Here is one way of solving a problem by scientific prayer.
Get by yourself, and be quiet for a few moments. Do not strain to think rightly or to find the right thought, but just be quiet. Remind yourself that the Bible says “Be still, and know that I am God.”
Then begin to think about God. Remind yourself of some of the things that you know about Him—that he is present everywhere, that He knows you and loves you and cares for you. Read a few verses of the Bible, or a paragraph from any spiritual book that helps you.
During this state it is important not to think about your problem, but to give your attention to God. In other words, do not try to solve your problem directly (Which would be using will power) but rather become interested in thinking of the nature of God.
Next claim the thing that you need. Claim it quietly and confidently, as you would ask for something to which you are entitled. Then give thanks for the accomplished fact as you would if somebody handed you a gift. Jesus said when you pray, believe that you receive and you shall receive.
Do not discuss your treatment with anyone.
In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength…(Isaiah 30:15).
How many times a day do we sit quietly thinking about anything? One way to accomplish this in a hectic world is by committing to daily prayer. If we start each day communing with Him in prayer, we will have better days and nights, and will also witness God demonstrating in our lives. The Seven R’s is a simple formula for effective prayer and goes like this: relax body and mind (three deep breaths), recognize God’s presence, release all earthly concerns, rejoice in all blessings , review (and take responsibility for) our own behavior, repent of and reject all wrong thoughts, words and deeds and reaffirm our faith and God’s granting of our prayers. Take five and try it right now.
Ahh, doesn’t that feel better?
