There are many forms of prayer and some are more effective than others. Most prayers ask God to give us what we want. This type of prayer is called a prayer of supplication. This is not always effective but God does answer all our prayers including our subconscious prayers which can sabotage our conscious prayers. Our inner and outer prayer must be one to manifest in the way we want it to.
Scientific prayer unites our inner and outer prayers.
Prayers of supplication are not effective because they limit who we are and who God is. There are a number of steps to scientific prayer. R is recognizing the Qualities of God. U is unifying with these qualities. Whatever God is, we are.
