The Successful
Prayer
Everyone know how to pray, right?
Wrong! Most of us
do not know how to pray. Christ said, "pray rightly and your prayer will be
answered." Well, what does that mean?
What's the right way to pray?
If you're like most of us, you would measure a successful
prayer by whether or not you got what you prayed for. But getting what you
wanted was not what made your prayer successful. The true success was in the
transformation in consciousness that allowed you to have what you wanted.
Prayer is about changing who you are; the change of circumstances is automatic.
If you want to know how you pray, listen to your everyday
thinking. Notice how you end your "I AM" thoughts.
Your every thought is a prayer, and those thoughts determine what you will have
in life. Your true prayers have been answered.
What you got is what you prayed for, even though that's not what you wanted.
As Emerson said, "What you are speaks so loud I
can't hear what you say to the contrary."
In a prayer that works to produce the end result you see,
the emphasis will be on the BEING, not the HAVING.
We can't have what we ask for in prayer, as long as we're Being the one who
doesn't have it. That's because NOT HAVING is
what we believe in. Prayer is a process of
seeing yourself in a different light. In the successful prayer, you will change
your mind about who you are.
With this change of heart, you see yourself not as the one
with a problem, but as the one who has solved the problem. In a powerful prayer,
you would see yourself enjoying the fruits of your answered prayer.
When you're praying, try to capture the same attitude of
gratitude you would have when sitting at your table saying grace, know that the
food is already on the table. Raise your level of expectation to the point of
being thankful for what you are about to receive.
The rule in life is that we don't get what we want
unless it belongs to us by right of consciousness.
When you learn how to raise the level of your
expectations, you will have learned the secret of successful prayer.
God gave you the power to create your own reality, and
you've done that. You already have
everything that belongs in the reality you've chosen. Now, you want more, but
have a greater belief in the reality you've previously created than in your
power to change it. Your God-given power lies
in your ability to choose who you will be and then, have that prayer answered
through the power of attraction. He graciously gave you the power to answer your
own prayers. The rest is up to you.

Every step up in consciousness requires
giving up your attachment to the previous
level.
Real security in life is always found in letting
go, not in hanging on. When you close your fist, trying to hang on to
what you have, there will be no room in your hand for anything more.

Chapter 3 - In The Image And Likeness
Of God
from my book
"Being The Solution" -
Pg. 34
You can ignore your power, denying that you
have it, but you can't make that power go away. You've been using it all
your life, choosing who you will be, being and becoming that choice, yet
totally unaware that you have this great power.
One of the strangest attributes of this power
is that sometimes it works by seeming not to work. Those who seem to
have no power have used that power to create their own powerlessness.
The helpless got that way by choosing to BE victims, powerless to help
themselves.
