    About this ebook

    Optimistic Prayer seeks to instil confidence in the readers, that their prayer requests will be heard and answered when they develop a relationship with God.

    It is a return to innocence, to source, where we learn to depend on God solely, to deliver our desires and to move away from the fallacy that man is responsible for helping us to manifest our dreams.

    God is love and we have to Be of Him before we can do our petitions.

    This requires a transformation in our thinking and the courage to identify, acknowledge and relinquish lifestyle patterns, which do not serve our highest good, in accordance with Gods will for our lives.

    As your relationship with God becomes stronger, you will experience awe when your desires are created consistently and you will understand that when humans try to set limits for your dreams, God says: I AM mightier than your situation.

      And yet here I am, less than a year to 40, with a brand-new, shiny adjective to describe me. Divorced. A word I am all too familiar with from childhood. By the time I was 11, my parents were each in their third marriage, and I was well aware that the

      FOREWORD

      Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.—Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV

      Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.—Luke 12:32 NKJV

      Climb every mountain,

      Ford every stream,

      Follow every rainbow,

      ‘Till you find your dream.

      —The Sound of Music, Climb Every Mountain

      Let us explore a journey, where the energy of God’s love is radiating with pure anticipation and joy to fulfill our dreams, our desires, in accordance with His will for our lives.

      He so wants to answer our requests, but can only do so if we come to Him with purity of intention.

      Praying to God is not simply about reciting words. We have to be of Him to go to Him.

      Embrace, if you can, this message to you, from God, through the Holy Spirit:

      Be still and know that I AM God, Your Father, of reverence, forgiveness, grace, mercy and eternal love.

      Think of me as limitless, of unending thought, of creation beyond what you cannot know in human form.

      Let me introduce to you the concept of ‘purity of thought-form’ patterning.

      This world is majestic, of beauty, translucency, of no wrongdoing.

      It is the sphere where everything good happens. Feel the goodness pour through your body to every level of your consciousness with complete knowledge that only wonder,
