Introduction

For a few years now, I’ve been making prayers from time to time that I’ve mostly discovered by tinkering. There are very few resources out there that are suitable for teaching people how to make prayers that are effective, so I’ve written this book to share my prayers so that others can benefit from them.

I find prayers are most needed when things are getting too ‘busy’ mentally, and they help to calm things down. I can’t say for certain what effect particular prayers will have – depending on the type of prayer, something might only change in a subtle way or in a different part of the world that you’re not able to observe. Even if you identify as an atheist, you have nothing to lose by trying a few prayers here and there (and you don’t even have to tell anyone about it!).

Something to keep in mind about prayers is that some things are beyond the power of prayer to fix. If you have a broken object, prayer won’t magically repair that object, and if someone has a particular illness or injury, prayer won’t magically heal it. Praying for world peace is a respectable goal, but just praying for world peace isn’t likely to achieve any tangible results – you need something more specific and more easily achievable. So don’t expect prayer will magically fix everything, prayer has limitations – it generally doesn’t alter material objects in any way.

When you know what prayer can and can’t do, you are empowered to make prayers that will actually have an effect on the world, no matter how small that effect may be. Prayers for healing and prayers for unconditional love are some of the most effective prayers, even though you don’t necessarily see a difference in the world, you can feel a change in energy, which gives you the determination to persevere with prayers despite not being able to see a tangible difference in the world.

Another thing to keep in mind is the power of a prayer is partially dependent of the number of people who make the prayer, so no matter how frequently you pray, as an individual person there is only so much prayer is capable of. If you had a town hall or a church full of people making the same prayers, there might be a more noticeable effect but I can’t confirm that.

Don’t let yourself get discouraged, especially when making prayers for unconditional love – unconditional love can take a while to generate, and some parts of the world are worse off than others depending on circumstances. The important thing is that you want to make a difference in the world, and with prayer you can do that anytime and anywhere.

If this book increases the number of people regularly making particular kinds of prayers by even a modest amount, it will have made a difference in ways almost no creative
