Desire what you will and, behold, it stands before you. Throughout the aeons it has been yours without your knowing, even though you have but to ask for it. Sit not and ask, acting not, for unless you reach out for your desire it shall not walk your way unaided by your strong hands and arms.
This means that God will fulfill your every desire if you work with God to fulfill it. The whole power of the universe will work WITH you for its fulfilling, but it will not work FOR your while you do nothing about it.
In this promise is the key to why prayers are or are not answered. God tells you very plainly that He will give you whatever you desire, BUT YOU MUST REGIVE EQUALLY BY THE ACTION OF SERVICE TO GOD THROUGH NATURE OF YOUR FELLOWMAN.
Think that over. Recall the many prayers you have uttered and how disappointed you were because they were not answered. Most prayers are just selfish ones, continually asking for something to be given without even the intention of giving something in exchange.
Think of the thousands of entreaties which are sent up to God with the hope that what is asked for by people will just fall into their laps. You ask God for money. God says, “Yes, I will give you money, all you want of it, but what are you, yourself, giving for it? What is the price you are paying for it?” Again we quote God’s message in the Word:
He who desires riches of earth alone, denying Me in him, shall dwell in outer darkness of his own making, until he shall desire Me strongly.
Even to him will I give all he asks without stinting; yea, and even more; but he, having more than all he sought will have nothing but worthless “stuff” in his earth desire.
Things of earth which man desires are but things of earth to be returned to earth with bones of him. But things of earth, heaven blessed by Me, are as eternal in the immortality of his Self-recording Soul as Light of Me IS ETERNAL.
You ask God for peace, happiness and prosperity to be given to you, but you take peace, happiness and prosperity away from another by malicious gossiping about your neighbor or treating your servant unjustly, thus taking happiness away from him or her, or by misrepresenting the product you are selling.
Until you balance your desire for peace by giving peace, or happiness by giving happiness, or prosperity by giving prosperity, your prayer will be voided by you, yourself. The only way you can have happiness given to you by the Light of love, which God is, is for you to give love to others. You cannot take happiness or love. You can only give it. If you give love, it will as surely be given to you as light shone into a mirror will reflect light back from the mirror.
Witness the nations which have tried to become powerful, prosperous, peaceful and happy by plundering other nations. Empires who have thus taken by force, without giving equally in exchange, are heavily in debt and on rations, and for every man killed in taking wealth and happiness away from others for themselves, ten have paid the price in blood and a thousand in tears. Witness, also, the great fortunes which have been built upon that principle. No man has ever yet been able to purchase happiness, prosperity, peace or love with any other coin than happiness, peace and love.
