Follow the Rules of Prayer

 

The first rule in prayer is to approach God only with legitimate desires. The

second is to pray for their fulfilment, not as a beggar, but as a son: " I am Thy

child. Thou art My Father. Thou and I are one. " When you pray deeply and

continuously you will feel a great joy welling up in your heart. Don't be

satisfied until that joy manifests; for when you feel that all-satisfying joy in

your heart, you will know that God has turned in your prayer broadcast. Then

pray to your Father: " Lord, this is my need. I am willing to work for it; please

guide me and help me to have the right thoughts and to do the right things to

bring about success. I will use my reason, and work with determination, but

guide Thou my reason, will, and activity to the right thing that I should do. "

This is how I have always prayed. Now, as soon as I ask God about some

undertaking, I know whether I should do it or not, and I know what steps I

should and should not take.

 

Be practical and earnest about prayer. Concentrate deeply on what you are

praying. Before you seek a job, or sign a contract, or do anything important,

think of that Power. Think of it continuously. Take time out of sleep. Your mind

is habituated to resting at night from the day's duties, and keeps urging,

" Sleep " . You must answer with all your divine power of will: " Away with sleep!

My engagement with God is more imortant. " Then you will receive God's response.
