Not all prayers are answered. Everyone knows that. Skeptics see this as evidence that prayers does not work. What they overlook is that for prayer to work, it must be used effectively, with a clear understanding of its scientific basis. Only then can we know why a particular prayer was not effective and arrive at a practical method to make it more effective.
What if you find your prayers are not answered as you would like? what then? You must understand the principle reasons for such a failure. These are: Lack of confidence and too much effort. Many people block answers to their prayers by failing to fully comprehend to working of their subconscious mind. When you know how your mind functions, you gain a measure of confidence.
You must remember that whenever your subconscious mind accepts an idea, it immediately begins to execute it. It uses all its mighty resources to that end. It mobilizes all the mental and spiritual laws of your deeper mind. This law is true for good ideas, but it holds true for bad ideas as well. Consequently, if you use your subconscious mind negatively, it brings trouble, failure and confusion. When you use it constructively, it brings guidance, freedom, and peace of mind.
The right answer is inevitable when your thoughts are positive, constructive, and loving. From this it is obvious that the only thing you have to do in order to overcome failure is to get your subconscious to accept your idea or request. Feel its reality now and law of your mind will do the rest. Turn over your request with faith and confidence, and your subconscious will take over and answer for you.
Any time you try to force your subconscious mind to do something for you, you will fail. The results you want will become more distant instead of closer. Your subconscious mind does not respond to mental coercion. It responds to your faith or conscious mind acceptance.
Your failure to get results may also be a consequence of mentally making sum statements as:
- Things are getting worse.
- I see no way out.
- It is hopeless.
- I'm all mixed up.
When you use such statements, you get no response or cooperation from your subconscious mind. Like a soldier marking time, you go neither forward nor backward. In other words, you don't get anywhere.
Use Imagine-power Not Willpower : Enlisting the powers of your subconscious mind in not like pushing against an obstacle. Working harder does not lead to better results. Use no willpower. Instead, visualize the end and the state of freedom it produces. You will find your intellect trying to get in the way, trying to find ways to solve the problem and impose those ways on your subconscious.
Resist this. Put away your intellectual problem-solving skills. Persist in maintaining a simple, childlike, miracle making faith. Picture yourself without the ailment or problem. Imagine the emotional gratification of the freedom state you want. Cut out all red tape from the process. The simple way is the best.
The Steps To Success In Prayer : 1. Acknowledge or admit the problem. 2. Turn the problem over to the subconscious mind, which alone knows the most effective solution or way out. 3. Rest with a sense of deep conviction that it is done.
Doubts and hesitations only weaken your prayer. Do not say to yourself, "I hope this work." Your feeling about the work to be done sets the tone. Harmony is yours. Know that health is yours.
