Let Us talk of prayer a little bit.

Talking to Me and prayer may or may not be the same. Telling Me what is in your heart is one story. Asking for favors or intercession is another, even when those matters are deep in your heart. Will you start thinking that there is no need to ask Me for favors for yourself or for anyone? Will you begin thinking that it is no favor for Me to give and that all has been given to you already? There is nothing for you to ask for. Do you really think you have to ask? Do you think I would forget you?

Often prayer is a pleading, and you have no need to plead, beloved. Often prayer is begging, and you have no need to beg. I am your Father, yet you do not have to come to Me to ask for an allowance for yourself or another. We have a pre-life agreement, beloveds, that unto you, all will be given. It is written in. All My treasures are yours. They are for you in the first place. Do you really think that you have to ask Me for that which is already My Will for you? Do you really think you have to ask Me to bless you or another? You have only to pick up all the good that is yours.

I am talking about your mindset. It is a beautiful thing for you to say, "God bless you," because you are describing what already is. When you ask Me to give blessings to you or another, you are being redundant. Your prayers were answered long ago, way before you thought to ask for whatever it is you ask for. Bear in mind that there is change in the relative world, and there is the playing-out that does not always allow the specifics you may ask for. Let this not be an offense to you, beloveds.

Here's the point: Get away from the idea that you are missing anything. There is no Lost and Found Department in Heaven. There is no lost, yet all is found.

I do not wish you to think of yourself as someone in need. Nor do I wish you to think of someone else as in need. Nor do I wish you to think that you have a better connection to Me than someone else. Nor do I want you to think that someone else is less fortunate than you or more fortunate than you.

Know that you are fortunate, and all others are also fortunate. This is big what I am saying to you now. You have good fortune. You are blessed with good fortune.

It is well for you not to think of yourself or anyone as ill. If Christ had believed deeply in illness, whom would he have helped to make well? In his mind, he saw wellness, and wellness there was. Had he seen sickly beings, they would have stayed sickly beings. He saw as I see, and I ask you to see as I do see.

If it is true that I am in everyone — and it is true — then it behooves you not to look down on anyone. It behooves you to look for the good, beloveds. Do not think there is anyone you have to pray for.

Now that I have said all this, know that it is good to talk to Me whatever the subject. I want to hear from you. I love to hear from you. I do not listen so much to your words as I do listen to your heart.

I know very well that you want to be with Me, so be with Me any way you want. I welcome you on whatever terms you wish to come to Me. If you like to be on your knees, I don't mind. I kiss the top of your head then. Stand, and I kiss your forehead or your cheek. But in whatever position you are in, wherever you are, in church or at the corner bar, I bless you. I am always blessing you. You are blessed. You are My blessing, and you have My blessings. What more can you ask for?
