FAITH: THE FOUNDATION OF PRAYER

by Pat Malone, RScP

As Religious Scientists, we have an exciting tool that sets us apart from other New Thought movements, and that tool is Spiritual Mind Treatment. Simply put, Spiritual Mind Treatment is an affirmative prayer, spoken in a specific manner and in the faith that it is done unto us as we believe.

To be an effective tool for true change, I believe that faith must be the foundation of treatment. Faith allows us to speak our word from a deep spiritual belief in the individual creative process which is based on the recognition of God's Infinite Self-givingness and the precise and infallible action of the Law.

Faith is not a passive or simple belief. It is an active knowing. It is an attitude of the mind and the soul. Faith is the result of knowledge and unwavering belief and conviction in the perfect operation of spiritual laws. When you know and understand the laws of the spiritual universe, you have faith they will work on your behalf. When you do not know spiritual laws, you place your faith in the belief that something or someone outside of yourself is the cause of what is happening or not happening in your life.

Faith empowers us to act, to transform and to create. Our actions demonstrate our faith by creating a reality in which that belief is made manifest. If we want to see where we have placed our faith, we just need to look at our lives.

To change our lives, we employ the power of faith through Spiritual Mind Treatment to create a deliberate movement of thought in our own consciousness. We release the old belief that is no longer working and replace it with a new belief based on spiritual principle.

Our consciousness is the only variable in Spiritual Mind Treatment.

We know that God as Love gives all to all and to all alike; we know what the God as Law always produces that which we most deeply believe. We become co-creators in our lives as we consciously choose what we shall put into the Law. As we imbue our consciousness with an active faith of the wholeness and perfection at the core of our being, faith becomes the fuel for the treatments that transform our lives.
