Turn to love. Turn to God. Drench your minds in thoughts of God's love pouring down upon you, like honeyed rain, sticking to your imaginations, smoothing those wrinkled thoughts, bringing the peace of love's reality, the truth of God's good will toward man, woman, and child. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2002-04-07-Resource_of_Love#Lesson Alana]

==Ego as Servant==
The ego is a term to describe the functioning of mortal mind in the organizing and planning arenas. It is not a negative entity which you should eschew at all costs, but ego needs to be subservient to spirit in order that its function be restrained so that it can become more trustworthy and therefore trusted servant of the personality. When this subservience is manifest on the part of the ego, the personality can become properly unified and no longer is in an unbalanced state, but in the synergy of all aspects around the central core, which is that settled, consistent dedication of the will of the individual mortal to do the will of God. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2002-04-26-Joy#Lesson Klarixiska]
==Prayer as Exercise==
Prayer is exercise and is effective in numerous ways when you are encountering difficulty. It is contributory to recovery, but it must also be used for addressing ordinary, normal, healthful conditions as well. In other words, prayer is more like exercise than it is medicine. By engaging in internal dialogue you maintain a spiritual vitality; you retain youthfulness in a psychological sense, for you refresh continually your relationship with the divine spirit. Then through this continual engagement you are strengthened to face those hardships, many of which are unavoidable on an evolutionary world.
An athlete trains to be strong to face the challenge of the game, the sport, but the athlete knows that even with strength there can be any day an injury. That ever present peril does not defeat the athlete, for the athlete knows that through vigorous training many injuries are avoidable. The athlete knows that no training at all may avoid an injury but leaves one open to the potential of far more injuries not developed if one is fit. Prayer is a fitness program. It stabilizes the soul when the pressure is on. It strengthens you for when the wind blows and the sun is hot. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2002-04-28-Stillness,_Prayer,_Healing#Prayer.2C_Health Jessona]
