Inner Silence gives spriitual power

You have much more power than you give yourself credit for. Do not choose hopelessness and resignation in the face of the world. Instead recognize that you have complete power to create the world you choose. The way to develop this power is to first create an inner silence in your life. As long as you are constantly engaged in the material world your power will be limited by material concepts. The more you enter inner silence the greater will be your connection to the source of unlimited power.

Inner silence includes the act of prayer. Prayer should be an internal act of communion with your conception of God. It does not do any good to make an external show of prayer in order to impress others. This merely gives more power to your ego. Praying for  things you want or even praying for others is not an advanced form of prayer. The most appropriate prayer is one of gratitude. When you are sincerely grateful for everything you are blessed with in life, even if it isn’t what you think you want or need at this time you are deepening your loving relationship with God. Trust the judgment of the universe and gratefully accept that everything that occurs in your life will ultimately increase your spiritual strength.
