The power of prayer

Before I get to my latest post...Dearest Heavenly Father, I thank you for your saving grace and unconditional love. I thank you for all the blessings-past, present, and future-that you have bestowed upon me. I thank you for your forgiveness; for I know that I am not without sin. Let my every action praise you. Amen.

I haven't posted in quite some time-too long. I am not sure what I want to do with this space, but I know I am not going to do the Bridget Jones's Diary-esque fictional type blog I had originally thought I would.

While I decide what I want to do with this blog, here are notes I took while reading a part of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy.

Desire is prayer.

"...shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which
he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." Mark
11:23

The law of your mind is the law of belief. Change the cause, you change the effect.

"Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there
be any praise, thing on these things." Phil. 4:8

1) Look within for the answer to your heart's desire.
2) Tap into, release powers of the subconscious mind.
3)Subconscious mind has answers to all problems.
4) Subconscious mind can heal.
5) Every thought is a cause, every condition an effect.
6) Convey what you desire, your subconscious will respond accordingly.
7) Give your subconscious the right orders.
8) Don't negate yourself. Affirm!
9) The law of life: the law of belief
10) Change your thoughts, change your destiny.

**Whatever you claim mentally, your subconscious mind will accept and bring forth into your experience. Hence, the importance of selecting thoughts, ideas, and premises that bless, heal, inspire, and fill your soul with joy.

**In themselves, the suggestions of others have no power over you. When you accept them, then your subconscious works to bring it into existence. Remember, you have the capacity to choose. Choose life! Choose love! Choose health!

I didn't get very far into the book, did I? So, how to apply that short bit to our daily prayer ritual? How to mesh it all into our incessant prayer? Every situation we are faced with, we need to decide whether we are going to prove God's omnipotence or our own frailty. When we can walk in confidence with consistency and stability, knowing that there is nothing too big for God, our mindset changes. Instead of whining and complaining about the little things, we start to think how we can use the minor grievances and aggravating situations to be an example of Christ.

Thank you for your comments. Have a blessed day! Please come again!
