feeling loved by the Mother and Father,
as the Holy Spirit brings Their love into your soul.
Jesus' prayer for Divine Love
Jesus’ prayer as given to Mr. James. E. Padgett in 1914, and as published in the Angelic Revelations of Divine Truth.
Originally from the Padgett Messages.
The Prayer for Divine Love
OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN, WE RECOGNISE THAT THOU ART ALL HOLY AND LOVING AND MERCIFUL, AND THAT WE ARE THY CHILDREN, AND NOT THE SUBSERVIENT, SINFUL AND DEPRAVED CREATURES THAT OUR FALSE TEACHERS WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE. THAT WE ARE THE GREATEST OF THY CREATIONS, AND THE MOST WONDERFUL OF ALL THY HANDIWORK'S, AND THE OBJECTS OF THY GREAT SOUL’S LOVE AND TENDEREST CARE.
THAT THY WILL IS THAT WE BECOME AT-ONE WITH THEE AND PARTAKE OF THY GREAT LOVE WHICH THOU HAST BESTOWED UPON US THROUGH THY MERCY, AND DESIRE THAT WE BECOME, IN TRUTH, THY CHILDREN THROUGH LOVE, AND NOT THROUGH THE SACRIFICE AND DEATH OF ANY OF THY CREATURES.
WE PRAY THAT THOU WILL OPEN UP OUR SOULS TO THE INFLOWING OF THY LOVE, AND THAT THEN WILL COME THY HOLY SPIRIT TO BRING INTO OUR SOULS THIS, THY DIVINE LOVE, IN GREAT ABUNDANCE, UNTIL OUR SOULS SHALL BE TRANSFORMED INTO THE VERY ESSENCE OF THYSELF; AND THAT THERE WILL COME TO US FAITH – SUCH FAITH AS WILL CAUSE US TO REALISE THAT WE ARE TRULY THY CHILDREN AND ONE WITH THEE IN VERY SUBSTANCE, AND NOT IN IMAGE ONLY.
LET US HAVE SUCH FAITH AS WILL CAUSE US TO KNOW THAT THOU ART OUR FATHER, AND THE BESTOWER OF EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT, AND THAT ONLY WE, OURSELVES, CAN PREVENT THY LOVE CHANGING US FROM THE MORTAL INTO THE IMMORTAL.
LET US NEVER CEASE TO REALISE THAT THY LOVE IS WAITING FOR EACH AND ALL OF US, AND, THAT WHEN WE COME TO THEE IN FAITH AND EARNEST ASPIRATION, THY LOVE WILL NEVER BE WITHHOLDEN FROM US.
KEEP US IN THE SHADOW OF THY LOVE EVERY HOUR AND MOMENT OF OUR LIVES, AND HELP US TO OVERCOME ALL TEMPTATIONS OF THE FLESH, AND THE INFLUENCE OF THE POWERS OF THE EVIL ONES WHO SO CONSTANTLY SURROUND US AND ENDEAVOUR TO TURN OUR THOUGHTS AWAY FROM THEE TO THE PLEASURES AND ALLUREMENTS OF THIS WORLD.
WE THANK THEE FOR THY LOVE AND THE PRIVILEGE OF RECEIVING IT, AND WE BELIEVE THAT THOU ART OUR FATHER – THE LOVING FATHER WHO SMILES UPON US IN OUR WEAKNESS, AND IS ALWAYS READY TO HELP US AND TAKE US TO THY ARMS OF LOVE.
WE PRAY THUS WITH ALL THE EARNESTNESS AND SINCERE LONGINGS OF OUR SOULS, AND, TRUSTING IN THY LOVE, GIVE THEE ALL THE GLORY AND HONOUR AND LOVE THAT OUR FINITE SOULS CAN GIVE.
AMEN.
(Marion loves saying this prayer. Currently she says it while longing for the Divine Love in the early hours each morning after she's got up. Marion is always saying prayers to the Father asking Him for all the things she wants. And whenever she feels to say them. She doesn't expect that He will give her all she asks for, as He hasn't, however it's what she feels she wants to do, so she does it. It's what we all should do - do as we feel, and feel free to do as we please in very moment. I don't like saying formal prayers, and I'm hopeless at committing things to memory like Marion can. I usually have 'my time' with the Mother and Father as I'm going off to sleep at night. I talk with Them, say what I feel I want to ask Them for, which usually is something about helping me to see some aspect of myself - the truth of it through my feelings, that has come up through the day. Often I feel asleep in the middle of my talking with Them. Sometimes I feel They are so 'there' that there is nothing else in existence. Marion doesn't directly speak with the Father, she just says all she feels to Him. And she likes to call God her Father. I like to speak directly to Them and hear Their replies - mostly which consist of a few short words before Their 'light' is too much for me and my mind has to pull away and go onto something else.)
Examples of some of Marion's prayers
She'd written these and other meaningful truths that occurred to her, on small posters that we Blue-Taced to the wall of the prayer room in the first apartment we shared together. We conscientiously prayed together in the 'prayer room', but now we just pray informally whenever the feelings take us. Occasionally we express our prayers, longing, wishes and desires out loud, but mostly we speak internally to the Mother and Father as our feelings take us. The latest prayer Marion is saying to the Father is for Him not to make her feel bad any longer, to only make her feel good. And she's asking Him for the perfect place for us to live. She often tells Him her list of what she'd like Him to give us.

Father
Please help me, I don’t know what to do.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOTHER AND FATHER
Please help me bring the truth out
Please help me set myself free
I can’t do it… I need Your help
PLEASE help me!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Father,
Please help me to bring out my problems… everything I’ve got a problem with.
Please help me to see the TRUTH of everything that’s within me – particularly everything that’s wrong.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please my dear Heavenly Father can You help me to find and see all the hidden causes within me that are making me feel bad? I want to see them so I can understand the truth of them: how they were put in me, how they have been controlling my life, and why I’m unconscious of them.
Please Father, I want to know the whole truth of myself, please help bring up my all my repressed childhood feelings, and help me to accept and express them so I can find the truth of them.
And please will You fill my soul with Your Divine Love as I long to You for It.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some examples of my prayers
Mother and Father,
I feel bloody awful today.
I have a headache and I feel very miserable.
I feel lonely and depressed.
I no longer want to feel this way.
Please help me to uncover the truth of why I do feel like this – I really want to know.
I don't want to feel bad anymore!
And please help me to accept the truth when it comes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is this happening to me?
I want to know!
I want to see the TRUTH
NOW!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hate you Mother and Father.
You've given me such a shit-awful life.
Nothing I do works for me.
I feel like shit.
I don't love You.
How can I?
I don't feel any love.
I don't feel loved by You.
But I want to.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I WANT TO BE FIXED!
I DON'T WANT TO BE WRONG
I DON'T WANT TO BE BAD
I DON'T WANT TO BE EVIL
I WANT TO BE TRUE!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mother and Father
Why do I have to beg and ask You saying Please?
Please will You help me heal my soul.
When it's You who've put me here in the first place.
You've made me as I am.
Saying please to you feels like I'm saying please to my gaolers.
So how about it?
I don't want to be untrue anymore...
PLEASE heal me.
PLEASE help me see the truth of all I am repressing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mother and Father I want Your Love, Your Divine Love.
I want to get to know You,
I want to become at-one with You.
I want to be like You, and I want to be as perfect as You are.
Please help me with these things.
Mother and Father I long for Your Divine Love.
Please fill my heart and soul with it.
Please help me to do whatever it is I need to do to become as You are.
Please help my soul become divine.
Mother and Father I want to be true.
I want to live true to myself – my soul – and true to You.
I long to know and see and realise the truth of all that I am and all that You are.
Please help me to live true, to live the Truth.
Please help me see the truths You want me to see.
Please help me to live the truths Mary and Jesus are revealing.
We are James... keep longing, Your Father and I do love you.
The Trinity of Longing
Long for the Mother and Father’s Divine Love. Long for the Truth They want you to see. Long to do what They want you to do. We can pray and long for these things generally and specifically. While we say these prayers we are longing hard with all our heart and will for what we’re asking for. For example: Long - pray - generally: Mother and Father please fill my soul with Your Divine Love. Mother and Father please help me to see Truth You want me to see. Mother and Father please help me to do what You want me to do. Long - pray - specifically: for example, when you feel angry and you're expressing your bad feelings; Mother and Father please help me to see the Truth of why I feel angry. Please help me to see what You want me to do about my angry feelings. Please help me to express them truly. Please help me to FEEL ALL MY ANGER. Please help me to stop trying to deny it. Please help me to uncover the truth of it. Mother and Father - why am I angry, again! Please give me Your Love. And when you’re confused and feel frustrated, blocked: Please help me to release all my repressed feelings to do with this problem. Please help me to see and feel and understand the truth You want me to know. Please help me to do whatever it is You know I need to do to see the truth and unblock and bring up my repressed feelings. Please help me to speak about all I feel, so I can find the truth of it. And please fill my soul with Your Divine Love. Another example: You hear a noise you don’t like; Please help me to see the truth of why I don’t like that road-making noise; why it makes me so FUCKING ANGRY. Please help me to see the truth You want me to see. Please help me to freely express my anger and rage. I hate the fucking noise, it's unbearable. I feel like they are drilling into my brain. Please show me why I feel so angry about it, why it's getting to me. Please help me to uncover the truth of why I feel so bad; what was it during my early childhood that made me feel like this. Living the Trinity of Longing We are Love, Truth and Spirit (which includes Mind - which includes Feeling and Action). We long for the DIVINE LOVE, we long for the TRUTH, and we long to know what to DO, which begins with our speaking and expressing our bad feelings. In doing our soul-healing we long to perfect ourselves, so we can express and be these three main attributes of our personality. So we need to long to our Mother and Father to help us live this Trinity. To help us live how They want us to: the way They know will make us feel good, true and loved. And when we are living true to our feelings, true to our will, then so too are we naturally living true to Them, and so true to Their Will. |
A note about prayers and praying
Your prayers are to be your personal expression - what you feel. To simply pray with your mind, to rote pray having learnt someone else's prayer, or even your own, will mean that that prayer will not be heard. If you were God, would you want to hear a repetitive feeling-less prayer a million times over. A mind prayer is a dead prayer - there's not feeling in it; a heart or feeling prayer is alive, and so we are told, can carry all the way to Paradise, to the heart of our Heavenly Parents. A mind-only prayer will fail to move Them, but a feeling-prayer will always elicit help. They will always respond - in some way. However, also feel free to pray and express your feelings with your mind. We have to use our mind to say what we feel, what we want and what we are longing for, but back up this mind expression with a heartfelt sincere longing - a longing, a yearning, a desire, a genuine 'want' that is expressed without words, being only a feeling. You can pray only by longing, desiring, wanting and yearning - without using words, and these prayers too will always be acknowledged. Your act of prayer is you mobilizing your will, it is you putting yourself forward, out there, expressing what you want and how you want it to be. It is yourself having a direct impact in Creation - making yourself known, heard. It is a direct wilful expression of your soul. And when you pray, do so with no expectation of you getting what you want. You are 'calling' out to the Mother and Father for help, and if They want to help you, They will, but They feel to help you, and not in response to a command or demand from you. And yet, when you are expressing all your bad feelings, remember to express your feelings exactly as you feel them, as they want to be expressed, so if that includes you literally calling out to God demanding and commanding, do so. Don't hold back. You don't have to ALWAYS be NICE to God; you do have to ALWAYS be true to what you feel. And if you use Jesus' prayer, although in his messages to Mr. Padgett he says that it's the only prayer you need offer the Father (and Mother), it is, in as much as it says, all that is pertinent; however, if you keep repeating ONLY Jesus' prayer or any other, failing to express your own feeling-prayers, the trap is that over time and with familiarity, you might just start using the prayer as a mental tool - yet another way to avoid and fend off your bad feelings. True salvation comes from doing your soul-healing. All the rest is only more of the same: keeping yourself in your negative and evil state of mind and will.
We’re not already supposed to have faith, nor are we already supposed to believe; we’re to get faith through experiences so we trust, and then with such faith we can believe, and even go further, and know.

All we attribute to the Mother and Father is how our parents treated us - even how we believe they treated us. That is until we’ve healed our negative condition. We can only see God through the eyes we see our parents, until we've healed such illusion.
God made us in His and Her image. That means that living in our natural love states as we are, we can manifest all the image of God we want. And currently we’re manifesting the negative or perhaps we could say, the 'nether' image of God. But mostly we don’t want to think of God as having a ‘bad’ side. However it might not be bad, as we only feel and experience it to be so whilst trapped in our self-denying states of mind and will. Maybe it is all love, and maybe one day we’ll understand it all. But in the meantime we have to face and accept the truth of how we feel. And if we feel unloved, then that is our truth.
