After posting this - I was prompted (during a meditation ... unsure) to look again at the Songs of Prayer. So have started re-reading that. My few takeaways so far: Ask, rather, to receive what is already given; to accept what is already there. (ACIM, S-1.I.1:7) Prayer is an offering; a giving up of yourself to be at one with Love. (ACIM, S-1.I.5:5) Prayer has no beginning and no end. ²It is a part of life. (ACIM, S-1.II.1:1-2) I liked all of them. Am thankful for this conversation to keep me pondering, thinking, meditating and dare I say - praying.
