How to Use the Power of Prayer

How to Use the Power of Prayer by Sherman, Harold. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780871590619.

The purpose of this book is to convince you that there is always an answer to prayer–when you have learned how to pray. To get the right answer to prayer, you must know how to prepare your mind and heart so that you can enter consciously into the God-presence which exists within. Once this is accomplished–once you have felt this indescribable union with God, the Great Intelligence–if only for a fleeting, transcendent second–you will never be the same again. You will know that God exists for you–the God of your faith, the God for whom you have searched, the one and only Power in this great and wonderful universe! Love—the Essential Key to Prayers You are a product of love. You were conceived in love by your earthly father and mother. You were loved before you were born into this world. Loving preparations were made to care for you before your arrival. The first words ever spoken to you were, no doubt, words of endearment. You felt the warmth of your mother’s breast, the deep peace and comfort and protection of her arms. And, as you grew in childish comprehension, you felt an increasing sense of security in the knowledge that your parents cared for you, that you could go to them when in trouble and that somehow they would make everything all right. Not too many years after this, you began to realize that the love and understanding of your father and mother, however much it may have meant to you, was not enough. You discovered that even their love for each other was not quite sufficient for them. You found that they were reaching out as you had reached out when a babe–helpless and alone, save for them–seeking to find a higher love upon which they, too, could lean–the love of God. Perhaps, if they came from religious backgrounds, they satisfied their inner longing by church affiliation. If so, your first concepts of God were formed through this association.
