But, if you follow it with saying it in a prayerful fashion, see the difference in how it makes you feel.
O My God said in anger does not call Me to pay attention because you don’t want My Help you are only venting your frustration.
O My God said in the next breath is a prayerful request to have Me help you look for your glasses.
And even if you do not find them quickly, you are still in a better, calmer place for your body and soul to live and work together.
So if you catch yourself saying O My God in anger, or upset, or shock or surprise, do not hesitate to follow it quickly with O My God said prayerfully.
This second approach will keep you happier and heathier in the long run.
Thank you for stopping and writing. Thank you for hearing My Voice and responding.
Go in Peace and take O My God with you!
