The power of prayer

While working at the Brighton MBS event, I met a beautiful young lady who came up to me, offering to pray for me.
It was clear to see I was not feeling tip, top. I had a sty in one eye and looked run down, only the energies of the Angels and the excitement of meeting so many wonderful people, keeping my “batteries” running.
The young lady, simply put her hand on my knee as she spoke to Jesus. The power of prayer was immense. Such a high vibration of energy, running through my body as she spoke softly her prayer for healing.

My sty did not go, as the prayer had asked and the following day, I was feeling much worse – looking it too!
I did not disregard the prayer or “poo poo” it, just trusted that I was meant to feel worse before better.
By the Monday, (two days later) I had six sties in the same eye and conjunctivitis, achieving a rather good impression of the Hunchback of Notre- dame. *smile*.

On the drive home from the doctors, I stopped at the seafront, sitting in silence. The message came through loud and clear. Something I was seeing in my life with my physical eyes was causing me great pain and in some respects a hint of anger. This was being presented to me as pain and discomfort in my eye. I knew the prayer had been answered. For my sty to have been healed on the Saturday would have meant that I would not have looked at the cause of the sty and bimbled on (as you do), not healing the situation in my life. Instead it had become so awful that I was made to sit in silence and heal from the inside.

The whole experience of feeling the energy of prayer and the way the prayer was answered set me off on a quest for further answers.

You see, I am sure I am not the only one, I have been inclined to “drop my rattle”, crying to the Angels for help, even shouting at them (poor things) in my depths of despair, to find…….. No answer. Leaving me completely confused as to why there was no guidance or support WHEN I ASKED.
But I WASN’T ASKING was I. I was shouting, crying, yelling.
Would you give to a child throwing a tantrum? Would you give to a stroppy teenager? I think the answer is likely to be “no”. So why would the Angels, God, and the Universe.
When we pray with a calm, loving, peaceful approach, we are more likely to receive.

More clarity to began to pour in..

Often we ask or pray for help with a situation but then do not let go. We send a prayer and then while we are waiting, we busy around doing human things trying to fix it ourselves. This is not letting go nor trusting in the Angels. It is like saying “I’m asking for your help but in the meantime, I’m just going to try this..”.

A child has a Teddy. Teddy’s leg is clinging on by a single thread, looking very sorry for himself. The child wants his parent to fix Teddy but cannot bear to let go. How long will Teddy take to fix? Will Teddy think I don’t love him anymore, if I send him away for a bit? How will I cope without Teddy?
The parent cannot fix Teddy until the child lets go and gives the parent time to work on poor Teddy’s leg. The child also needs to understand and trust that Teddy will come back as good as new or Teddy will come back as a new and refreshed Teddy with two fabulous legs and a “squeaker”!

It is the same in prayer. Let it go and trust that all will be fixed or something better will come. It is such a huge sigh of relief to be able to do this, it is sort of “I trust God and the Angels are sorting that one out, so it gives me time and energy to …”.
It does not meant you have given up, lost interest, no longer care – you have sent a prayer and it will be answered.
It will be answered for your HIGHEST GOOD. My sty did not heal straight away; this would not have been for my Highest Good. Instead it became six sties and an eye infection – that was for my Highest Good. It made me look past the pain in my eyes, to the pain in my life, only then did it heal.

The Angels, God, the Universe, whatever it is you feel most comfortable praying to. It is all about one thing, Love. The Angels loving you, as their most precious child. You loving them with the innocence and trust of a child. And you loving you and knowing you deserve the blessings of the Heavens.

One of my beautiful students emailed me this, this morning, just after I had finished writing this piece -

‘You can have anything you want. You just have to ask for it and believe that you can have it.’
