Dear Goddess,  Today’s radio interview with August Gold helped me envision a  different direction for my life sharing prayers with all of you. Sharing prayers is a spiritual practice. We share Prayers with one another here on this prayer blog every day. When one or more come together in a spirit of prayer, miracles do happen.

I would like to encourage people to write their own prayers. August Gold said that prayer is a conversation we are having with life. Life is not what happens to us, but what happens for us.

This way of looking at life turns us into Victors rather than Victims.

At the end of the show, August Gold recommended a special exercise for all of us here.

As we leave the house every day, August Gold recommended that we  ask this special question: “Where are you? Let me see Your Face!”  (The face of Divinity).

Then we go about our day. August says that this is a very powerful exercise. The answer to our question will show up in ways we may not recognize.

Mother Teresa used to always call the lepers, “Christ the Leper.” I think she might’ve gotten that from St. Francis, who used to be  terrified of lepers until he saw them all as Jesus Himself.

So as we exercise our spiritual prayer muscle, we are growing our faith. August says that Faith is defined by our experience, not by ancestrial belief systems, or by faith as defined by some one else.

When we develop faith because we have lived it, then we are free.

Prayer does this for those of us who pray.

Om Peace Amen
