Prayer

What is Prayer? Why Pray? Traditionally, prayer has been seen most commonly as a way of invoking the attention of some distant diety to gain a benefit or avoid a loss. The effectiveness of prayer was thought to depend on the wothiness of the one praying, the earnestness of the petition, and some bargained promise of behavioral change.

Prayer is a cornerstone discipline for our community at the Fort Worth Center for Spiritual Living.Our approach is fundamentally different than traditional prayer. Rather than hoping to catch the attention of a God on a throne in the sky to persuade Him to change His thinking about us, we believe the only purpose of prayer is to change our own thinking-about the nature of God, and our own nature.

We believe there is a Creative Intelligence (the Universe, God, Spirit, the Quantum Field) that can be used by any person to create greater health, prosperity or love in mind, body or total life experience.

Change Your Thinking and Keep It Changed

The practice and use of this Creative Intelligence is what we call affirmative prayer or Spiritual Mind Treatment. The essence of this derives from the ancient saying, that it is done unto you as you believe. So as we realize that the thinker of the thought is first cause to his experience, to experience something different (a healing of any condition), the habitual way of thinking must change.

Hence the practice and discipline of affirmative prayer is designed to keep us in alignment with whatever we wish to experience. The manifestation of that which we desire already exists in the present moment and is simply awaiting our moving into conscious alignment with it.

In our community, those who wish to do Spiritual Mind Treatment for others may become licensed as a Practitioner. Although there is a fee for their services, no one is ever turned away because of an inability to pay. We welcome your Prayer Request.

Prayer is unique to humankind and has been practiced from time beyond memory. We encourage you no matter who you are, what you believe or how you pray, to pray always... for the health and well being of the planet, for peace and harmony in our time and for an expansion of love in the hearts of all! For we are all in this together ! Enjoy this powerful reminder with thanks to Lisa Marie Cameron.
