Wilferd PetersonHe knows that as long as a man keeps his faith in God and in himself nothing can permanently defeat him.
Wilferd PetersonThe secret of being more vitally alive is to be more aware. Starting today, from this moment, become aware of awareness!
Wilferd PetersonPrayer is thinking and thanking. It is thinking of our many blessings and accepting them with a thankful spirit.
Wilferd PetersonPrayer works in the mind as a healing force. It calms the patient, enlightens the physician, guides the surgeon, and it often victoriously applies the power of the spirit when all seems lost. It proves, over and over again, the truth of Tennyson's words: "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of." Prayer puts us on God's side. It aligns us with life's higher purposes, aims, and ideals. Prayer is dedicating our thought, feeling and action to the expression of goodness. It is to become like a window through which the light of God shines.
