Session

Lesson

Thought Adjuster: “Gratitude is paramount to receiving the blessings from on High – the opportunities received by those who want to understand and incorporate the will of the Father in their lives. Gratitude prepares the mind to accept, because those who express gratitude understand that they have received more than they needed in order to grow. Gratitude is a product of wisdom, of the experience of those who have observed in their lives that in the end everything results in the greater good, when the outcomes are left in the hands of the Father.

“This is why it is a good idea to start your meditation – the practice of Stillness – with an attitude of gratitude. In this way you leave behind your false needs and self-imposed limitations to open your mind and receive the things the Father knows you need. Prayer is more effective when a creature says, ‘your will be done’. This represents the understanding that your point of view is limited therefore you prefer to trust in the divine intelligence of the One who can see the end from the beginning and knows all the answers.

“An attitude of gratitude is also an elixir for your life. It creates a lasting peace that does not depend on the situation you may currently be facing. Those who live with the attitude of appreciation of the lessons that are presented do not complain about their current difficulties, regardless of how hard they may be, because they have discovered that anything that happens can be transformed into a ladder to move one step closer to the eternal goals of perfection and God-likeness.”
