2129 Prayer - union with God.... significant process....

October 26, 1941: Book 30

Only a few people realize how significant the process of union with God is. But these few strive with all fervour for union with God, for they know of the strength that flows to them as a result, they know that such a supply of strength is blissful and that there is nothing equal to it. And what they have once recognized is decisive for their life on earth. The majority of people, however, remain untouched when they are informed that the union with God is something unutterably delicious. They only feel purely earthly and cannot empathize with spiritual feelings. They remain in a defensive attitude when wisdoms are imparted to them which touch spiritual areas and consequently cannot feel the flow of strength either, since it remains ineffective in case of resistance. And thus contact can never be established between people and God, and the disadvantage of this is so inconceivable for the human soul, for it only reaches ascent through God's grace, which in turn can only be acquired by recognizing and striving towards the eternal deity. The influx of divine grace is always the result of union with God in prayer.... For requesting God's grace is prayer, and this always presupposes spiritual union with God. Praying people can never fall, i.e. remain distant from God. They will always come closer to God, for they seek Him, they desire Him and His strength, and thus they also receive His strength and grace. But this inevitably leads upwards. Whoever prays unites with God.... for as long as he prays, in order to connect with Him more and more intimately and finally to be completely united with Him. He who prays recognizes God as a power to whom he is subject. He submits to Him with his full will, he is no longer in secret or open opposition to God, and thus God can provide him with His love and His power.... with His spirit.... And whoever receives the spirit from God is in contact with the spiritual kingdom. Knowledge comes to him and thus he stands in the light.... And all this is brought about by conscious union with God.... All of this results in heartfelt prayer, which is therefore the most significant process for the human being as long as he remains on earth. For prayer is the testimony of his will and his decision in favour of God.... He who prays fervently has made a decision for God of his own free will, and he returns to the one from Whom he started....

Amen
