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).
Many times “being still” is harder than “doing something” about that which is troubling us. However, when we begin our prayer by being quiet and calm, we are “doing something” very important. We are giving God the space to enter our consciousness. It is then that we can rise above the self and its limitations and let God fill us with his divine will, Holy Spirit and universal consciousness.
It is then that we can claim God’s gifts and God’s promise with quiet confidence. Then, God’s will and power are manifested through us and His strength demonstrates itself through us also. It is then that we can thank God for granting that which we need, even without asking. For God knows our needs, even when we don’t.
Being still,
Z gardener
