ACIM Lesson 339 Prayer

"I will receive whatever I request."
This lesson asserts that we receive exactly what we ask for, but often we are confused about what we truly want. We may mistakenly seek pain or fear, believing it to be pleasure or happiness, and thus experience suffering. We are encouraged to resolve today to ask only for what we truly desire, seeking fearlessness and joy without confusing pain with pleasure or fear with love.
