Devotions: Prayer

Extracts from The Healing Light
by A. Sanford
God is both within and without us. He is the source of all life: the creator of the universe.
He is also the indwelling life of our own
little selves. And just as a whole world full of electricity will not light a house unless the house itself is prepared to receive that
electricity, so the infinite and eternal life of God cannot help us unless we are prepared to receive that life within ourselves.
Only the amount of God
that we can get in us will work for us.
“The kingdom of God is within you,” Jesus said.
Luke 17:21

God does things through us (not for us).
God is omnipotent.
He can do as He likes but He has made a world that runs by law, and He does not like to break those laws.
Roses will bloom in winter if we adapt our greenhouses to His laws of heat and light that the rose needs.

He can also produce a full-blown answer
to prayer ….if….
we adapt to His laws of love and faith.
