The Altitude of Prayer

In The Altitude of Prayer, Joel Goldsmith gives the reader a new and fresh understanding of prayer and how to practice it. Contrary to popular belief, Goldsmith says, prayer is not our speaking to God. Rather it is God speaking to us. He explains that prayer does not require words or thoughts; it calls for stillness and silence. Prayer is an attitude, an altitude, and an atmosphere, he says. It is a state of consciousness, a commending of our souls, our destinies, our very selves into the hands of God.

True prayer opens a new dimension in our lives as we receive impartations from our true Self, the full and complete expression of God within. We avoid the inharmonies and discords of human life and climb to the highest altitudes of Spirit, where we see an expanded horizon of life’s grandeur and possibilities. Our contact with this infinite Source within brings forth and maintains harmony, beauty, peace, wholeness and completeness, and we live by Grace.
