Sometimes we have to look at a thing long enough to realize that it no longer has power over us.
What we are praying for is already happening. Whatever we desire and hope for is already within us. To be accepting of it is to allow it to move through us.
It is the nature of the Creative Power to take form, and it is the nature of man to use it. It is the use of our minds in a calm, expectant manner, with a deep inner conviction of its reality, without any fear or any sense that the human mind must make it effective. The work is effective because the Law is always operating.
Our approach to affirmative prayer is not so much a technique as a way of being. It should bring about actual health, happiness, and abundance, which is our normal and divine inheritance.
The trick is to turn entirely away from the condition, for as long as we look upon it, we cannot overcome it. By thinking upon a condition we tend to animate it with the life of our thought, and thereby it is perpetuated and magnified. We must bring a new awareness to it. This has come into our lives for a reason. We will plant a crop of happiness, health, and abundance. Spiritual mind treatment is the science of inducing within Mind concepts, acceptances, and realizations of peace, poise, power, plenty, health, happiness, and success.
