It has been said that even before you ask it is given unto you. It has also been said that if you ask, it shall be given unto you. Do you catch that? Asking is not begging. You do not beg the Source, for it is already given to you even before you ask. Begging and wanting simply give you a lack of that for which you beg and yearn.

It is also said that you can do anything if you believe. And it has been said that whatever you put your attention and intention to takes form. That is how you create things out of the quantum “soup” of pure energy — by attention, intention, and belief. Many masters, teachers, and sages from all cultures and times have told us not to worry, to practice detachment, to trust in the mysterious workings of the universe — not only because the universe works with supreme intelligence, but also because you may not be aware of what your soul or higher self is choosing.

Certainty, Consistency, Detachment, Gratitude

Here, then, is what it means to pray ceaselessly. You have a desire; you will it to come into being, to manifest. You intend it wholeheartedly, clearly, in a focused way, and with certainty. You pass this intent on to the Source, in whatever way you know how. Simple intention is enough, although meditation — stillness — is more effective when you have the time.

So you pass on your intent, and you become detached from it. In other words, you watch it from behind the scenes, without a desire that it should happen in any particular way or “time” or sequence. And because you know this works — because of your certainty and consistency, your detachment and gratitude — your intention will take form in the most unexpected and miraculous way. That is prayer.

Having Focused Intention All Day, Every Day

Praying without ceasing is going through the whole day, every day, with focused intention for all your life’s desires, with certainty, detachment, and gratitude. You don’t do this just once at a special time during the day and then act totally differently and remained confused the rest of the day.

Praying ceaselessly has to become a lifestyle. That is, prayer is meant to be active, ever-present, and part of your normal wakefulness. It is co-creative with the Source; it wills to action; it is self-assertive. It is not the periodic, passive, helpless, and emotional appeal that many of us were taught to conduct as children.

Asking Is Not The Same As Begging

Ask and it shall be given unto you; seek and you shall find. Yet before you ask, it is given unto you. Be self-assertive, co-creative, ever-present, and grateful. Intend to receive and don’t beg — that is praying without ceasing.

Get rid of the idea that prayer is the same as begging God for a favor. Lose your sense that God chooses whether or not to grant this favor and comes down and does both your work and his own.

Using Clear Intention, Certainty, Gratitude, Detachment

Certainty & Gratitude: How To Create Things from the “Quantum” Soup of Pure Energy Prayer is actually will, and will is co-creative. Your part of it is to use clear intention, certainty, gratitude, detachment. You must have certainty; you must know you have this power; and you must trust that the Source is friendly to your plans. To the extent that you do so, your prayers, your will, will be “answered.”

There is no criterion by which the Source decides to grant or not to grant prayers. The laws of the universe apply to all equally and unfailingly. Prayer is an inward energetic process, a call you give out with a detached expectation of an answer, without a shred of doubt. It is strong and certain will.

How To Pray Without Ceasing: Just Be Grateful & Smile!

When you realize that even the request is unnecessary — that you are one with All That Is, including whatever it is that you wish to have, and that you are the granter and conveyer of that wish — you will truly be praying and receiving without fail. For your prayers will be of pure gratitude for what is already given unto you, even before you ask. The request is not necessary. Just be grateful and smile!
