"For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways" ~ Psalm 91:11

Query for today: 

• Are we alone?
• When we walk do the Angels and Christ also walk with us?  

Maybe it depends on if we ask for that guidance or not?  I was once told by a clairvoyant that when we are children the angels are with us always and take care of us, but when we become adults we must actively ask for their help.  

That'd be prayer. 

I kind of don't like the idea of prayer as a "beseeching for self interest" exercise ... but ... in the context of being accompanied by our angels I think it might be apropos. So I ask for guidance to walk in the light and ask that my angels walk with me and guide me in the ways of righteousness.  By righteousness I mean literally "right standing with God."  This is not IMHO moralizing about what other people are doing, but what I AM DOING.  It is entirely about my relationship with the divine. 

I like the Quaker idea of "do your best with what you have been given."  Not everyone is going to be Moses or MLK and hear the Burning Bush or See the mountain top, but we all have our own capacities.  And I truly believe that "when we ask it is given."  It might not be today or tomorrow, but time unfurls the gifts of the spirit as they ripen. 

We can also ask for help from each other.  As humans progress toward becoming more whole and complete in their own development with the help of the spiritual world they are naturally supportive of others on a developmental path; and this support furthers not just one but both. 

If the divine = love then all of our striving inwardly and outwardly is to arrive at a place in which love is present. Love that is free of ego but love that is also self-aware and aware of others.   

The Christian impulse in our time (from ONE AD onwards.  2000 plus years) is to realize that love is the way and to ask for help in that endeavor.  We are not alone.
