Prayer serves as a reminder, that you are not God.

A worried mind has forgotten God

If God isn't enough for you, you will strive for the things of the world, and suffer. You will search for but never find the satisfaction that can only be found in God. Here is the lesson of lessons... to always put God first.

Here is the wisdom of the free! They no longer waste time pursuing the world. Instead, they find their joy in God, always turning to Him for comfort. They know where there sustenance lies, and are no longer deceived.

Here is the situation of Man: the more power he claims for himself, the less power he has.

Where is freedom? asks the student. 'In God' replies the teacher. For it is only here we can taste the eternal and the eternal is the only thing that is free.

Here is the pinnacle of happiness! Blessedness. A state of being where God is living 'His' life through you. Those who have risen to this level of virtue desire nothing from the world because they already have everything in God.

The world is the great temptation. The great test. Those who chase the world have the world, but those who desire God above all else have peace of spirit. They made the choice to be free rather than happy.

Everything belongs to God. Here is the wisdom children already know and adults struggle to remember. Nothing is ours. A bitter pill for those who pursue the world, but a sweet remedy for those who desire freedom above all else.

The way to freedom is not with force but with love. Do not fight the world. Do not battle it. Forgive it. Then move towards the freedom that can only be found in God
