| The Heart of compassion |
As
for the proper way to pray: I had always thought it particularly cruel of a
supposedly loving God to leave us floundering around without knowing how to
pray rightly. How could that be? It smacks of magical thinking to consider that I
might have gotten the formula, or the incantation, wrong: or that I was leaving
something out: perhaps I even might have had the name of God or His/Her address
wrong!
The truth is that it was none of
the above. It was nothing more than a matter of the heart. Whenever I have honestly
surrendered my will to that of the Heart of Compassion, those prayers were
answered unequivocally. It has nothing to do with the words or the form. It has
to do with my honest intention. At last, when I prayed through the fog of doubt
on that day the desire to drink was lifted and my alcoholism was relieved, I
didn’t pray to stop drinking so much as I prayed earnestly... it went something like,
“… give me the direction and I will follow.”
