"Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven."
Enable us to know, as in heaven, so on earth, God is omnipotent, supreme.
"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
Genesis 1:3
"The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory."
Isaiah 60:19
"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
2 Corinthians 4:6
"This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
1 John 1:5
"The manifestation of God through mortals is as light passing through the window-pane. The light and the glass never mingle, but as matter, the glass is less opaque than the walls. The mortal mind through which Truth appears most vividly is that one which has lost much materiality--much error--in order to become a better transparency for Truth. Then, like a cloud melting into thin vapor, it no longer hides the sun."

You - yes you - are the Light of God made manifest!
So don't be surprised when others find you spiritually attractive. Instead, pass your gratitude back to God, gratitude that you are becoming a transparency for His likeness, His Light. And notice now too how you see that same Light being reflected to you in everyone you see and and everyone you meet! Receive the Love that comes with that. And be ready to live that Love, to reflect the blessing God gives you to share with those around you in those moments.
Don't be afraid to be spiritually attractive! It just means you are about your Father's business. It just means you have an opportunity to be a blessing to everyone you see and everyone you meet. Just be sure to get ego out of the way. Then you'll truly be God's reflection and let Him do the shining!

"After this manner therefore pray ye..."
"Our Master taught his disciples one brief prayer, which we name after him the Lord's Prayer. Our Master said, "After this manner therefore pray ye," and then he gave that prayer which
covers all human needs."
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"
Express your desires this way. Offer them up - sacrifice them - give them up! And for what?
"Not my will, but Thine, be done!"
Not my will - my desire - but Thy will, Thy desire be done. Where? in consciousness first, in soul, in thought awakening to a new and higher purer sense of desire, a desire that is:
What more could you possibly ask for?
So thank You for Your Life that You give us, Your Truth that awakens in us, Your Love that You shine in us. This is Your light. We will not let it hide under a bushel! This light is Your embodiment. There is nothing about us that is or can be unlike that Light. Your light shines in us, as us, everpresent Love reflected in love. And Love always leads us to exactly where we need to be and to what we love to do.
Thank you Father-Mother God.

Not my will - my desire - but Thy will, Thy desire be done. Where? in consciousness first, in soul, in thought awakening to a new and higher purer sense of desire, a desire that is:
- awakened from all egotism by the fire of "Hallowed be Thy name"
- healed of all loneliness by the fire of "Thy kingdom come"
- purged of all obstinance by the fire of "Thy will be done"
- cured of all lack by the fire of "Give us this day our daily bread"
- lifted out of all selfishness by the fire of "Forgive us our debts"
- led out of all temptation by the fire of "Deliver us from evil"
What more could you possibly ask for?
