Affirmative Prayer Practice Insights
The practice of affirmative prayer takes the practice of prayer beyond the idea of supplication and petition to a divinity separate from us. It centers us in the awareness of our oneness with the universal presence and power of the Divine in eternal all, and everything. Prayer becomes our simply practice of the Divine presence and power within. Prayer is then, the practice of the presence and application of the power that is Divine, and the Source and Supply of the substance that is our truth and our best and highest good. Here are some general insights to the practice of prayer from the writings of James Allen.

Mind and Consciousness: As You Think So You Are
"As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains." James Allen
Your habitual thinking creates your consciousness. What you habitually think, and assign evident to, accept as true, creates your consciousness and projects out to influence the circumstances of your life. Your mind is made of the ideas. As you think, so you are. Your habitual thinking determines the attitudes, intentions and expectations you project into the world and how you show up in life. Your consciousness is a self fulfilling prophecy, consistently and constructively determining the conditions and circumstances of your life. Change begins with what you and how you think.
The Law of Mind: You Reap What You Sow ...
"You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." James Allen. This universal spiritual law determines that if you sow apple seeds, these will always sprout and grow into an apple tree that flowers and fruits, producing a harvest of apples. You can never get oranges from an apple seed. you will always harvest apples.Another way to think of the spiritual principle of 'as you think, so you are,' is to see it as a universal law of mind that you reap what you sow.
Your Mind is a Garden: A Gardener be ...
"A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind." James Allen
Your mind and your consciousness are a garden that you are required to tend. What you sow in the fertile soil of your mind and heart you reap in the conditions of your life.
Begin With the End in Mind ...
Reflect on the results you are trying to harvest in your life, and plant those seeds as the thoughts of your conscious and habitual thinking. If you desire a fuller demonstration of health in you life, the think health, feel health, speak health and align you choices and actions with health, and as the flower follows the seed, and the fruit follows the flower, so a harvest of health will manifest in you life.
Denial is the renouncing of the power of error over you.
Affirmative Prayer is a Claiming of Truth
Heart Centered Metaphysics by Rev. Paul Hasselbeck
Affirmative prayer is the act of declaring and claiming what is already True in the Absolute Realm.
Pray for the awareness of Divine Ideas and not things; awareness of Divine Ideas is the answer to prayer.
Denials and affirmations cleanse our consciousness of error beliefs as well as help to release mental tensions and distractions so we are able to claim the Truth we know.
