I am reminded it through prayer that our hate and fear are relieved.
In the past my prayers were asking and begging for things to turn out how I wanted, rather selfish of me.
This type of prayer often left me with more resentments and hate.
I have since moved away from that style of prayer.
In my experience prayer is simply statements of appreciation. Saying thank you for each experience throughout my day gives me a conscious connection to what I choose to call God.
In my gratitude I open my eyes to more things for which I get to hold appreciation and in turn I get more awareness of God.
In my awareness of the Love that is God I lose sight of that which I used to fear or hate.
May each of you allow yourself the gift of gratitude today.
You are Love and Loved.
