Strengthening our inner connection to God strengthens our inner connection to all things.
You know that prayer can get you into places you can't; prayer changes things. Even better, prayer changes people, and people change things. So go ahead and pray.
Prayer is one of the fundamental pillars of thought therapy. It reprograms the mind about what to expect and elevates your consciousness. The ego has very few arguments that can survive the power of an earnest and heartfelt prayer.
If you are finding yourself stuck in a way of thinking that triggers certain emotional responses ask yourself one simple question: 'What is my prayer?'
Your awareness of and ability to align with your Source is just one of the many benefits of a conscious, committed prayer practice.
You know that prayer can get you into places you can't; prayer changes things. Even better, prayer changes people, and people change things. So go ahead and pray.
Prayer raises the vibration of your mental and emotional energy, making it possible for you to see what once may have seemed impossible.
Prayers are always answered. The key is to pray with faith, knowing and believing that, what you ask for, you already have!
Prayer is like planting a seed. Don't dig it up to see how it is doing! Pray for it. Release it by giving thanks.
Releasing our concerns to higher forces is an act of humility. If you have nothing to ask for, praise and thanksgiving are enough.
The Creator has placed at our disposal a wealth of natural energies that are useful healing tools. We need only ask, and help is there.
