Wayne Dyer often spoke about prayer as a universal, spiritual practice—not tied to a single religion, but a way of aligning ourselves with the creative Source of life. His “universal prayer” is less about asking for things and more about entering into communion with the Divine presence that flows through all of us.
1. Prayer as Connection, Not Petition
Dyer taught that many people approach prayer by asking or begging God to fix things. He shifted this perspective: true prayer is not about pleading, but about aligning with Source.
Instead of “asking for” something, he encouraged entering into a state of gratitude, love, and awareness that you already are connected to everything you seek.
He often said: “Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you let God talk to you.”
2. Affirmative Prayer
Dyer’s universal prayer is rooted in affirmation. He believed we should declare what we intend as though it already exists, because in the spiritual realm, it does.
Example: Instead of saying, “Please give me peace,” you affirm, “I am at peace, because I am one with Source.”
This shifts prayer from a mindset of lack to one of abundance and alignment.
3. Gratitude as Prayer
He taught that gratitude itself is one of the highest forms of prayer.
Beginning with “Thank you” instantly connects you to higher energy.
Gratitude reprograms the subconscious mind and vibrationally attracts more of what you are thankful for.
4. A Universal Prayer for All Beings
Dyer often emphasized praying not only for yourself, but for others—friends, family, even strangers, and the whole world.
Sending out thoughts of peace, healing, and love uplifts your own consciousness while contributing to the collective.
He would sometimes use phrases like: “May everyone everywhere feel love. May everyone everywhere feel peace.”
5. Living Prayerfully
For Dyer, prayer was not a moment of ritual but a way of living—seeing God in all things, staying aligned with intention, and practicing kindness, forgiveness, and service. He taught that every thought and action can be a form of prayer when it is done with love.
Wayne Dyer is amazing, he was a motivational speaker before there was Tony Robbins, and has sold over 100 million books.
