Praying Scientifically

Praying on or “treating” a problem or difficulty is simple, but not easy. First, get quiet, do not try to control your thoughts, anyone who says they control the random thoughts that float up into their consciousness is selling a book or seminar. We do not control thoughts, what we do control is our response/action when a thought surfaces in our consciousness.

We do this by turning our attention to God, contemplating on what we know about His Love, His Guidance, and our connection to Him as Father to child. We do not under any pretext think about the issue we are treating, praying about at this time.

Next, we read a short passage from any spiritual tome that appeals to us and then take a few moments in contemplative meditation to consider what was just read. The purpose of this is to center our thoughts in Spirit, to place our attention there, to raise our consciousness.

Now we take two or three cleansing breaths, breathing in deeply through the nose, exhaling through the mouth. We then claim quietly that which we lack or the situation/condition requiring healing. Of paramount importance is to always ask in the affirmative. If we ask in the manner of: “I need” money, health, peace, serenity etc what we will demonstrate is more need. We will be affirming need, not abundance. If money or resources are lacking we ask that our life be a demonstration of abundance. If it is employment, we ask to be of service to God and our fellows, for the perfect position for our unique set of abilities. Health, in general, ask to demonstrate a healed and vital radiance, for a specific ill or condition ask for a healing, visualizing the body free of the condition. If the demonstration is to assist another, we frame our words carefully so that only positive and affirming actions are employed. Remember, words have power.

As we are making our demonstration we see it from the end, as an accomplished fact and thank God for accomplishing it.  Under no condition discuss the treatment with anyone; it is between God and us alone. When you find yourself drifting back into thinking about the difficulty, and we all do, we stop as soon as we become aware and give it back to God with thanks, for prayers of thanksgiving are the most powerful of all.
