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).
Acknowledging and accepting the truth about God is the most important step we can take toward realizing and demonstrating God’s power here below.
An answered prayer is only the effect flowing from the power to which the prayer was directed. Until we become still and know that that God is, we will not effectively demonstrate the power emanating from God.
Once we know “that God is present everywhere, that God knows us and loves us and cares for us”, then we will experience God’s true power and will demonstrate God’s love and miracles here below in our lives and the lives we touch. Then we will awaken each day in the garden God built for us.
The peace of the Lord be with you,

All The World Under God’s Power
There have been many religions and many political movements throughout history. When they come into conflict wars result, and struggles of power to see who will dominate one piece of land or one group or another of people.
In evolution these power struggles seesawed
with the inventions of various war and killing technologies: from the club to the spear and bow and arrow to the guns and the rockets and bombs and finally to the nuclear weapons that can destroy humanity.
That is the point at which the idea of power turned in upon itself, and the mask of violence revealed itself as weakness in a competitive world–either all of us or none of us survive.
People see this state of affairs written across the face of the world, yet leaders and media spokespeople deny its reality, from by and large ignoring this critical threat to humanity’s existence and conducting and reporting on wars in a business-as-usual fashion. Yet none would argue that the power of killingry has reached its apex, with the world’s peace among the world’s superpowers being held in balance by the principle of M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction).
How did this happen? A simple formula, discovered by Albert Einstein, E=MC squared, revealing that the energy bound up in mass is equal to the speed of light squared times that mass. This led to the production of the nuclear
bombs and their proliferation that can destroy all the world’s major cities fifty times over and destroy our atmosphere and the species of humanity.
The true significance of this occurence is lost on a world focused on the material, when ninety-nine percent of reality is spiritual. Ninety-nine percent of reality is all the things we can’t see, feel or touch. E=MC squared is a pure principle, an invisible reality, reflecting one of the
Generalized Principles of the Universe, what Bucky Fuller called the proof of an Omniscient, A Priori Intelligence governing all of creation.
All the religions must one day recognize this power shift and realization of God’s Omnipotent Dominion. All of the competitive political
entities and all of the individuals must one day also come to this awesome realization. The evolutionary truths of our world are hidden before us in plain sight. God’s Universal Love rules ALL, seen and unseen.

THE WEAPONS OF FAITH
1 John 5:4 This is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.
One of Satan’s sly devices is to divert our minds from the help God offers us in our struggles against evil, telling us we have to fight the battle alone. But God knows we need His help.
The Bible warns, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet. 5:8). What would you do if you met a lion? You’d probably run, and you’d probably grab any weapon you could to fend him off if he attacked.
And that is true in our struggles against evil. When evil and temptation stalk us, our first response should be to flee. And when they still attack, we should use every weapon we have to drive them away. The good news is this: God has provided the weapons! His Word, His angels, His Spirit, the encouragement and prayers of our brothers and sisters in Christ–these and more are “weapons” God provides.
We aren’t in this battle alone–so why act like it?
When life seems like a struggle, we would do well to remember that God has armed us with all we need to overcome that which plagues us. Whether our problem is caused by Satan or by ourselves, we will conquer it if we turn to the word and spirit of God. As we use the word and spirit, God will send angels, friends and loved ones to our aid. All that we need to resolve our problems will manifest themselves when we look to God for our solution. Our faith is the armory of God which holds all our defenses.
Armed by God,
