The Urantia Book says, "...real praying does attain reality. Even when the air currents are ascending, no bird can soar except by outstretched wings. Prayer elevates man because it is a technique of progressing by the utilization of the ascending spiritual currents of the universe."

So let's soar into the ascending currents that is wafting through this conference. Let us pray.

Universal Father, as we go about our activities, we pray that we are centered in you, to maintain and hold the peace, love and serenity which lies in our oneness of communion with you.

Eternal Son, as you so magnificently reveal the Father to us, we pray that we will reveal Him to our fellow brothers and sisters, with love, truth, beauty and goodness.

Infinite Spirit, as you manifest in action and thought the will of the Father, we pray that our deeds, ministrations and endeavors fulfill, enrich and spiritually invigorate our fellow creatures.

Supreme Being, as we progress from imperfection to perfection, from nothing to everything, from human errors to spiritual mastery, we pray that we can wisely co-create the values that will lead towards your completion and fulfillment.

Master Spirit of our superuniverse, in your distribution of the Cosmic Mind to us from the Infinite Spirit, we pray that we fully develop our ability to realize reality in the domains of the logical, the moral and the spiritual.

Ancients of Days, as you are the oldest being in time and space, we pray for such wisdom as you have garnered through the ages, so that we may lovingly and faithfully do the Father's will.

And Creative Son and Daughter of our local universe, beloved Michael and cherished Divine Minister, we pray, knowing fully that our prayers will be answered, for we pray that we do magnificently, majestically, and mightily all those things that you wish us to do, to look for the positive in others, to return good for evil, to proclaim the truth by living it, to master our selves, to give of ourselves, to reveal the Father, to manifest in our lives the love that has been so graciously been bestowed upon us, and last of all, but by no means the least, we pray that we be of good cheer.

All these things we pray for now, but in eternity, all these things have already come to pass.

And so it is.

Amen.
