Prayer Power: Divine Love

by Catherine Ponder 


Many people work hard to attract greater good in superficial ways without first habitually radiating its mental equivalent, and then they are sorely disappointed when their great efforts result in failure and disappointment.  Once when I was talking with a lady who felt she would like to be married, I suggested that she invoke the law of radiation and attraction.  After explaining that she must radiate before she could attract, I suggested that she prayerfully radiate these ideas over and over:  Divine Love expressing through me now draws to me all that is needed to make me happy and my life complete.

A little later I began receiving reports from mutual friends that she was working hard on the attracting angle, but was radiating nothing more than telephone calls and obvious invitations to all the men of her acquaintance.  Later she returned and reported that the suggested prayer method had not worked.  Gently, I reminded her that she had not radiated the "prayer method" suggested, but had radiated the "scare method", which had not been suggested.  The method had worked in reverse, because she had reversed the process.

A middle-aged widow more recently dared to try the radiation and attraction method for the same purpose. While floating in a swimming pool she silently affirmed over and over:  Divine Love expressing through me now draws to me all that is needed to make me happy and my life complete.  Presently she heard a man's voice calling to her from the side of the pool, inquiring about the water which she assured him was wonderful.  Soon, he was in the water and a little later he was in her life as her husband.

Prayer Power: Be Deliberate About Wealth

by Catherine Ponder
You've got to radiate deliberately in order to attract the good you desire; otherwise, you get into a limited trend of thought and produce limited results.  What you do radiate or deliberately entertain mentally, you constantly attract.

Instead of fretting about whether the law of radiation and attraction is working rightly in the lives of others, proceed quietly to prove the laws of prosperous thinking for yourself.

A stockbroker whose business associates were watching the market reports and declaring how slow things were, slipped into a private office and quietly relaxed.  As he did so, he began to radiate this thought:  Everything and everybody prospers me now.  Suddenly, the telephone began to ring and ring.  Within a short time he had received more business by telephone than he had received through any channel in several days.

Prayer Power: Radiate and You Will Attract Success

A friend in the public relations business recently use the law of radiation and attraction with successful results. For some time he had desired a certain out-of-state account and had made every reasonable effort to obtain it. Finally he decided that he would definitely entertain and mentally radiate the desire for that account strongly, deliberately and boldly; feeling that surely in due time he would receive that account or a bigger one.

He quietly sat down and thought about that account as though he were already handling it.  He went over that account in his mind and thought of all the ways he would attempt to serve that client's best interests if he were handling their public relations.  He thought about the account and the people involved for a long time and in great detail.  He also declared over and over for a time:  I am not discouraged.  I am persistent. I go forward.  I am determined to achieve success in God's own wonderful way for me.  When a sense of peace came over him, he dismissed the matter from his mind.
