My Prayer to God

God,

What’s Your good will and pleasure for me today? For this job?

God’s Response to Me

My child, full of life and hope!

When you said you wanted to bring peace and spirituality to this workplace, whatever did you mean?

Did you assume it was only in the good you’d see God? Only in the Divine? How foolish! How naive. How childlike.

Where you are is where I’ll have you. Where I want you. Need you! Like the Earth from whom/ which You come, root and grow and stretch where you are planted!

The Divine is within you, not without [you].

I am the tree. You are the branches.

To love– pure, holy, divine– is to love the sick, the wounded, the hurt.

Hurt ones heal most.

Don’t hurry their healing like you hurry your life. Move at the pace of the body. At the pace of peace. At the pace of ME!

Your work, your love, your labor, and your faith are not in vain.

Childlike. Be childlike in Your faith, in your hope, in your Great Love.

There are three sides to each question: your side, My side, and the right side. Go in ease. Go in peace.

This post is part of a five-part series that captures one of the most profound spiritual encounters of my life—a liminal moment where I came to understand, with unshakable certainty, that prayer is not just words but a living, breathing reality. Through these experiences, God revealed His presence in ways I could not ignore, guiding, protecting, and transforming me in real-time. Each post in this series reflects a deepening of faith, trust, and divine revelation. Explore the full series:
