Keys to Successful Prayer
Sometimes people ask, "What is the best way to pray for others?" Sri Daya Mata has said:
"To pray for others is right and good ... asking, above all, that they may be receptive to God, and thus receive physical, mental, or spiritual help direct from the Divine Physician. This is the basis of all prayer. God’s blessing is ever present; receptivity is often lacking. Prayer heightens receptivity ...."When you are affirming healing for others or yourself, visualize the tremendous force of God’s healing power as a white light surrounding you or the person for whom you are praying. Feel that it is melting away all illness and imperfection. Every uplifting thought we think, every prayer we utter, every good action we perform, is impregnated with God’s power. We can manifest this power in greater and greater ways as our faith becomes stronger and our love for God becomes deeper."
In the Self-Realization Fellowship teachings, Paramahansa Yogananda has given step-by-step instructions for realizing God’s indwelling presence through scientific methods of concentration and meditation. And it was his great desire to see those who were practicing such methods serve others from their own expanding awareness of the Divine Presence in all — from actual realization of the world as one family.
The effectiveness of the Worldwide Prayer Circle depends not only on the wholehearted participation of as many sympathetic souls as possible, but also on the depth of communion attained by the individual members of the Prayer Circle. For prayer to bring God’s response, it is essential to know how to pray. The key points to be remembered for effective prayer are briefly described in the following pages:
