The Prayer for Divine Love
The Prayer for Divine Love
The prayer below (sometimes called the Prayer Perfect) was given by Jesus to James Padgett to be delivered to the world with the publication of Padgett's messages from Jesus and other spirits from the Celestial Heavens. The first version below is a modern and personal version which is more suitable to an individual who is praying for the Divine Love.*
The second version is the verbatum prayer as delivered by Jesus and which seems to me to be more suitable to group prayer.
You can use either version of the prayer when praying for the Divine Love, or you can use your own adaptation of the prayer to ask for the Divine Love. The words are meant to spark the longing in your soul for the inflowing of the Divine Love and whatever words you use that can accomplish that longing are okay.
For example, I am not a good memorizer of text so my version of the prayer for the Divine Love incorporates some of what is here and also incorporates my own language.
My Father, Who is in Heaven, I recognise that You are All Holy and Loving and Merciful, and that I am Your child, and not the subservient, sinful, and depraved creature that false teachers would have me believe.
I know that I am the greatest of Your creations, and the most wonderful of all Your Handiworks, and the object of Your Great Soul’s Love and Tenderest Care.
I know that Your Will is that I become at-one with You and partake of Your Great Love which You have bestowed upon me through Your Mercy and Desire that I become, in truth, Your child through Love, and not through the sacrifice and death of any of Your
Creatures.
I pray that You will open up my soul to the inflowing of Your Love, and that then will come to me Your Holy Spirit to bring into my soul this, Your Divine Love, in great abundance, until my soul is transformed into the very essence of Yourself; and that there will come to me faith – such faith as will cause me to realize that I truly am your child and one with You in very substance, and not in image only.
Let me have such faith, as will cause me to know that You are my Father, and the bestower of every good and perfect gift, and that, only I myself, can prevent Your Love from changing me from the mortal to the immortal.
Let me never cease to realise that Your Love is waiting for each and all of us, and, that when I come to You, in faith and earnest aspiration, Your Love will never be withheld from me.
Keep me in the shadow of Your Love every hour and moment of my life, and help me to overcome all the temptations of the flesh, and the influence of the powers of the evil ones who so constantly surround me and endeavour to turn my thoughts away from You to the
pleasures and allurements of this world.
I thank you for Your Love and the privilege of receiving it, and I believe that You are my Father – the Loving Father who smiles upon me in my weakness, and is always ready to help me and take me into Your Arms of Love.
I pray this with all the earnestness and sincere longings of my soul, and, trusting in Your Love, give You all the glory and honour and love that my finite soul can give.
AMEN
Our
Father, who art in heaven, we recognize that Thou art all Holy and
loving and merciful, and that we are Thy children, and not the
subservient, sinful and depraved creatures that our false teachers would
have us believe. That we are the greatest of Thy creation, and the most
wonderful of all Thy handiworks, and the objects of Thy great soul's
love and tenderest care.
That
Thy will is, that we become at one with Thee, and partake of Thy great
love which Thou hast bestowed upon us through Thy mercy and desire that
we become, in truth, Thy children, through love, and not through the
sacrifice and death of any one of Thy creatures.
We
pray that Thou will open up our souls to the inflowing of Thy love, and
that then may come Thy Holy Spirit to bring into our souls this, Thy
love in great abundance, until our souls shall be transformed into the
very essence of Thyself; and that there may come to us faith - such
faith as will cause us to realize that we are truly Thy children and one
with Thee in very substance and not in image only.
Let
us have such faith as will cause us to know that Thou art our Father,
and the bestower of every good and perfect gift, and that only we,
ourselves, can prevent Thy love changing us from the mortal to the
immortal.
Let
us never cease to realize that Thy love is waiting for each and all of
us, and that when we come to Thee, in faith and earnest aspiration, Thy
love will never be with-holden from us.
Keep
us in the shadow of Thy love every hour and moment of our lives, and
help us to overcome all temptations of the flesh, and the influence of
the powers of the evil ones, which so constantly surround us and
endeavor to turn our thoughts away from Thee to the pleasures and
allurements of this world.
We
thank Thee for Thy love and the privilege of receiving it, and we
believe that Thou art our Father - the loving Father who smiles upon us
in our weakness, and is always ready to help us and take us to Thy arms
of love.
We
pray thus with all the earnestness and longings of our souls, and
trusting in Thy love, give Thee all the glory and honor and love that
our finite souls can give.
AMEN
