The state of the world right now has many of us wrestling with fear and heartbreak, grief and terror bigger than some of us have ever felt. But here’s the thing: the Divine is in all of it, truly. It’s in the quiet moments of stillness and beauty, AND it’s in the chaos and noise too. This series is here to bring you into conscious direct relationship with this Greater Reality so that you too can begin to see that there is nothing in your life—no challenge, no difficulty—that is outside the reach of Divine love.

TRUTH!: The Divine is omnipresent..everywhere at all times..never missing. Which also means that not only is it in the mess of this time but it also means that we all have the Divine within us. It’s there, quietly waiting like a seed in the soil, ready to bloom. The question is, are we paying attention? Are we tuning into the infinite love and goodness that already reside within us? Are we ready to consciously welcome the presence of the Divine, to fall in love with it, and let it bring us more alive than we’ve ever been before? 

I want you to fall head over heels in love with the Divine within. I’m not talking about a fleeting infatuation. I’m talking about a love that changes everything—how you see yourself, how you see others, and how you show up in the world. It’s about that deep, grounded, soul-shifting connection that comes when we truly understand that we are never apart from Spirit. You are not born of original sin! You were born of original Love!. You are already whole, already loved and you awake and alive with this truth is your greatest contribution to the world around you.

Ernest Holmes, the founder of Science of Mind, wrote in Science of Mind Magazine in 1926   “We believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-Kindness, and the eternal Givingness of Life to All.” This declaration is more than words. It’s an experience available to everyone of us. Life is always giving to us—always, in every breath, in every sunrise, in every moment. It’s a constant, unrelenting flow of divine love, waiting for us to open our arms and say, “Yes, I’m ready. I’m ready to receive and be fully present in this divine exchange.”

But here’s another part of this Reality: to truly experience this Love, we must be willing to connect with It and in It, to get into intimate relationship with It, to be with the Divine. The invitation this month is to deepen your relationship with the Greater Reality through prayer. Sri Chinmoy says, “I must realize that my God-satisfaction is only a prayer away. Therefore, let me embark on my prayer-journey lovingly and confidently.” 

In this series, we’ll focus on the practice of prayer—not as another habit to stack or a “should,” but as an invitation to sit with the Divine, to listen, to receive, and to fall more in love with the Presence that is always with us. The more we connect, the more we come alive. I’m not talking about a polite nod to Spirit; I mean diving in, letting yourself be swept up in the loving embrace of the Divine that’s always, always there. To rest in Love’s presence, to feel the stirring of goodness in your own being, to catch the spark of a Divine idea, to feel the buzz of uplifting energy filling every cell in your body..this and more is available to you in the practice of prayer.

In the words of Ernest Holmes: “If we look at love long enough, we shall become lovely, for this is the way of love. God is Love. If we gaze longingly at joy, it will make its home with us, and we shall enter its portals and be happy. If we seek the Divine in [people], we shall find it, and be entertaining angels unawares.” This is the natural outcome of prayer practice: as we fall in love with the Divine within, we become more connected to the goodness that is our true and sacred nature. And, let me tell you, when you start to really feel that connection, you begin to see the Divine everywhere—especially in others. We not only begin to notice the angels walking among us…We become those angels.

This is your invitation to truly experience oneness with the Divine. And because you do..you are filled up to overflow with the power of this experience coming more alive and blooming into the fullness of who you truly are. 

So, here’s what I want you to do: commit to practice. Commit to getting into conversation with the Divine. Let the practice of prayer become your living connection to the goodness, loving-kindness, and eternal givingness of life. And as you do, I promise you—your life will bloom in ways you never imagined. You will fall more deeply in love with yourself, with the world around you, and with the divine presence that connects us all. There has never been a time more important than now to wake up, open your heart, and let the Divine’s eternal love bring you more alive, more awake, and more powerful than ever.
