Prayer The Art Of Believing
To pray for a desired state for yourself, focus your attention on a friend. Imagine hearing their voice tell you that they possess or are experiencing a state comparable to what you desire for yourself. As you mentally hear and see this, feel a genuine thrill and sincerely wish them well. This act of 'mercy' will awaken the corresponding vibration in your friend, and a full share of that good will also be realized by you.
Another very effective way to pray for oneself is to use the formula of Job who found that his own captivity was removed as he prayed for his friends. Fix your attention on a friend and have the imaginary voice of your friend tell you that he is, or has that which is comparable to that which you desire to be or have. As you mentally hear and see him, feel the thrill of his good fortune and sincerely wish him well. This awakens in him the corresponding vibration of the state affirmed, which vibration must then objectify itself as a physical fact. You will discover the truth of the statement, "Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy." "The quality of mercy is twice blessed—it blesses him who taketh and him who giveth." The good you subjectively accept as true of others will not only be expressed by them, but a full share will be realized by you.
This technique is based on the law that what you give (even mentally) to others, you also receive. By genuinely wishing and affirming good for a friend, you activate that same good within your own consciousness, leading to its manifestation in your life.
