True Prayer - Psalm 65:2

Review of "The Song of Prayer" Text: The group transitioned to discussing their reading material, "The Song of Prayer," which Jevon Perra has read previously but has difficulty recalling. Jevon Perra confirmed they are working through Part One, likely starting on or around verse six.Interpretation of True Prayer and the Echo: Jevon Perra explained their interpretation of a line from verse three, "you can't ask for the echo because the song is the gift," suggesting that the echo represents the after-effects or external things people desire, such as money or a spa day. The true gift, the song of heaven, is the peace and contentment that they already possess, emphasizing that not one note of this song has ever been missed.Understanding Prayer as Acceptance and Communion: The discussion moved to verse six, which addresses how those who have not yet reached the level of fearlessly accepted prayer still need help. Jevon Perra highlighted that this type of prayer is not about trying to get God to change things, but rather about releasing judgments or waking up from the dream. Denise Darlene agreed, stating that true prayer is putting oneself in the presence of God—communion—rather than telling God problems.Prayer as Thanksgiving and the Concept of Namaste: Jevon Perra cited verse seven, explaining that praying to Christ in anyone is true prayer because it is a gift of thanks to the Father, referencing the concept of Namaste as acknowledging the divine presence in others. Denise Darlene noted that the power of prayer lies in it asking for nothing and receiving everything, describing it as a song of thanksgiving for what they already are.The Goal of Union with God vs. Worldly Achievement: Denise Darlene emphasized that everything God is is already theirs, and prayer is simply union with God, leading to a state of gratitude and bliss. Jevon Perra contrasted this with the worldly "accomplishment game" where people pray to change situations, seeking a desired result they label as "good" and avoiding an undesired result they label as "bad". Denise Darlene affirmed that everything unfolding is for their highest good, even undesired outcomes, because they often do not know their own best interests.Distinction Between Deserving and Best Interest: Soo Kim discussed their past experience of seeking a raise and being insulted instead, which ultimately led them to leave the company and receive a greater raise elsewhere. Denise Darlene pointed out that they got what they deserved, which was leaving the company, and that the entire sequence of events unfolded perfectly for their highest good. Denise Darlene cautioned against seeking external validation, stating that circumstances reflect what they inherently believe to be true about themselves.Three Ways to Interpret Life and the Role of Personality: Jevon Perra introduced three ways to interpret life: how to get what they want, how to develop their personality, and "Who am I?". They suggested that non-dual texts point to the third conversation, emphasizing that the personality is not the self, and thus the personality's achievements or failures do not affect the true self. Denise Darlene concluded that the ultimate desire is to awaken to the truth of being one with God, which often happens through adversity and challenges.The "Strongarming" Approach to Spiritual Practice: Soo Kim expressed an internal conflict, acknowledging the concept of divine union but still clinging to the idea that intense effort or a specific "formula" (like waking up at 3:45 AM for 40 days) is required to achieve desired outcomes. They asked how getting what they want is not the answer if achieving it still happens.Ego's Desire for Wanting and Responsibility: Denise Darlene cited *A Course in Miracles* stating the ego's mantra is "seek but never find," constantly moving from one desire to the next. Denise Darlene explained that when one understands that God is their only source, everything is a gift, leading to gratitude and an experience of life as a surrendered vessel, which the ego resists because it loses the ability to take credit or assign blame.The "Game" of Life and the Roller Coaster Analogy: Jevon Perra suggested reframing the achievement pursuit as a game, noting that the trouble arises when they forget they are playing a game. Denise Darlene suggested a roller coaster analogy to visualize the concept that they are not the doer and are not changing the ride.Suffering as Resistance to Pain: Jevon Perra defined suffering as resistance to the experience they call pain, emphasizing that while circumstances (pain) may be scripted, suffering does not have to occur. Jevon Perra cited Victor Frankl's experience in a Nazi concentration camp to illustrate how changing the story—creating meaning—provided a reprieve from suffering without changing the underlying painful circumstances.Surrender During Difficult Experiences:

You can't ask for the echo. The song is the gift. ACIM. Song of Prayer The participants decided to resume reading *A Course in Miracles*, specifically *The Song of Prayer*, after having read the introduction in the last session. They located the text, which is at the back of the book, in the section reserved for the "most spiritually advanced".Reading and Interpretation of "True Prayer" (Part 1): Soo Kim read the first section of "True Prayer," noting that prayer is a way to reach God, not merely a question or entreaty, and "it asks for nothing". Jevon Perra interpreted the core issue with typical prayer as wanting "to get God to do something".Understanding God's Answers and Experience: The group discussed the concept that true prayer is receiving what is already given, as opposed to asking for something specific, because the reality is already complete. They noted that the Holy Spirit provides answers that suit the level of need one can recognize, and the "real sound" is a "song of thanksgiving and of love". Jevon Perra commented that people often desire negative experiences, and the only proof that they want the experience is the fact that they are having it.The Role of the Holy Spirit and Letting Go: Jevon Perra discussed how the Holy Spirit gently brings people back to awareness and gives them moments of peace, which reminds them that their suffering comes from gripping an attachment to a specific plan. The process involves letting go of the "have to" and questioning how one's life is "already perfect" underneath the frantic effort to make it different.Enneagram and the Belief in Lack: Soo Kim asked what belief drives the need to cling to attachments, suggesting it stems from a belief that one lacks something. Jevon Perra provided a brief overview of the core dispositions for Enneagram types one through eight, relating each to a particular lack they focus on, like 'not right,' 'needs help,' 'not enough to know,' or 'dangerous'.Desire for Separation and Ultimate Goal: Jevon Perra argued that all this focus on 'wrongness' distracts people from the 'darkness' so they can maintain separation and feel special. They asserted that the ultimate goal is to "stay Javon," leading Brian Genovese to jokingly suggest a line of "Enlightened Clothing" with a T-shirt for each Enneagram number.The Constant Song of Thanksgiving and Love: Jevon Perra circled back to the "real sound" being a song of thanksgiving and love, which serves as a constant comforting hope. They reflected on telling themself that "it's okay, it's going to be okay" when fearing they might fail their family. Brian Genovese related this concept to an old radio show called "Eggbach" that used the slogan "Everything's going to be okay" during the 1970s.The Definition of True Prayer and Eternity: Soo Kim read that "The secret of true prayer is to forget the things you think you need," and that asking for specifics is overlooked when those needs are given up to God. God "answers only for eternity," meaning the answers address one's ultimate completeness, not their requests based on attachment.Religious Contexts and Personal Attachment: Jevon Perra noted that while religious circles often demand adherence to God's will, the text points to a personal surrender of one's attachment to a particular result, which is the true source of suffering. They argued that no matter what one achieves, they will end up in the same mental state they are in now.The Concept of God as Love vs. a Person: Soo Kim recounted a conversation with Mormons about whether it is possible to disobey the will of God. They challenged the idea of God being a person, arguing that to be a person requires a limited perspective, which contradicts the concept of an all-knowing God.Highest State of Contentment: Jevon Perra proposed that the highest state for a human while in a body is contentment, which they define as wanting nothing else. They asserted that suffering arises from the lack of contentment and attachment, regardless of whether the attachment is to wealth or virtuous goals like wisdom or service.Prayer as Stepping Aside and Listening: Soo Kim read Verse five, which defines prayer as "a stepping aside, a letting go, a quiet time of listening and loving," rather than a supplication. This is a way of remembering one's inherent holiness and is an offering of self "to be at one with love," leaving nothing left to want.Suffering and Control: Brian Genovese discussed how people are programmed to seek control and that the act of "Jesus, help me" is an expression of letting go. Jevon Perra agreed that people believe they would be better masters than the masters they currently work for.The Non-Judgmental View of Experience: Jevon Perra stressed that the activities people engage in, even those considered immoral, are not inherently bad because they are all part of an experience that is sought for the purpose of finding contentment. The issue is realizing that these behaviors are often not working to bring the desired happiness.Anecdote of Parental Frustration and Enforcement of Will: Jevon Perra shared a personal anecdote about their frustration with their eight-year-old child not going to bed, leading them to contemplate punishment. They realized that their suffering came from resisting the situation and attempting to enforce their will, thereby confirming that they were attached to a different outcome.Resistance to What Is Happening: Jevon Perra clarified that the course is focused on the resistance and attachment to a desired outcome, which actually gets them stuck and hinders their ability to change and achieve their goals. The resulting anger is an experience inflicted upon themself, which they suffer from because they are aware of the peaceful states available through forgiveness and letting go.Anger and the Earning of Goals: The group discussed whether anger is necessary to fight for goals, with Brian Genovese suggesting that if one does not suffer, they did not "earn it". Soo Kim suggested that the anger shows one cares about the goal.Anger as a Tool and the Enneagram Eight: Jevon Perra connected the use of anger to the Enneagram Eight temperament, where anger is a tool and a sign of authenticity and passion. They acknowledged that Eights have the power to be a "stronghold for a whole community," but reiterated that if one desires contentment, anger is not the state to pursue.Conclusion on Contentment and Attachment: Jevon Perra summarized that contentment, peace, and happiness are available now, and the story one tells themself about why they cannot have it is the thing to let go. They concluded that one should continue pursuing their goals but without being attached to the outcome or the specific method of achieving it, as attachment is what causes suffering.Discussion of Suffering and the Need to Be Special: Jevon Perra discussed how some individuals, whom they compare to the stereotypical number four personality type, are often creative and artistic but experience significant internal darkness because their unique, special, and separate identity is paramount. Soo Kim added that narcissists share this trait, finding the prospect of being ordinary to be the "worst thing". Brian Genovese described this focus on self-created struggles as "gourmet suffering".Connecting Disappointment to Personal Goals: Jevon Perra admitted that their personal goals were ultimately disappointing, contrary to the expectation that these goals would lead to happiness. Brian Genovese advised that happiness comes from being consistent and setting intentions without expectations, which helps in achieving goals while avoiding tension and stress.Strategy of Going with the Flow: Brian Genovese shared their approach to day-to-day life, which involves letting go of stress, setting a schedule based on incoming requests, and "going with the flow". This relaxed approach led Brian Genovese to realize that they could secure a consulting opportunity with developers for an entitlement project, demonstrating the benefit of putting themself out there. Jevon Perra acknowledged that they struggle with consistency in this strategy, admitting to being "good and bad" at going with the flow.Challenges to Maintaining Consistency: Brian Genovese admitted that certain situations, such as driving or dealing with people who attempt to undermine them, cause a negative reaction. Brian Genovese expressed that they have to constantly "block that back door" against others who attempt to override their decision-making abilities or try to show they are superior. Jevon Perra agreed that Brian Genovese should not let those individuals "get away with that".Concluding Thoughts on Contentment: As the meeting concluded, Jevon Perra reminded themself and the group of the importance of being "content". All participants shared thanks and expressed wishes for a good weekend.

This week Darrin jumps back into his series from Daniel as he finishes up a message on true prayer.

True Prayer is not entreaty. Entreaty is "asking for stuff." If we perceive a need unmet, we usually pray for it through a "prayer of entreaty." This is not the highest form of prayer. This does not mean that "needs" will not come up for us, but True Prayer would see that the fulfillment of that "need" is already provided. Our number one need is our awareness of our Divine Connection with our Source Energy, Who meets all of our needs already. True Prayer is one of gratitude and thanksgiving. This is our premier focus with prayers. We can ask the Holy Spirit to ANSWER our prayers in the faith that any need we have is already being met. "All the help we can accept will be provided, and not one need we have will not be met." So where is the "need" to "entreat?" We pray and ask for nothing, because we recognize we already have enerything. AMEN.

This week Pastor Darrin continues his series through Daniel as he looks at chapter 9 and Daniels powerful heartfelt prayer to God.

Prayer is not a performance. Meditation is not an escape. Both are acts of alignment. Across Jewish, Christian, and Buddhist traditions, prayer and meditation were once daily acts of remembering, aligning, and living truthfully—not private rituals or self-help tools. This essay explores how we've lost that meaning—and how to find it again.

There is a secret to true prayer, that's so simple people don't realize how healing and effective it is. True prayer isn't about asking for things but about remembering that we already have everything we need in God and diving deeply into that knowing. In this week's episode, drawing from The Song of Prayer, I unpacked the heart of true prayer as an offering, a letting go, a deep resting into Love itself. I shared my living experience of transformation, shedding the old, and embracing true prayer. To learn more about ⁠A Course in Miracles⁠ please visit ⁠JenniferHadley.com⁠.

Today, we dive deep into Charles Spurgeon's profound sermon titled "True Prayer, True Power." Spurgeon unpacks the essence of prayer, urging believers to approach God with definite desires and unwavering faith. He emphasizes that prayer is not merely a duty but a divine privilege, one that should be cherished and approached with earnest expectation.As he explores the text from Mark 11:24, Spurgeon challenges us to examine our own prayer lives, encouraging us to pray with purpose and passion. He highlights the importance of having specific objects of prayer, fervent desires, and an expectation of receiving what we ask for. Through vivid illustrations and heartfelt exhortation, Spurgeon reminds us that prayer is a powerful weapon.Join us as we reflect on the transformative nature of prayer and how it can lead us into deeper communion with our Creator. *Minor modernization has been added*If you find our content enriching and wish to support us, consider contributing through Buy Me a Coffee, Patreon, or visiting our shop.
