Stop praying for what you think you need. Pray instead for guidance.
God's Teacher is as like to His Creator as is His Son, and
through His Teacher does God proclaim His Oneness AND His Son's. Listen in
silence, and do NOT raise your voice against Him. For He teaches the miracle of
Oneness, and before HIS lesson, division disappears. Teach LIKE Him here, and
you WILL remember that you have ALWAYS created like your Father. ACIM

It is NOT "Who's Right" but "What's Right"
Jung said, "It is a bewildering thing in human life that the thing that causes the greatest fear is the source of the greatest wisdom."
Obviously his interests in “the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, synchronicity, The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI
, a popular psychometric instrument), dream analysis and symbolization, Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology,
philosophy and the occult” are

The Archbishop of the Free Churches.

B(rotherton) Meyer (
1847 – 1929), a
contemporary and friend of D.
L. Moody and A. C. Dixon, was a Baptist pastor and
evangelist in England involved in ministry and inner city mission work on both
sides of the Atlantic. Author of numerous religious books and articles, many of
which remain in print today, he was described in an obituary as The Archbishop of the Free Churches.
Habits of prayer need careful cultivation. The instinct and impulse are with us by the grace of the Holy Spirit, but we need to cultivate the gracious inward movements until they become solidified into an unbending practice.
Example in Prayer
The story of George
Muller, of James Gilmour,
or of David
Brainerd; the writings of Samuel
Rutherford, Andrew
Murray and Frances
Ridley Havergal; the poetry of Horatius
Bonar and John Keble,
are of perennial use in this direction.
