Affirmative Prayer

When most people think of prayer, they think of asking God for something.  However, there is another way to pray called affirmative prayer.

Rather than begging or beseeching God, this method involves connecting with the spirit of God within and asserting positive beliefs about the desired outcome. Affirmative prayer is the same method of prayer Jesus taught when he said, ‘So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.’ (Mark 11:24).

If, for example, one were to pray traditionally, one might say: ‘Please God, help me find a job.’ By contrast, an affirmative prayer might be: ‘I am now guided to my right and perfect employment.’

Affirmative prayer reflects the certainty that we are each being led to our highest good, despite any temporary appearances.

Metaphysicians believe that thoughts transmit magnetic energy and this energy attracts other energy of the same frequency. Whether you are conscious of it or not, your thoughts are transmitting energy that is attracting more of the same. When you remain focused on your intentions, you will draw those things into your life.

Rosemary Ellen Guiley, author of Prayer Works, states that affirmative prayer ‘sets into motion the forces that enable us to manifest what we pray for.’

She adds, ‘Prayer is ineffective when it is accompanied or followed by negative thinking, or the endless repeating of affirmations. We have to put power and intensity into our thought, change our thought, and believe in the guidance we are receiving. If we spend energy on negative beliefs and feelings, we will get negative results, even if we and others pray daily for us. For example, if you pray for a job and then complain to others that you have no job or can’t find one, you are undermining your prayer.’

By using an affirmative prayer approach, we can visualize and plan for the future with faith that the power of God is continually blessing our lives with unlimited possibilities. Affirmative prayer leads to an awakening of our spiritual selves. In faith, we pray giving thanks in advance that the Universe is meeting our every need.”  unityonline.org

Get to Know Your Real Partner ∞The Creators

“And when you are in what you call the early stages of a relationship with another, there is that getting to know you period when you are in discovery of each other and what each of you brings to the party. Once you have settled in, you tend to think you know the other person, backwards and forwards. You know what makes them tick. You know how to push their buttons.

And so you get into the period of expectation, where now you think the other one simply runs on autopilot and will always be the way they were when you discovered everything that you think you know about them. And this gives you all a sense of stability. You like to know what to expect. You like to plan around certain things because many of you like to avoid sticky situations, uncomfortable emotions, and so on.

But when you give your partner the freedom to surprise you, to be who it is they are completely in every moment and to demonstrate to you their ability to expand and to turn off their autopilot, that is when you really have something. That is when you are able to discover even more.

And when you are willing and able to let go of preconceived notions about the one you think you know so well, that is when you can begin to let go of your own self-imposed limitations and surprise even yourself. We recommend that you let go and let yourself and your partner discover just how unpredictable you can be.”  danielscranton.com

Understanding – Sanaya Says

“Disagreements.  They break up relationships, families, friendships.  At the root of this is finger-pointing and misunderstanding.  What is lacking is the heart.  When two or more begin placing blame, it is quite easy to fall into automated “I am right and you are wrong” programming.  Ego loves this.  It keeps you from seeing all perspectives from a higher viewpoint.  Yes, there may well be a wrong that has occurred … unacceptable behavior … but can you deal with each other from the heart?

When you keep compassion and flexibility of viewpoint in your dealings, the result will always be higher and healthier.  Do you see why love is the answer?  It may not resolve an issue if a wrong has truly occurred, but it will bring healing and understanding along the way and prevent other mistakes from being made.” suzannegiesemann.com

Choose Joy

“The achievement of anything that you desire must be considered success, whether it is a trophy or money or relationships or things. But if you will let your standard of success be your achievement of joy—everything else will fall easily into place. For in the finding of joy, you are finding vibrational alignment with the resources of the Universe.”

Seth – Your Purpose

“Once you wholeheartedly accept life on life’s terms, then you may indeed get what you are after, but not while you insist upon it as a condition for continued existence… Your own purpose will make life a daily joy when you let your conditions go!

You must live in the faith that your purpose is, and will be fulfilled, is being fulfilled.  You must live in the faith that you have such a purpose and meaning, or you would not be here.”

P. 192, Jane Roberts, The Seth Material
