Your Life Is Your Prayer

Inspirational and Spiritual Prayer Guide If you liked Help, Thanks, Wow by Anne Lamott or Anxious for Nothing by Max Lucado, you'll love Your Life is Your Prayer. Prayer can point your life in the right direction--or the wrong one: Whatever you've got going on in your life is what you've been praying for--sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously. If you want something different in your life, you must pray a different prayer. Your Life is Your Prayer by BJ Gallagher and Sam Beasley will show you how to do just that. Everything you do is prayer: You may not realize it--many people don't--but the decisions you make throughout the day, the attitudes you adopt, the conversations you have, the way you respond to other people, and the thoughts you think are all prayers. The food you choose to eat is a prayer, the way you spend your money is a prayer--even the way you drive is a prayer! We are constantly communing with the Divine, even in our most mundane activities. And our prayers are always answered in the affirmative: "Yes." The Universe will give you what you're praying for: Whatever you're thinking about (and therefore praying about) will manifest in your life. If you are worrying, "I don't have enough money," the Universe will say 'Yes, you don't have enough money.' If you're constantly lamenting, "I don't have a man in my life," the Universe will respond, 'Yes, you don't have a man.' If you frequently complain, "I'm fat," the Universe will answer, 'Yes, you're fat.' Your thoughts and words are prayers, and the Universe always gives you what you're praying for. Your Life is Your Prayer will show you how to change your life by changing your prayer: Learn how to stop complaining Discover how to focus on what you do want, not what you don't want Learn how to make your prayers positive and affirming--to get more of what you want in your life Discover how, by constantly choosing new thoughts and new conversations, you will literally create a new life for yourself
