THE FIVE MODES OF PRAYER
Logic-based prayers: seeking intervention
1. COLLOQUIAL if then I will (Expiation, Consecration)
2. PETITION asking for something (Intercession, Supplication)
a. We Focus upon present conditions where we believe that peace does not exist.
b. We may feel helpless, powerless or angry at the events and conditions that we are witness to.
c. We employ our prayer of asking by inviting divine intervention from a higher power to bring peace to bear upon individuals, conditions and places where we believe that peace is absent.
d. Through our asking, we may unknowingly affirm the very conditions that we least desire. When we say "Please let there be peace," for example, we are declaring that peace is not present in a particular situation. In doing so, we may actually fuel the condition that we have chosen to change.
e. We continue to ask for intervention until we see the change actually come to pass in our world.
3. RITUALISTIC (Adoration, Penitence, Imprecation)
4. MEDITATIVE (Love, Thanksgiving, Spirit) Transitory
Feeling-based prayer: knowing prayer is already answered
5. FEELING direct access to alter reality (Miracles)
a. We witness all events, those of peace and those that we see as the absence of peace, as possibilities without judgement of right, wrong, bad or good.
b. We release our judgement of the situation by Blessing those conditions that have caused us pain. The Blessing does not condone or consent to the event or condition. Rather, it acknowledges that the event is part of the single source of all that is.
c. By feeling the feelings of our prayer already answered, we demonstrate the ancient quantum principle stating that the conditions of peace within our bodies are mirrored in the world beyond our bodies.
d. We acknowledge the power of our prayer and know (feel) that the focus of our prayer has already come to pass.
e. Our prayer now consists of:
1. acknowledging the peace already is present in our world by living from the knowledge that such changes have occurred.
2. empowering our prayer by giving thanks for the opportunity to choose peace over suffering.

As you imagine and visualize and verbalize your new story, in time you will believe the new story, and when that happens, the evidence will flow swiftly into your experience. A belief is only a thought you continue to think; and when your beliefs match your desires, then your desires must become your reality. There is no physical body, no matter what the conditions, that cannot achieve an improved condition. Nothing else in your experience responds as quickly as your own physical body to your patterns of thought. --- Abraham Excerpted from the book "Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth & Happiness"
