From David in the UK: I have come to focus on the importance of affirmative prayer through the written words of Emmet Fox. This has made a considerable difference in my life. Learning to stop asking God for my immediate needs, and affirming divine right action, has made all the difference in the world. I am thankful for the awareness of scientific prayer. Thank you for sharing his works.

PRAYER ALWAYS THE ANSWER - Emmet Fox
PRAYER is always the solution. No matter what kind of difficulty may be facing you, no matter how complicated your problem may seem-prayer can solve it and re-arrange everything beautifully. Of course you. will also take whatever practical steps seem to be indicated, and if you do not know what steps to take, prayer will show you.
Prayer will bring any good thing into' your life, and it will find its own ways and means to do so. Prayer is constantly bringing about the seemingly impossible, and there is no conceivable problem that has not at some time been solved by prayer.
When we remember that God really is omnipotent untrammeled by what we call time or space or matter or the vagaries of human nature, it is easy to see that there can be no limit to the power of prayer.
Even if you feel very strongly about some condition you must not be tempted to say "It is useless to pray about this because I am determined to take such and such an action tomorrow, in any case." Pray about it, nevertheless, and when tomorrow comes it will still be open to you to do whatever you wish. But, you may think better of it after you have prayed.
You can pray about a problem and solve it at any stage, but of course the earlier you tackle it the easier will your work be.
 

RAISE THE SHADES
WE do not have to create good. It is here now. We do not have to persuade God to be Love, or Life, or Truth, or Intelligence, for He is all these things already, and always has been. We do not have to ask Him to remember us, for He is always with us. We could not ask for any good that is not here already.
Neither do we have to fight evil. Fundamentally, evil is a false belief about good, and healing consists in unthinking the error by knowing the Truth. When you switch on the light in a room you do not have to chase the shadows out through the door or window. The light floods the room, and all is well, for darkness is not an entity; it is only the absence of light.
If we draw down the shades in every room in a house, that house will be in darkness, and is likely to become clamp and unhealthy as well, no matter how brightly the sun may be shining outside. It we wanted to remedy this state of affairs, we would not try to make the sun shine more brightly (we could not), nor would we try to find a way to create sunshine inside. All we would have to do, indeed all we could do, would be to raise the
shades. To raise the shades and open the windows would be the certain healing of that condition. The sun would pour in, and all the other benefits would follow.
God is with us at all times, but we close the windows of our soul and draw down heavy shades of fear, doubt, selfishness, etc., between Him and ourselves.
Salvation consists in raising these shades and opening the windows-then He does the rest.

Taking A New Hold on Life - Frank B. Whitney
Your ability to take a new hold on life depends on your ability to break with the thought of the past and acquire a new outlook on the present and the future. Taking a new hold, then, is simply a matter of gaining the right perspective of time. If the past continues to be something to you, then the unpleasant events of the past will continue to live. Their hold on you will prevent your taking a new hold on life. If you would take a new hold on life, then life must ever be unfolding new viewpoints to you. The value of an unpleasant situation of yesterday lies entirely in its ability to contribute to your good of today. Today is the only time you, as a student of Truth, can recognize. You can do nothing now about the past beyond handling it in consciousness. Your future is taken care of by your mental attitude of today. Your life is enriched to the extent that you live in the present. The reason for this is that in the present you actually participate in the blessings of God. The present moment is the only time recognized by Spirit. You can see that you must grasp opportunities now, take a new hold on yourself now, enjoy the blessings of God now. The past and their belief in failures, injustice, and financial losses will have such a strangle hold upon those who will be unable to get a new grip on life. They will be unable to receive the good things that seek them today. Their thought about the past will act as a barrier to prosperity, justice, order, and success. Do you see that in order to lay hold of the blessings of today you must break with the unpleasant memories of yesterday? Do you see that as long as you hold to negative thoughts and conditions you cannot be receptive and responsive to new blessings? Your clinging to the memory of the misfortune and sorrow of yesterday keeps you from taking a new hold on life. Many an invalid has taken his first step toward recovery by dropping from his mind adverse thoughts of the past. By ridding his mind of hate, fear, jealousy, and revenge he has been able to lay hold of the love of God. By dropping from mind the belief in injustice and mistreatment, by forgiving others, he has taken a step toward receiving the healing power of God. Entertain the mental attitude in which you cease to pay attention to the failures and unpleasant memories of the past. Remember that Lot's wife became crystallized when she looked behind her. Your mental attitude should be such that you are always facing forward, enjoying the blessings in front, of you and preparing yourself for those which lie just beyond. The only time to take a new hold on life is the present time, the present moment. You but delay your salvation from adverse experiences as long as you fail to put out of your life the memories of unfortunate experiences, and to lay hold of the blessings at hand. You cannot continue in the thought that someone has treated you unjustly. You cannot continue to think of financial reverses, of a position you had yesterday that was better than the one you have today. You must try not to live in the past. If you would improve conditions you must make new history for yourself! To be content to bask in the glories and successes of yesterday is to fail to see the blessings of today right at hand. The thought we convey in this message is that of living in the now, adopting a new outlook on life, taking a new hold. When you live in memories of the past, you live in a dream, in an unreality. Only the present moment has reality in Truth. Only the present time offers you opportunities. You can live only in the present moment. If you would forget the past, you must forgive yourself: free yourself of the "sin" of holding yourself in the thought of limitation. You can forgive yourself only by disabusing your mind of the offending thought. This you can do by filling your mind with new ideas, new ideals, new interests. By this process you place yourself in position to receive from God.

Thinking Along With Raymond Charles Barker
Treatment is the science of inducing within a mind a concept, not a thing. When you are aware of a need you usually interpret that need in terms of a thing,
condition, situation or person. Realize that you never need a person, place or thing. You need an idea, a concept. Learn that the entire action of the universe is a
mental action. Your point in this operative field of mind is that of a thinker, a perceiver of concepts, a perceiver of ideas. Whatever concept you accept, whatever
ideas you accept, these will determine your experience in the world. Think back a few days to a time when something negative happened. What was your first

reaction? If your first reaction was to handle thought and you immediately denied the negative and affirmed the positive, you are learning how to treat.
You are in heaven to the extent that you are able to control your own consciousness. You do not experience heaven through a church, a religion or a book. You
produce it through the disciplining of your own consciousness. You have heaven when you relax and realize that this world is a grand place. This world is a great
adventure when you are feeling well, have enough money, are happy and have friends. That is why every one takes a two weeks' vacation to experience heaven.
On your vacation you have peace, joy and plenty. For two weeks you don't worry about anything, because you are enjoying yourself, and that is heaven.
This world is heaven, but you are not seeing heaven, and because you are not seeing heaven you are not experiencing it. You see heaven by clearing your own
vision, not by changing the world. You see heaven by treating yourself to life, here and now.
