Prayers are Answered
1. The sincerity of any prayer is the assurance of its being heard; but the spiritual wisdom and universe consistency of petition is the determiner of time, manner, and degree of the answer.
2. The cry of the righteous is the faith act of the child of God which opens the door of the Father's storehouse of goodness, truth, and mercy; and these good gifts have long been in waiting for the child's approach and personal appropriation.
3. But a wise father does not literally answer the foolish prayers of his ignorant and inexperienced children, albeit the children may derive much pleasure and real soul satisfaction from the making of such absurd petitions.
4. However, when you have become wholly dedicated to the doing of the will of God - to find him and be like him - the answer to all petitions will be forthcoming because your prayers will be in full accordance with the Father's will; and the Father's will is ever manifest throughout his vast of creation.
5. It is entirely true that when your will has been truly aligned with his, you can ask anything conceived by that will-union, and it will be granted.
6. What the true child desires and the infinite Father will ‘Is’: such a prayer cannot remain unanswered, and no other sort of petition can possibly be fully answered.

No Prayer is Unanswered!
1. When a prayer is unanswered, the delay often betokens a better answer.
2. No sincere prayer is denied.
3. The prayer of material beings can many times be answered only as such an individual has progressed to the spiritual level.
4. No prayer can hope for an answer unless it is nurtured by faith.
5. Ask and you shall receive; but you should remember that we are progressive creatures of time; there fore you must constantly reckon with the time factor in the experience of your personal reception of the full answer to your prayers.
6. Your sincere faith implies that you have in advance virtually granted your prayer Hearer the full right to answer your petitions in accordance with the wisdom and that love which your faith depicts as always to the creator to whom you pray.

God is "All"!
1. God is the only stationary, self-contained, and changeless being in the whole of creation, having no outside, no beyond, no past, and future; God is purposive energy (creative spirit) and absolute will, and these are self-existent.
2. Since God is self-existent, He is absolutely independent; the very identity of God is inimical to change; "I, the Lord, change not." God is immutable; and God can modify the manifestations of His absoluteness because divine immutability does not imply immobility.
3. God is the being of absolute self-determination; there are no limits to His universe reactions save those which are self-imposed, and His freewill acts conditioned only by those divine qualities and perfect attributes which inherently characterize His eternal nature; there fore is God related to the universe as the being of final goodness plus a free will of creature infinity.
4. God is limited in His creative acts only by the sentiments of His eternal nature and by the dictates of His infinite wisdom; God chooses only that which is infinitely perfect.

God is Our Father
1. "The Infinite is most excellent in that He imparts Himself to men;" every mortal really craves to be a complete person, to be perfect even as the Father in heaven is perfect, and such attainment is possible because in the last analysis, the "universe is truly fatherly.
2. In God, the Father freewill performances are not ruled by power, nor are they guided by intellect alone; the divine personality of God is defined as consisting in spirit and manifesting Himself to the total of creation as love!
3. Therefore, in all His personal relations with all creature personalities, He is always and consistently a loving Father.
4. God is Father in the highest sense of the term; He is eternally motivated by the perfect idealism of divine love, and that tender nature finds it's strongest expression and greatest satisfaction in loving and being loved.
5. The Father deals with His creatures in accordance with their needs and in obedience to His just laws of merciful and loving consideration for the welfare of a universe.
6. "The Father's human children have equal capacity for the reception of material blessings; therefore does He bestow things physical upon the children of men without "
7. "The Father caused His rain to fall on the just and the unjust; the sun likewise shines on the righteous and the unrighteous."
8. But "when it comes to the bestowal of spiritual gifts, the Father is limited by man's capacity for receiving these divine endowments."
9. Though "the Father is no respecter of persons, in the bestowal of spiritual gifts, He is limited by man's faith and by his willingness always to abide by the Father's will."
10. The law of the universe is: Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find; and when your will has been truly aligned with His, you can ask anything conceived by that [God-you] will-union, and it wil1 be granted.
11. To see the Father, by faith, means to acquire true spiritual insight; for spiritual insight enhances Spirit guidance, and these in the end augment God-consciousness.
12. When you attain the level of Spirit insight and spiritual interpretation which impels you to recognize in the rule of life: to do to others that which you desire others to do to you - the divine command to treat all your fellows as you conceive God would treat them, you will know then that that is the universe ideal of human relationships.
13. And it is this attitude you shall have toward all such problems when your supreme desire is ever to do the Father's will.
14. Every earth child who follows the leading of their indwelling spirit within, shall eventually know the will of God, and he who surrenders to the will of the Father shall abide forever.
15. If you are a faith-child of the Father, shall strong you shall never die; you not perish. So maintain faith in the Father and complete resignation to the divine will.

The True Meaning of Life
1. Man is a material fact of nature, but his life is a phenomenon which transcends the material levels of nature in that it exhibits the control attributes of mind and the creative qualities of spirit.
2. Life in the Father's eternal creation is not an endless rest of idleness and selfish ease but rather a ceaseless progression in grace, truth, and glory.
3. Life is basically the response of personality to total creation, whereas service is the total essence of all life.
4. Service is the means to the end of providing you the opportunity to seek, discover, and progressively attain the very Spirit expression of you.
5. The rule governing all spiritual training is learn and teach; the better you learn the technique of willing yourself to respond to your sphere of total creation as God perfectly responds to all, the better you can teach - in service to all - the wisdom of your Spiritual experiences.
6. Provide service thus for the necessity for your Spirit expressions, the manifestations of your real and better self; not self-expressions for the glorification of self.
7. And remember, the more people you serve, the more God can service others through you; and the more you give, the more God will give through you too (obviously meaning, the more you will have too!).
8. That individuals so differ in their life performances indicates, not only the varying endowments of heredity and the different influences of the environment, but also the degree of unification with the indwelling Spirit of the Father which has been achieved by self, the measure of the identification of the one with the other.
9. The consciousness of a victorious human life on earth is born of that creature faith which dares to challenge each recurring episode of existence when confronted with the awful spectacle of human limitations, by the unfailing declaration: Even if I cannot do this, there lives in me my Father who can and will do it; and that's "the victory which overcomes the world, even your faith."
10. Therefore the meaning of life is its adaptability, and the value of life is its progressability - even to the heights of God-consciousness.
