Summary

The article discusses the importance of praying correctly by focusing on feeling and gratitude rather than lack and desire.

Abstract

The article titled "Are Your Prayers Regularly Being Answered?" suggests that many people do not pray effectively because they focus on what they lack rather than what they desire to manifest. It introduces the concept of the Divine Matrix, a quantum field that responds to energy rather than words. The author, referencing Gregg Braden, emphasizes that to communicate with this field, one must emit the right energetic vibrations through feelings, not requests. The correct method of prayer involves feeling as though the prayer has already been answered and expressing gratitude for it. This approach aligns with the teachings of affirmative prayer, which combines feelings, thoughts, and words to manifest desires. The article concludes by encouraging readers to practice this form of prayer and to watch a video of Gregg Braden explaining the concept.

  • Feeling gratitude for what one wishes to receive is crucial in the process of manifestation.
  • Affirmative prayer is recommended as a method of aligning one's feelings, thoughts, and words with the desired manifestation.
  • The article promotes the idea that the Universe will conspire to fulfill desires when prayers are conducted with the right feelings and gratitude.

Are Your Prayers Regularly Being Answered?

If not, then perhaps you’re not praying correctly.

When it comes to prayer, most people don’t pray correctly. You probably ask your Higher Power for the things you want. But by doing so, you imply that you’re currently lacking them. You’re putting vibrations of “lacking” out into the Universe.

Gregg Braden says that the Divine Matrix is a quantum field that is the container for all things. It is possible to manifest anything from the quantum field if we know how to do it. If we ask for something with our words or our voice, this is not a language that the quantum field understands.

The way to communicate with the quantum field is via energy. In another article I wrote, I talk about how the heart gives off electromagnetic energy. Your heart emanates a specific energetic vibration based on how you feel. This is the way to communicate with the Divine Matrix. When you’re in vibrational alignment with the quantum field, there is nothing that can’t be yours!

Gregg Braden tells the story of his friend David who invited him to “pray for rain” during one of the most extraordinary droughts in the history of the American southwest. He didn’t ask for rain because that would mean admitting that he doesn’t have it.

Instead, he took his boots off, stood in the sand, and imagined that he could feel the mud from the rain on his naked feet. Then he smelled the rain rolling off the walls of his pueblo home. He felt the feelings he would have if his prayers were already answered. And then he gave thanks for the rain.

This is the correct way to pray for rain, rather than asking for rain with your words or thoughts.

FEELING is the prayer! This is the right way to pray. Feel as if your prayers have already been answered, and then give thanks.

“Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” — Mark 11:24

Affirmative prayer is the practice of aligning your feelings, thoughts, and words with what you want to manifest. It’s a way of communicating with the Divine, and it opens up the possibility for anything to become possible.

Gratitude is essential when practicing affirmative prayer — when you’re already thankful for what you’ll receive, it allows you to receive it, and more.

I encourage you to watch Gregg Braden explain it in his own words:

So the next time you find yourself wanting something, don’t just ask for it in prayer. Feel it, believe it, and be grateful for it — and watch as the Universe conspires to make your desires a reality.
