Prayer, in its broadest sense, is an act of communion with God.  Without all the sterile explanations or instructions on how to Pray...The main rule is to simply Have a conversation with God the same way you would a dear loving friend! 

I suggest you do this all throughout the day, as often as possible.  "In all thy ways acknowledge him (God) and he shall direct your paths"  In every area of your life give God acknowledgement, glory, honor, praise, power!  Know, that you know, that you know ...that God the magnificent Presence...the same one that set the planets in orbit and gives life to all... is supporting you right now in all that you do. 

Pray often!  Pray about everything! Remember to say thank you!  God is always answering our prayers and I want to encourage each of you (as well as remind myself) to show some gratitude for the wonderful gifts we are constantly being given. 

If you can read this...Thank you God...If you can hear...Thank you God...If you can smell...Thank you God...If you have ever seen a tree, grass, a lake, or heard the beautiful sound of either a bird singing or the roar of the ocean waves...Thank God & to God be all the Glory because we live, move and have our being in God & we have so much to be grateful for!

Peace, Blessings, Light & Love,

AND...

May you always experience & express your absolute best!

This next part is our organizations explanation about prayer

AFFIRMATIVE PRAYER is not supplication or petition, but recognition and acceptance that God is all there is, that there is no spot where God is not; that we are all Spiritual Beings here and now, and that all the abundance of the universe is already ours if we accept and embody it.

SCIENTIFIC PRAYER is based on our knowledge that the universe is a Wholeness in which God as Presence ( or Love ) works continuously as Principle ( or Law ) to manifest as form or effect, that this Creative Process takes place in a provable, reproducible manner, and that we can consciously allow it to bring about changes in our lives.

The five stages of treatment provide a structure and technique which empower this process.

1)Recognition Ex: There is one life and that life is God

2)Unification:  That life is my life now and it is also the life of__________(if praying for another) 

3)Realization/Declaration :  I am knowing the highest possible good is happening in this situation.  I know that all is well & wonderful because all is God. (Declare what you want to see happen as a result which already is the Truth since God is all Good!

4)Thanks/Gratitude :  I give thanks for this new cause set in motion by the power of this word

5) Release:  I let it all go into the perfect divine action of the law.  (Basically you are letting go and letting God handle (his/her/its) business)

As in any kind of prayer, the faith and conviction of the one praying are vital ingredients in the effectiveness of the prayer. "Pure faith is a spiritual conviction," says Holmes. "It is the acquiescence of the mind, the embodiment of an idea..... If I jump up and down and scream 'I am rich, all that God has is mine,' that is dynamic, but unless it means something to me, unless I am One with the substance of the belief, nothing will happen. Jesus, announcing the same Law of Mind, said, "It is done unto you as you believe."
