Do you suffer from fears that keep you from living the life you want? Did you know that there are effective tools and techniques available for overcoming fear and living life free from fears and phobias? Prayers are one of the powerful tools at your disposal. Let's talk about how you can use the power of Prayer to live your life free from fear.
Praying in and of itself can be an antidote to fear. Your prayers don't need to be answered for prayer to help you. The act of praying itself can occupy your mind so completely that there's no room for fearful thoughts. Without the fearful thoughts to sustain it, your fear will subside and you will find yourself calmer and more relaxed.
When the goal is to be free from fear, there are a few types of prayer that are especially powerful. Here's a short introduction to each form.
Petitioning Prayer is the kind most of us learned as children. In this kind of prayer we ask that a specific result be granted to us. You would ask the higher power to prevent something bad from happening. Alternately, you could simply ask that your fear be lifted. You can word this kind of prayer in a way that's particularly conducive to becoming free from fear.
Affirmative Prayer goes a step beyond the Petitioning form in that the Affirmative form affirms to whatever higher power you believe in that you are sure things will turn out ok. You might state that you know the higher power is going to take care of things and you know everything will work out for the best. This approach is powerful because you are stating that things will go well instead of asking and hoping that they will.
Gratitude Prayer doesn't ask for anything or assert that you're sure something will work out. Rather, you think about each of the many things in your life you have to be thankful for, and give heartfelt thanks for each. When you concentrate on listing all the good things in your life, and give heartfelt thanks for all those good things, it becomes extremely hard to remain fearful. All the positive energy this activity generates lifts you out of a dark and fearful state into a light and inspired one.
Silent Communion is a meditative type of prayer. You close your eyes and imagine a cord of white light passing from the universe, through the top of your head, into your center. One the white light reaches your center, picture it slowly diffusing throughout you. As it move through your body, it drives out fear and darkness. Picturing the light as it spreads through your body causes lightness and happiness and peace to suffuse through your body as well.
Remember that these are just some of the forms of prayer that can help you deal with and eliminate fear. But as long as it makes you feel better and eases your fears, any type of prayer you choose is the right type of prayer for you.
This is just one of the many techniques you can use to cure fear and free your life. If you would like to learn more about how to apply this technique as well as learn about 21 more tools that can help you cure fear permanently, please go to http://BeFreeFromFear.com.
