MIRACLE PRAYER
by Dr.
Susan Shumsky
Chapter
1: Everyday Miracles
"Anyone who doesn't
believe in miracles isn't a realist."
-Billy Wilder
Why does a seemingly capricious
deity answer prayers for some people and not for others? Why
do some prayers remain unfulfilled? Is our technique of prayer
ineffectual? Are we praying amiss?
Some people who attempt to
pray give up in defeat, concluding that prayer does not work
for them. They assume that only the fortunate few, perhaps those
with extreme purity in their hearts, or excessive faith in their
souls, can pray successfully. But God seems to lend a deaf ear
to ordinary folks.
As a child I tried to pray
and hoped God would respond. But it seemed the more I prayed,
the more God refused to listen. I came to the conclusion that
either God does not exist, or else I am not worthy for God to
acknowledge me. This childhood experience was so disheartening
that I totally lost touch with how accessible God can be.
It was not until 1986, when
I learned a powerful method called "Scientific Prayer,"
that I realized that anyone who can learn a few simple principles
is capable of praying successfully and getting startling results.
Even though many people are
not getting winning results from prayer, there are millions who
have used a proven prayer technique that is effective, practical,
and highly successful. By reading this book, you will learn and
practice this extraordinary method.
This book offers a unique process
of Scientific Prayer that will help you get the positive outcome
you are seeking. This system is based on the teachings of "New
Thought," which is, in turn, the foundation of the human
potential movement.
New Thought teachings were
developed by such illumined souls as Ernest Holmes (1887-1960),
founder of Church of Religious Science and author of The Science
of Mind, and Charles (1854-1948) and Myrtle (1845-1931) Fillmore,
co-founders of the Unity Church.
New Thought, a nonsectarian philosophy, proposes that all causes
are internal forces, and all difficulties can be overcome by
metaphysical means, such as prayer and affirmation. "Spiritual
Mind Treatment," in which mind is considered primary and
causative, is the principal method of healing used in New Thought.
Although prayer and affirmation
have become increasingly popular, many people do not know how
to pray effectively. They read books or attend churches that
inspire them to pray, yet they do not know how to put the words
together that comprise a powerful, masterful prayer. While many
people have studied principles of prayer and affirmation, they
have not received basic training in the art of prayer.
This unique book offers a new,
systematic approach to prayer. It helps anyone create miracles
in daily life through a simple nine-step Scientific Prayer method.
This system offers a source of inner strength and self-confidence
unavailable in other teachings.
Although this book addresses
the need to develop prayer power, it does not assume prior experience
in the field. Anyone can easily comprehend and apply these simple
methods that can be used in everyday life. These field-proven
techniques have been tested and verified by millions of people
from all backgrounds and religions, who have experienced significant
benefits.
PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS
Throughout forty years of teaching
meditation and prayer techniques, I have often heard the following
complaints, to which this book provides practical solutions:
1. "I have tried prayer
and affirmation, but it just doesn't work for me."
In this book you will
learn unique, simple prayer and affirmation techniques that anyone
can do and get positive results.
2. "My negative thought-patterns,
habits, and conditioning prevent me from fulfilling my desires."
In Chapter __ you will
find specific healing affirmations and prayers that help you
overcome negative patterns.
3. "I feel frustrated
that I cannot fulfill my desires."
By reading this book,
you will discover what your soul is longing to fulfill, and you
will realize how to achieve those true desires of your heart.
4. "I want to fulfill
my true purpose, but I don't know what it is."
Using a simple technique
in Chapter __, you will get in touch with your true life plan
and purpose and how to express it.
5. "I am offended by
rules and regulations, cults, and coercive organizations."
The universal techniques
in this book impose no restrictions and are compatible with other
religious philosophies, lifestyles, and personal beliefs.
6. "I don't want to
work at difficult, strict, hard-to-follow disciplines."
This book is easy to
understand-logical, and practical, with simple-to-learn methods
requiring no previous experience, background, training, or knowledge.
BENEFITS YOU CAN EXPECT
Here are a few of the many
benefits you can receive through practicing the methods in this
book. Included are testimonials from people who have used these
techniques to create miracles in their lives:
1. Taking control of your
destiny.
Janet Ponce, a cosmetologist
from Las Cruces, New Mexico reports: "I felt like a ship
without a rudder. My life had no particular direction. Since
I joined a prayer circle and learned Scientific Prayer, my life
has been on track. Now I feel I am the captain of my ship and
can steer my own course."
2. Setting clear goals and
fulfilling them.
An engineer from San
Diego, Anthony Hague, says: "Thank you for teaching me how
to establish clear-cut objectives that I can work to achieve.
Through praying to manifest my goals, I was able to start my
own consulting business, which has become a very successful company
with several employees."
3. Getting in touch with
your true heartfelt desires and divine purpose.
An artist from Dallas,
Sharon Bordic, reveals: "For many years I was seeking to
know my life purpose. By discovering my divine plan in Susan
Shumsky's workshop at Unity Church, I had a revelation that changed
my career path. I went back to art school and have been painting
again. This new direction is like a ray of sunshine for my life."
4. Enjoying better relationships
with family, friends, and coworkers.
Jacob Unger, from Point
Roberts, Washington says, "I have been using the methods
of spiritual healing and am surprised at the result. My friends
seem to relate to me on a more clear level, honoring my integrity
and quality of being. They are less possessive and more tolerant
and unconditionally loving towards me. My relationships are changing
for the better. They're more clear, mature, and the muddy emotional
imbalances are less."
5. Enjoying a sense of inner
happiness in everyday life.
Andrea Lasko, an administrative
assistant from Denver, reports: "Since I started using the
prayers from Dr. Shumsky's workshop at the Energy Medicine conference
in Boulder, I have undergone a major shift in how I see myself
and my relationships. I am amazed by how much joy I have discovered
in the little miracles of life. Thank you for this beautiful
teaching."
6. Being more self-reliant
and less dependent on others.
James Tan, an architect
from San Diego says, "I feel less controlled by other people.
I feel that if someone is trying to control me, I now have a
way that I can be detached from that."
7. Enjoying greater self-love,
self-acceptance, and inner power.
Lorene Spencer, a cancer
patient from Lansing, Michigan writes, "I am learning how
to finally love myself, heal myself, and overcome this loneliness.
I've been saying the healing prayers and affirmations daily.
I really feel like I have power within me-feeling something great
inside."
8. Learning to pray for
yourself and for others and getting positive results.
A mother from Ontario,
Canada, Juliet DiFranco, says: "Since taking your workshop
at Christ Church Unity, I have been using the prayers and find
greater harmony at home and at work. Especially when I pray for
my kids, I notice immediate benefits. My prayers have healed
everything from physical ailments to problems at school. Thank
you for changing my life."
9. Dwelling in the joyous,
comforting, loving presence of God.
Grace Suzuki, a teacher
from San Francisco says, "One thing I've experienced is
a feeling of invincibility. When we know the healing prayers,
we know we are protected by the light of our being; then there's
no reason to fear, no matter where we go, no matter who we happen
to be with. This is a wonderful sense of security."
10. Experiencing God's grace
at work in your everyday life.
Doina Barkhaus, teacher
from Phoenix, Arizona writes: "For the leap in spirituality
I gained in one day at Dr. Shumsky's 'Expect Miracles' workshop,
I would have had to attend church for 100 years. Upon awakening
the next morning, I was so much lighter! I had let go of all
my religious conditioning-my preconceived notions of what God
is. I was lifted to a new level. I realized, I AM a divine being!
I AM a part of God, and it's okay to say that. I realized how
limiting my life has been, and I'm ready to cut through! I know
what to pray for, what the block is, and what to do. I am ready
to let it go. A lot of obstacles were removed."
11. Creating miracles in
your everyday life.
From Portland, Oregon,
Jason Reynolds, a consumer advocate writes, " I am a long-time
meditator. I call myself a God junkie, and my prayer life is
frequently ecstatic. In the last two years, I have had great
luck praying for people with cancer. In eight of nine cases so
far the tumors have disappeared in God's perfect light. I am
astonished each and every time. Also blown away by God's generosity.
One thing about the spiritual journey: it is never dull! Infinitely
expansive love for our Infinite Creator."

WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK
I have practiced spiritual
disciplines since 1967, when I learned to meditate. My first
spiritual mentor was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, enlightened master
from India, guru of the Beatles and Deepak Chopra, and founder
of Transcendental Meditation. In 1970, on the banks of the Ganges
River in India, Maharishi personally trained me to be a meditation
teacher. I lived in his ashrams (learning institutions) in secluded
areas, including the Himalayas of India and the Swiss Alps, for
twenty-two years, and I served on his personal staff for seven
of those years.
Under Maharishi's tutelage, I used to meditate up to twenty hours
a day. I would go into my room and not emerge for eight weeks
at a time. Meals were left outside my door. I sometimes observed
silence and did not utter a word for four months at a time. I
fasted for up to two months at a time. I practiced total celibacy.
I was in introvert, and that is definitely an understatement.
After spending twenty-two years
with my eyes closed, I had a profound realization. Even though
I was fortunate to enjoy amazing spiritual experiences in daily
meditation, I was not expressing spirituality in my outer personality.
Exceedingly arrogant, I believed my guru was the only guru, his
teaching was the only way to realize God, and his disciples were
superior human beings on a higher mission. No one could tell
me anything-I knew it all. Little did I know how little I knew.
Happily, I was introduced to
a wonderful New Thought teaching in San Diego-Teaching of Intuitional
Metaphysics, founded by Dr. Peter Meyer, co-author of Being a
Christ! Dr. Meyer's techniques helped me attain direct communication
with the "still small voice" of God within and to use
the power of the spoken word in prayer in order to heal others
and myself.
I began teaching Divine Revelation® seminars, and students
had such miraculous experiences that I was inspired to offer
these seminars in print. Divine Revelation was the first book
published. This, my fifth book, Miracle Prayer, offers a practical
program to help you fulfill your purpose and create miracles
in everyday life.
I am pleased and grateful to
now give this precious teaching to you. For Scientific Prayer
has definitely transformed my life, and it can transform yours.
You have the God-given power to dream, and your dreams are real
and worthy. Let God's love and miracle-power help you fulfill
your dreams. If you can dream miracles, and you can believe in
miracles, then you can achieve miracles. Believe in yourself
now and begin to realize your destiny. Trust in God's grace to
be your guide on this journey to fulfillment. You are the driver.
Let God be your co-pilot.
Let us now get started on this
miraculous voyage.
