Step1
FIND A QUIET PLACE. This is the first step. Before we can go any further we need a place where you can be totally alone. Maybe it's the hall closet, or perhaps you need to get in the car and drive to a parking lot somewhere, or maybe you can walk to a park and find a quiet spot under a shade tree. Bring pad and pencil and go to that place.
Step2
Okay here you are in the park, garage, where ever. Take a deep breath and clear your mind. It isn't going to help you if you're worried about Judy's tennis lesson, or Billy's baseball practice or your spouse's taste in ties. Put everything out of your mind. You need to focus.
Step3
Okay, start writing. What you need to write down are the things you need "supernatural" that is, Holy or miraculous help with, and put them down on paper. It doesn't matter how large the request is. This must be done. Write it all down. Everything. If you want, you can take the bills, etcetera and put them in an envelope and call it, "supernatural help" or "God's bank account" or something like that. But put them all in there. Cast all your cares into or onto that place.
Step4
Once you've got it all down, put it aside. Either place it on the bench you're sitting on, or into an envelope or into a box. This list/collection of bills/etcetera is for you and for God. It's your request to Heaven, the Universe and the Creator. No one else really needs to see it, unless you want them to. But it's better if your list and the author of that list (meaning you) remain anonymous.
Step5
Okay here's the hard part. Now we have to actually talk to the big guy about what we need. If you don't know Him, or maybe you didn't believe in God, this might be a stretch. But let me put it to you this way..it doesn't matter. Here you are with your back up against the wall. This is the best time to seek help from above. I personally believe in Jesus, but I've known people who didn't really know him and who still are blessed by God, because it's a principal of the universe, if you put yourself to the side, if you humble yourself before this Higher Power, this Universe, this mother nature, this whatever you want to call our creator...He will respond. And if you don't feel you need the liaison, or you aren't sure..then just say so. This is the time to speak to the creator and tell Him what it is you need. I've got to stress the word need. There are things we'd like. There are things we want. But needs must first be met. So ask and you will receive a blessing.
Step6
Okay, you're in the park, garage, whatever, and you've made your petition, plea, etcetera to the Most High, the Creator of us all. Now what? does it miraculously happen overnight? Do you win the lottery? Do you get the new car? Does a check arrive slipped under your door overnight? Sometimes this happens. But the truth of the matter is this, it's all about your faith. It's all about how much you are willing to believe in what it is that you can't see or even understand or know? How willing are you to let go and let our Creator and whatever spiritual entities there are, whether you know them or not, take control? How willing are you to believe? I know it seems hard. But think of it this way, how much do we really know about anything anyway? Man says they know. But do they really? How much in the past did we know and then have to "un-know" when a truer truth became known, like the world being flat, or the fact the "bleeding" people with leaches actually contributes to their death, and don't even get me started on witches. You must believe in a higher power. Or you must suspend your disbelief. The good book says to test your faith. I firmly believe that even if you don't know God...He will show Himself to you, maybe not in a physical form, but in many different ways...and since it's all His anyway, He can make everything okay.
Step7
BELIEVE and look for signs! This is how it changes. I can't say that everything happens the way that we wish when we trust the Creator with our troubles, but if you will give him charge over your life and what is troubling you, He will give you answers. Sometimes they aren't the answers we want, and sometimes we find that the problem doesn't change, but we do, or we find a way out that we hadn't thought of, or strange coiincidences happen to help us to our destiny. You might lose the house but end up inheriting a Farm in Africa. Pray for prosperity and it will come to you. It may not come via the man-made ways that you seek, but you can be sure that if you ask in faith believing you will receive a blessing, and it will be greater than anything you could imagine! Because once you find joy it's amazing how everything else to seems to fail by comparison and your troubles will drop away like petals in the wind. Get your connection with our Creator straight and everything else will fall into place and He will make your path straight.
