Traditionally we are taught to seek God as being outside of ourselves, as something we must learn to contact by an act of will, from within outward; but if God is all and everywhere, we should seek inwardly for the feeling of being with God, for recognition of our own Godliness, for God’s power and grace in our lives. This is constantly with us, so it is more a matter of clearing away that which is not God from our consciousness. This is what prayer accomplishes.
