Since we listen to the
voice of the Great Spirit we are happy.

Perhaps
one of the greatest rewards of meditation and prayer is the sense of belonging that comes to
us. We no longer live in a completely hostile world. We are no longer lost and
frightened and purposeless. The moment we catch even a glimpse of God's will,
the moment we begin to see truth, justice, and love as the real and eternal
things in life, we are no longer deeply disturbed by all the seeming evidence
to the contrary that surrounds us in purely human affairs. We know that God
lovingly watches over us. We know that when we turn to Him, all will be well
with us, here and hereafter.
