MIRACLE
PRAYER
by Dr. Susan Shumsky
Chapter
1: Everyday Miracles
"Anyone who doesn't believe in
miracles isn't a realist."
-Billy Wilder
Why does a seemingly capricious
deity answer prayers for some people and not for others? Why do
some prayers remain unfulfilled? Is our technique of prayer
ineffectual? Are we praying amiss?
Some people who attempt to pray
give up in defeat, concluding that prayer does not work for them.
They assume that only the fortunate few, perhaps those with extreme
purity in their hearts, or excessive faith in their souls, can pray
successfully. But God seems to lend a deaf ear to ordinary
folks.
As a child I tried to pray and
hoped God would respond. But it seemed the more I prayed, the more
God refused to listen. I came to the conclusion that either God
does not exist, or else I am not worthy for God to acknowledge me.
This childhood experience was so disheartening that I totally lost
touch with how accessible God can be.
It was not until 1986, when I
learned a powerful method called "Scientific Prayer," that I
realized that anyone who can learn a few simple principles is
capable of praying successfully and getting startling
results.
Even though many people are not
getting winning results from prayer, there are millions who have
used a proven prayer technique that is effective, practical, and
highly successful. By reading this book, you will learn and
practice this extraordinary method.
This book offers a unique process
of Scientific Prayer that will help you get the positive outcome
you are seeking. This system is based on the teachings of "New
Thought," which is, in turn, the foundation of the human potential
movement.
New Thought teachings were
developed by such illumined souls as Ernest Holmes (1887-1960),
founder of Church of Religious Science and author of The Science of
Mind, and Charles (1854-1948) and Myrtle (1845-1931) Fillmore,
co-founders of the Unity Church.
New Thought, a nonsectarian philosophy, proposes that all causes
are internal forces, and all difficulties can be overcome by
metaphysical means, such as prayer and affirmation. "Spiritual Mind
Treatment," in which mind is considered primary and causative, is
the principal method of healing used in New Thought.
Although prayer and affirmation
have become increasingly popular, many people do not know how to
pray effectively. They read books or attend churches that inspire
them to pray, yet they do not know how to put the words together
that comprise a powerful, masterful prayer. While many people have
studied principles of prayer and affirmation, they have not
received basic training in the art of prayer.
This unique book offers a new,
systematic approach to prayer. It helps anyone create miracles in
daily life through a simple nine-step Scientific Prayer method.
This system offers a source of inner strength and self-confidence
unavailable in other teachings.
Although this book addresses the
need to develop prayer power, it does not assume prior experience
in the field. Anyone can easily comprehend and apply these simple
methods that can be used in everyday life. These field-proven
techniques have been tested and verified by millions of people from
all backgrounds and religions, who have experienced significant
benefits.
PRACTICAL
SOLUTIONS
Throughout forty years of
teaching meditation and prayer techniques, I have often heard the
following complaints, to which this book provides practical
solutions:
1. "I have tried prayer and
affirmation, but it just doesn't work for me."
In this book you will learn unique,
simple prayer and affirmation techniques that anyone can do and get
positive results.
2. "My negative
thought-patterns, habits, and conditioning prevent me from
fulfilling my desires."
In Chapter __ you will find specific healing
affirmations and prayers that help you overcome negative
patterns.
3. "I feel frustrated that I
cannot fulfill my desires."
By reading this book, you will discover what your
soul is longing to fulfill, and you will realize how to achieve
those true desires of your heart.
4. "I want to fulfill my true
purpose, but I don't know what it is."
Using a simple technique in Chapter
__, you will get in touch with your true life plan and purpose and
how to express it.
5. "I am offended by rules and
regulations, cults, and coercive
organizations."
The
universal techniques in this book impose no restrictions and are
compatible with other religious philosophies, lifestyles, and
personal beliefs.
6. "I don't want to work at
difficult, strict, hard-to-follow
disciplines."
This
book is easy to understand-logical, and practical, with
simple-to-learn methods requiring no previous experience,
background, training, or knowledge.
BENEFITS YOU CAN
EXPECT
Here are a few of the many
benefits you can receive through practicing the methods in this
book. Included are testimonials from people who have used these
techniques to create miracles in their lives:
1. Taking control of your
destiny.
Janet
Ponce, a cosmetologist from Las Cruces, New Mexico reports: "I felt
like a ship without a rudder. My life had no particular direction.
Since I joined a prayer circle and learned Scientific Prayer, my
life has been on track. Now I feel I am the captain of my ship and
can steer my own course."
2. Setting clear goals and
fulfilling them.
An
engineer from San Diego, Anthony Hague, says: "Thank you for
teaching me how to establish clear-cut objectives that I can work
to achieve. Through praying to manifest my goals, I was able to
start my own consulting business, which has become a very
successful company with several employees."
3. Getting in touch with your
true heartfelt desires and divine
purpose.
An artist
from Dallas, Sharon Bordic, reveals: "For many years I was seeking
to know my life purpose. By discovering my divine plan in Susan
Shumsky's workshop at Unity Church, I had a revelation that changed
my career path. I went back to art school and have been painting
again. This new direction is like a ray of sunshine for my
life."
4. Enjoying better
relationships with family, friends, and
coworkers.
Jacob
Unger, from Point Roberts, Washington says, "I have been using the
methods of spiritual healing and am surprised at the result. My
friends seem to relate to me on a more clear level, honoring my
integrity and quality of being. They are less possessive and more
tolerant and unconditionally loving towards me. My relationships
are changing for the better. They're more clear, mature, and the
muddy emotional imbalances are less."
5. Enjoying a sense of inner
happiness in everyday life.
Andrea Lasko, an administrative assistant from
Denver, reports: "Since I started using the prayers from Dr.
Shumsky's workshop at the Energy Medicine conference in Boulder, I
have undergone a major shift in how I see myself and my
relationships. I am amazed by how much joy I have discovered in the
little miracles of life. Thank you for this beautiful
teaching."
6. Being more self-reliant and
less dependent on others.
James Tan, an architect from San Diego says, "I feel
less controlled by other people. I feel that if someone is trying
to control me, I now have a way that I can be detached from
that."
7. Enjoying greater self-love,
self-acceptance, and inner power.
Lorene Spencer, a cancer patient from Lansing,
Michigan writes, "I am learning how to finally love myself, heal
myself, and overcome this loneliness. I've been saying the healing
prayers and affirmations daily. I really feel like I have power
within me-feeling something great inside."
8. Learning to pray for
yourself and for others and getting positive
results.
A mother
from Ontario, Canada, Juliet DiFranco, says: "Since taking your
workshop at Christ Church Unity, I have been using the prayers and
find greater harmony at home and at work. Especially when I pray
for my kids, I notice immediate benefits. My prayers have healed
everything from physical ailments to problems at school. Thank you
for changing my life."
9. Dwelling in the joyous,
comforting, loving presence of God.
Grace Suzuki, a teacher from San Francisco says,
"One thing I've experienced is a feeling of invincibility. When we
know the healing prayers, we know we are protected by the light of
our being; then there's no reason to fear, no matter where we go,
no matter who we happen to be with. This is a wonderful sense of
security."
10. Experiencing God's grace
at work in your everyday life.
Doina Barkhaus, teacher from Phoenix, Arizona
writes: "For the leap in spirituality I gained in one day at Dr.
Shumsky's 'Expect Miracles' workshop, I would have had to attend
church for 100 years. Upon awakening the next morning, I was so
much lighter! I had let go of all my religious conditioning-my
preconceived notions of what God is. I was lifted to a new level. I
realized, I AM a divine being! I AM a part of God, and it's okay to
say that. I realized how limiting my life has been, and I'm ready
to cut through! I know what to pray for, what the block is, and
what to do. I am ready to let it go. A lot of obstacles were
removed."
11. Creating miracles in your
everyday life.
From
Portland, Oregon, Jason Reynolds, a consumer advocate writes, " I
am a long-time meditator. I call myself a God junkie, and my prayer
life is frequently ecstatic. In the last two years, I have had
great luck praying for people with cancer. In eight of nine cases
so far the tumors have disappeared in God's perfect light. I am
astonished each and every time. Also blown away by God's
generosity. One thing about the spiritual journey: it is never
dull! Infinitely expansive love for our Infinite
Creator."

WHY I WROTE THIS
BOOK
I have practiced spiritual
disciplines since 1967, when I learned to meditate. My first
spiritual mentor was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, enlightened master from
India, guru of the Beatles and Deepak Chopra, and founder of
Transcendental Meditation. In 1970, on the banks of the Ganges
River in India, Maharishi personally trained me to be a meditation
teacher. I lived in his ashrams (learning institutions) in secluded
areas, including the Himalayas of India and the Swiss Alps, for
twenty-two years, and I served on his personal staff for seven of
those years.
Under Maharishi's tutelage, I used to meditate up to twenty hours
a day. I would go into my room and not emerge for eight weeks at a
time. Meals were left outside my door. I sometimes observed silence
and did not utter a word for four months at a time. I fasted for up
to two months at a time. I practiced total celibacy. I was in
introvert, and that is definitely an understatement.
After spending twenty-two years
with my eyes closed, I had a profound realization. Even though I
was fortunate to enjoy amazing spiritual experiences in daily
meditation, I was not expressing spirituality in my outer
personality. Exceedingly arrogant, I believed my guru was the only
guru, his teaching was the only way to realize God, and his
disciples were superior human beings on a higher mission. No one
could tell me anything-I knew it all. Little did I know how little
I knew.
Happily, I was introduced to a
wonderful New Thought teaching in San Diego-Teaching of Intuitional
Metaphysics, founded by Dr. Peter Meyer, co-author of Being a
Christ! Dr. Meyer's techniques helped me attain direct
communication with the "still small voice" of God within and to use
the power of the spoken word in prayer in order to heal others and
myself.
I began teaching Divine Revelation® seminars, and students had
such miraculous experiences that I was inspired to offer these
seminars in print. Divine Revelation was the first book published.
This, my fifth book, Miracle Prayer, offers a practical program to
help you fulfill your purpose and create miracles in everyday
life.
I am pleased and grateful to now
give this precious teaching to you. For Scientific Prayer has
definitely transformed my life, and it can transform yours. You
have the God-given power to dream, and your dreams are real and
worthy. Let God's love and miracle-power help you fulfill your
dreams. If you can dream miracles, and you can believe in miracles,
then you can achieve miracles. Believe in yourself now and begin to
realize your destiny. Trust in God's grace to be your guide on this
journey to fulfillment. You are the driver. Let God be your
co-pilot.
Let us now get started on this
miraculous voyage.
