Do You Want Your Prayers Answered?

That lead caption probably sounds about as crazy as Jesus asking a sick person if they'd like to get well. Duh! I know of many people, myself included who have prayed prayers that we really didn't want to: prayers that we cringed as we said them. They were immediately followed by a prayer for mercy, love, grace, etc. I'm still working on enhancing my success in prayer, but here are some helpful hints. 

1-Pray in gratitude, thanking God in advance!
2-Don't beg God day after day. It only demonstrates lack of faith.
3-Pray to your inner spirit, Father-Consciousness as God is not a MAN!
4-Realize and believe that "before you call, God will answer".
5-Sense and feel the Oneness of Spirit.
6-Fellowship throughout the day and stop shopping (wanting).
7-God is not a genie in a bottle- hands off!
8-Prayer is as much "listening" as it is "speaking-communing".
9-Know that while you are "yet speaking, He's hearing".
10-Make known your hearts desire(s) then let it (them) go!
11-Exercise day-time faith in those night-time fears.
12-Give throughout the day that you may receive tomorrow.
13-Ignore third dimensional appearances which are but illusions.
14-Live in this moment, not the past, nor the future.
15-Let the negative bury their dead while you live the I AM.
16-Having done all, simply BE!

This isn't a sixteen step plan to the "Real You", nor sixteen steps to "Success". Prayer is simply BEING with "the BEING" that lives within and realizing your oneness with the I AM that we ALL ARE. Remember, I AM is first person, present tense. The "I" is the point where the invisible becomes visible: spirit materialized. The more time you spend with the "I" that I AM, the more you'll see that communion (prayers) manifesting right before your very eyes (natrual-material eyes).  :-)
