Elyon (Mark TR): This is Elyon, one among you today in equal standing before the Father. I would drink of this cup offered; I would pass this cup on and add a small contribution to its thoughts.

  Father, smile upon us today as we join in fellowship, as we seek further and deeper to discern You in our lives, Your character, Your presence, Your attributes. May this encounter here today in searching for you collectively provide each one of us with an enhanced capacity to appreciate these attributes and, having discovered new meanings in Your presence, provide us with the unerring direction to follow Your guidance, as this is the sincere desire of our hearts, collectively. Thank you now and always, Father.

  I join in this prayer with you today to reinforce the significance and the value of such honest, sincere sharing of the soul with the Father. As you have been told, the actual word phrases used are rather insignificant in this regard. What is significant is the intent, the desire, the expression that emanates from your soul directly to the Father. It is this expression that provides the Father with your experience, with your encounter with the created world. It is at such a time also appropriate to cease your petition and to remain in contact with the Father, allowing no thought/words to clutter the airwaves so that you can then receive these impressions issued from the Father as a response to your petition. If your are sincere in your petition and can cease your dialogue and listen for His response, it will be forthcoming.

This is, of course, the stillness, although prayer is distinctly separate from the stillness. Prayer can be thought of as aligning the attitude for the reception of the response from the Father, but the response of the Father invariably occurs in the space of the stillness. You will receive this direction, this response, whether or not you are cognizant of this fact. There are many levels on which you can discern this feedback from the Father, not all of which are conscious on your part. Nevertheless, the practice is well worth the effort, the energy, that it takes to attempt to align yourself thus. When you are in the presence of the knowledge that you have received this direction, this guidance, it is then your choosing to act that brings full circle to the cycle.
