A Home For Lenny
Donna, NY. Praise God. A few weeks ago I requested prayer for a home for Lenny. Lenny is a stray cat who showed up at a feral cat colony I take care of. He was badly hurt probably by another animal. He wasn't used to being out of doors and wasn't in good shape when God had our paths cross. I was full of fear because after taking him to the vet he tested FIV+. I didn't know if God was going to provide a home for Lenny or if I would have to accept facts and put him back outdoors. A rescuer named Lyn answered an e-mail for an adoptive home for Lenny. I delivered him to her on Saturday. She's just perfect for him. She knows exactly how to care for him and will provide a wonderful loving home. Thank you God for answered prayer and for relief from fear.
Primary Win
Christina, Michigan, USA. Thank you everyone for helping me to easily win my primary election race last week. I will need your continued prayers for my successful election in November. In Peace
Husband a New Person
Dinah. For many months now I have asked all of you to pray for my husband, and my family. I must let you know that my husband is healing now from his addictions and depression and is becoming a new person. I truly feel whenever we go through changes in life it is not necessary to ask for the person we once new again, but to be totally and fully static about the new person that evolves from the adversity. This is where I am ever grateful, for a Divine and loving God that DOES hear our prayers and for people like you that continue to pray daily for total strangers. May God continue to be a part of your every moment! Thank you with the utmost Gratitude, and May you continue to remember us in your prayers. I am praying for all of you.
Passed Examination
Dave C
. Muchisimas gracias, gracias a Dios y a usted logré pasar mi exámen. Quisiera pedir por favor que rezara para que Dios ilumine mi mente y pueda tomar buenas decisiones en mi vida sentimental.Accepted for special studies
Carl. Just a few lines to say thank you all for answered prayers. I was recently accepted into a school which has been my dream to attend, for many years. When I first applied to this school all doors seemed closed. Even though I had great letters of recommendations, by all appearances, it seemed out of reach for me. My grades could have been better and there was another small snag that had to be corrected. Acceptance seemed grim. With only a few candidate openings available, I tried to keep my focus on letting go and letting God. I kept applying to other schools and then a few weeks after requesting prayer I received a letter from that very school, stating that I was one of the candidates selected to attend. I could not believe my eyes. This for me, is an wonderful opportunity, a blessing, a miracle. Words cannot express how I feel. I plan to do my best studying here and graduate with a degree that will help me to help others. Thank you again.
Miracles can and do happen!
Rev. Michael. I would like to let you know that once again my prayers were answered. My daughter Kate made it to the hospital just in time. She was bleeding internally, she had a cyst on her ovaries that had ruptured as her appendix was just about to do. If it would have, Kate would have been in serious trouble. As it was she had five very large cysts on her ovaries, which were removed. She is home resting and doing very well. I would like to thank everyone who prayed for my daughter. I would also like to share another answered prayer with you. My brother in law was set to go in for heart surgery. He was told by the doctors that 1/2 of his heart was dead, due to lack of circulation. I prayed using Emmet's scientific method and was on my way up the stairs to write a prayer request. I was overcome by a feeling of peace and love and I received a message, for lack of a better term. That message was that everything would be alright, there was no ambiguity in it, I knew that everything was alright. Less than five minutes after I had this feeling, I received a phone call from my daughter, telling me that my brother in laws' heart had miraculously healed itself and that there was no need for any procedure whatsoever. Once again my prayers had been answered. I would like to thank you again for this wonderful site. I would like to let everyone know that miracles can and do happen. All that is required is to ask and have faith. Faith in God. Peace and blessings to all.
Back to Great
Job Offer
Brian, PA. I wanted to share with you the happy news that I have already received an answer to my prayer request of June 5. Yesterday I received a job offer with an excellent company for a great salary and benefits. And it all came to pass in the space of a few weeks! This is an amazing demonstration, and I am very thankful. Prayer definitely works. That's why I'm proud to be a prayer partner with your ministry. Thanks for your presence on the web, and in Spirit. I wish you every blessing -- "health, wealth, love, and perfect self-expression" (to quote Florence Scovel Shinn). Joy and Peace.
Golden Key is Turning
Lorraine USA, recently I wrote, I asked for prayer, I am seeing the outcome and it is positive. My heart, my mind, my spirit is filled with gratitude for all your prayers. In my deepest soul I am convicted to a positive outcome for what my son, David, is facing. The joy of God's love fills me. It is turning, I have gained so much in faith since I came to this site to share my belief and my prayers. Keeping my thoughts on God works to turn the Golden Key. Thank you for strengthening my faith. God Bless, Amen
Giving Thanks
Leslie, British Columbia. I also want to give thanks for my friend Stefanie who is clear of cancer after having a double mastectomy - she is only 40 and has a lovely little girl. I am so glad she is ok. I also want to give thanks for all the free therapeutic support I have received recently. And the wonderful transformation that has taken place with my significant other. God bless.
Re-united
Maggie. My prayer for the perfect partner was answered. My fiancé and I reunited after a two-month separation. Our commitment to each other is stronger than ever. Although I had called it off, our wedding is now back on, miraculously taking place on the same date, at the designated place, and with all the original vendors. I believe that the prayers of the group helped both of us stay strong and positive and see the truth of the situation. I am grateful for having found your website in my time of need. I am sending you a tithe in appreciation of your good works. Warm regards
I Received My Guidance
Rev. Ann. Just read June's newsletter - in it I received my guidance. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do - gives me encouragement I can accomplish what I desire. Desire as Emile Cady states in Lessons in Truth is God desiring to give us more good.
Business Project Turns Around
Ehsan, United Arab Emirates. Greetings. I am pleased to write to affirm positive answered prayer to my request for spiritual help and prayer support. The business project which I wrote to you about was very grim with the possibility of my losing a large amount of invested money. Through divine intervention the situation turned around to the benefit of all involved. I thank you for your prayer help and uplifting words of encouragement. God works in the most wonderful and un-predictable ways.
Up And Walking Again
Nalda, Spain. Thank you all for your prayers for our family, especially my son who was injured in an accident. We were not certain how much the injury would effect his walking and moving for the rest of his life. The doctors were not giving us the good news that we wanted to hear. While I sat by his bedside in the hospital I handed everything over to God and I accepted my sons healing. I refused to see him in anyway but perfect. I read Emmet Fox's The Golden Key and The Lord's Prayer booklets over and over. I knew all of our prayers were working when my son began to get feelings in his legs. The good news to report is that my son is doing well, he is out of the hospital and beginning to take steps, he is up and walking again. The doctors tell us with therapy he will be walking with only a slight limp. This is truly an answer to prayer. Our family feels very blessed. Thank you God.
Prayers Work
K. I just wanted to say thank you for your prayers. My friend TW underwent the knee surgery, and is in excellent health. And, the doctors were amazed that his knee and body are stronger than ever. Prayer works. God bless you all.
I have my daughter back
Pam, USA. I
am writing this is to say thank you and it is also helping me express the
emotion I feel at this time. When I first asked for prayers for my adult
daughter the situation in our lives was a living nightmare. She was
diagnosed with a chemical imbalance, she was depressed all of the time, she was
anxious, could not work or even take care of her children. My husband and
I did all we could for her financially and emotionally and finally took the
children into our home since she was in and out of hospitals. The
situation was very bleak and my daughter was up to six different medications
daily. She was so depressed she talked about taking her own life. I
wanted so much for her to be well. I just kept picturing her as I knew her
before her divorce, a bright, happy, caring girl. I worked with
affirmations and read Emmet Fox's Lord's Prayer interpretation every day.
Everyday I prayed thanking God for her return to a normal life and I talked to
her in a uplifting and positive way. About five months ago she re-entered the
hospital in a bad way. There she met a new doctor on staff who took an
interest in her case. He said she was over medicated. She began to
show signs of improvement. I brought her my copy of the Golden Key audio
since it was difficult for her to concentrate and read. She played it,
enjoyed it, and asked for more. I began getting her audio CD's and she loved
them. With a new doctor, new medications, new diet, new, spiritual
nourishment, and most of all the power of prayers, my daughter looked alive
again and was getting a handle on her mental and physical health. It is
five plus months now and she is doing wonderfully. The depression is gone
and she is thinking about a part time job to be out with people. This is our
miracle, our answer to prayer. I thank God every day. I have my
daughter back and my grandchildren have their mom back again. Thank you for
all your prayers.
Health Improved
Clark. That pulsating
sensation in my brain that bothered me for so long has gone away. Another solid
demonstration. God Bless.
Winter Wedding Planned
Bobbie, USA. I am so happy to be writing to you all. The first time I wrote I was sad and emotionally drained. Nothing seemed to be working right in my life. My job had ended, my mom had just passed away and the relationship I was in ended. The man whom I thought was the man of my dreams turned out to be one of my worst nightmares. I discovered he was lying to me about who he really was. I lost my sense of trust. In desperation I turned to this ministry. In fact I wrote several times asking for prayer support. I hung on your words and your communications. I used the affirmations suggested throughout the days and they actually made me feel better. I could feel a sense of hope again and saw a glimmer of light in my life. I obtained a new and better job. I was out again meeting people. I know now that nothing is by accident, however, in a most unusual set of circumstances, I met a wonderful supportive man, a doctor. This year has been like a new birth for me. This letter is to let you know of our engagement and to say thank you for your prayers which has helped to get my life back in order again. Thank you God and thank you all. A winter wedding is planned.
No Dialysis Needed
Joseph, New York. I would like to share a few lines about the power of positive prayer. I was diagnosed with hepatitis C, my health was failing and I was told I was probably facing kidney dialysis do to complications. At first I was horrified, thinking that I am not that old for all of this. Then I turned to affirmative prayer and decided not to accept this news into my thoughts or into my life any longer. When I contacted this ministry I felt uplifted immediately. I took one day at a time and gave no thoughts to what could be, or what I was told by doctors. I began to gain some weight back, I was feeling better and I just got the good news. No dialysis is needed and the Hep C is under control. I am doing well. I am so grateful for coming into this teaching, for Emmet Fox, this ministry and mostly for God in my life. Thank you all for helping me get through this. A tithe is on its way.
My Prayer Was Answered
Averil, South Africa
. This is to thank you and everyone who prayed for me recently for right employment. The prayers were answered - I thank you and all concerned sincerely for praying for me. Many blessings -Thank you God.
Carlo and Sarah, Italy. We give thanks to God and to the prayer partners for restored health.
Reunited
Mary A. The following day after sending my prayer request, and when I was thinking my marriage was over, my husband came to me with a peace offer and regret. Thank you all
Back to Normal
Georgia Dad. Please post this as a thank you to God for answered prayer. I was in what seemed to be a hopeless situation. I obtained a new job after many months of un-employment, which involved frequent travel. That meant that my wife, whom I love dearly, would be at home with the children. It seemed to be working out ok at first. After a while she began to feel depressed when I was away. Then she started drinking. The drinking got worse and I had to have a family member from out of town move in. My wife became angry at this. Things at home became very difficult and the children were suffering. I was considering leaving the job even though I need it. My wife refused to get any help and was in denial about her drinking. After many conversations and then me getting firm, she went to an AA meeting and told me it was too religious for her. She refused any suggestion of psychological help. I did not know what to do. I asked for prayer and guidance and began using affirmations and prayer treatments. I told her that I had to quit the job and stay home with the kids since she was not attending to them. She became very sad. The following morning she said God touched her. She told me that she would seek help. She began seeing a psychologist. Things got better. She now has a handle on the problem. Also, my company said that I don't have to travel as much. Its has been three months now and we are back to somewhat of a more normal existence. I feel like a heavy burden has been lifted. Everyone prayed, my wife saw the light, my travel became less, my children are fine, and God answered my prayers. Thank you God.
The Power of Prayer
Rev. Michael.
This is a little overdue in coming. I just wanted you to know the reason for my
numerous prayer requests is that they have all been answered. My son, was facing
16yrs in prison; a long time for just one mistake, the day of his trial, out of
nowhere:) An attorney he had never met came to his trial and lo and behold all
charges were dropped. I had asked for my daughters tumor to be benign and it
was. I asked for my daughter to find the perfect job, and she did. My other sons
charges were dropped. The list goes on......Now when anyone needs anything they
ask me to post a request to your page. I have not the words to describe my
feelings of joy for all of the good work you have been doing. I thank you from
the bottom of my heart. All things are possible through our Father. The power of
prayer should never be underestimated! Peace and blessings this perfect day
Mother Doing Well.
Mary, PA. A while back I had requested prayers for my elderly parents, particularly my mother, who was quite ill and going in for tests with regard to the possibility of a having a very serious and life threatening disease. The test came back ok, and though they feel she may not be out of the woods yet, she's been feeling so much better and there's been a noticeable improvement in her energy and spirits. She's 88 years old and my dad is 92, and they have been married and together for over 60 years. That in itself is a wonderful blessing! We are so grateful for this improvement in her health, and my folks are now finally planning to move into a facility where life will be easier for them, and less stressful for us children who worry about them so much. We know they will have more options for care available when we can't be there while we're working. I know my prayer request was heard and answered, and just wanted to post a note of thanks and gratitude to all those who have so generously spent time in prayer for her. I trust the other part of my prayer request is also on it's way and look forward to posting a further response of thanks and gratitude once again. My heartfelt blessings to all of you.
Life Long Dream Achieved
Sandy. When I initially wrote for prayer I was out of work and needed a job. I had rent and bills like everyone else but no one around me to help out financially or emotionally. My dream in life has always been to own or have a partnership in my own company. That dream was put aside when my job ended. I could only think of surviving. Everyone was praying for me and I was working with the Golden Key and I obtained a good job in a very tight industry. My prayers were answered. Thank God. I love my position and gave it my all. After, I signed on with the prosperity program and I worked it diligently. I had never used affirmations before, and I gained a great deal of new concepts about the way I was thinking. I even made my first tithe. I kept working with the prosperity concepts and the Golden Key. I accepted and expected all good in my life and continued to affirm my dream of owning my own company. This note is to share the demonstration of my life long dream. Sales under my direction raised significantly since I took this position, and because of this, the owner of the company, who is considering semi-retirement, offered me a full partnership this week, without need for financial investment. This is my personal miracle. My heart is full of gratitude. I am filled with joy and I feel the presence of God in my life. Thank you for being part of my dream. Thank you God.
No Cancer
Ana. I asked for help some months ago. (sorry for my English) Finally I can say after the examinations my breast and ovarian are well. I have a liquid cyst in my breast but it doesn't matter because that is very usual and always is benign. I don´t need biopsy or treatment . I don´t need nothing. Everything is OK. Thanks!. You are a true help. I will pray for you. And thanks Emmet Fox for write and inspire us. And specially Thanks God.
Perfect Position
Jette New Mexico, USA. Hello! I discovered the Golden Key and your wonderful web site in June or July of 2006. This was just when I was seeking a new job that "felt right" after several in a row where I worked for abusive bosses. Voila! I thought of the qualities of God every time my job search or job anxiety came to mind, and I've been working at a good company for a very kind, respectful boss since that September. Life brings changes, and I decided late last year I was ready for some more flexibility and freedom. Some steady freelance writing work, I thought, and a part-time office position so I would still have steady pay but also be free to run around doing interviews and writing articles for a newspaper or magazine. I have learned how powerful the Golden Key is, so I turned to it frequently as I tried to refine and envision the balanced, more enjoyable work life I desired. The perfect part-time position has now been offered to me and a steady freelance job came my way in the past few months, too. I can remember thinking months ago, "I cannot really imagine how all this could manifest, but it is what I want," and then doing the Golden Key. Thank you for putting out the word about this amazing tool. I'm grateful and excited to start this new phase in my life.
No Infection
K. I want to thank you all
for your prayers. When I went back to the dentist, he found that there was no
infection at all. So, what could have been a costly and lengthy procedure,
turned out to me something very minor. God is blessing all of you.
Answered Prayers
Nicole, Hawaii.
I want to thank you for the prayers for my daughter, her court hearing went very well...thank you.Demonstrating
Nancellen, Connecticut. I just got a job where they will train me for free and it is also flexible. Very good for me because I want to go to London this fall and present my artwork to a certain gallery to be exhibited. I had no money to buy oil for my home. I applied for some assistance from the city to buy oil and it was granted. It snows a lot here and my neighbor plows my huge driveway for free. friends have given me food and firewood. The other day I was in the store at 11 pm and needed to call my sister. The payphone was broken and my cell phone was not working. A clerk I had always been friendly to walked by and said "what's the matter hon?" I explained the situation and she smiled and took me directly to a phone to use. I am very grateful to God for my art talent, my art supplies, my beauty, cats, my sisters, and kind warm friends and the golden key site.
Cosmo the Cat is Home
Marianne, New Jersey. Cosmo is HOME! We searched today in an area that is so congested with town homes and apartments that it was impossible to cover the entire community. Walking around with flyers, posting on dumpsters and mailboxes in the cold and wind. I saw a group of boys playing and I went to them showing them the flyer. They said yes, they have seen an orange cat over by the playground/pool area but it would run from them into the drainage sewer grates. We had been looking in a totally opposite direction no where near where Cosmo was sighted. We went to the playground area and asked a man walking his dog. He said his girlfriend saw cats in the bushes near their house that morning. Cosmo's owner started calling down into the grates and shaking the food container. Nothing. My other friend and I saw a woman in her home and showed her the picture, she said she saw the cat across the street that morning in the same area. Cosmo's owner went back out at 7:00 p.m, and was again calling into the sewer drains at the corners where there had been sightings. Nothing. She drove home and THERE ON THE FRONT STEPS WAS COSMO...over two weeks later. He is fine, a bit thinner, very hungry but purring away, so happy to be home. Ironically, I had lit a white candle about the same time the owner went out again tonight, it was a light for Cosmo to find his way home. And, he did! Thank you for all the prayers, I know they worked!
Prayers For My Son Answered
Marietta, South Carolina. On January 5 I asked for prayer for my son Eric. On the same day I began an exercise described in Emmet Fox's book "Alter Your Life". The exercise consisted on writing down and praying about three things that one wants to bring into one's life and three things that one wishes to remove. I included Eric in these prayers daily for 30 days. I prayed for guidance for him and success. Eric remained at university and attempted to get a job but eventually returned home. He hopes to return in the fall. Upon returning home he began to look for work. On the very day that my prayer request rolled off your web site and I completed my exercise, he was hired for the job he especially wanted at a very good wage. The change in his attitude toward himself was changed immediately.
Grandma Improved
Tali from Jamaica. I wrote asking for prayer for my family concerning my grandmother's deteriorating behavior. Well she has improved with the help of some medication & prayers. I wanted to express my heartfelt thank you for your help as I do believe that prayer changes things.
True Place
Matt & Steffy, IL. We asked for prayer at the beginning of last year. We were struggling financially, emotionally, in our marriage, and in our walk with God. We asked for prayer that God would show us our "true place" in life. The response we got was that we were already in our true place, we just needed to believe it. One year later. We are in our true place!!!!! All of our problems have dissolved away. The "problems" are still there, but they're no longer problems. Work is a joy, not a drag. We pray together instead of arguing or complaining. We no longer ask God to make us more important, but rather that God would be more important to us. We don't ask for a better place, but to be better in this place. We are content. We are grateful. We are thankful. We are happy. Everyday. Thank you for your prayers.
Surgery Cancelled
Ray, Texas. Good news to report. I wrote last week asking for prayer for my mom who was expecting surgery for heart valves to be replaced. She went into the hospital and the preliminary angiogram show that no valve replacements were needed. Surgery was cancelled and she is now on medication which is giving her the ability to get out and about. Thank you for your prayer help.
Challenge Met
Mellie, CA. I sent my
latest prayer request to you last week regarding an ongoing financial challenge.
We have just demonstrated what we need for this month and in addition to that
some promising things have already begun to occur for our new business. We are
so grateful to all of you for the prayer support! Many thanks and blessings,
Two Demonstrations
Mellie, CA. I submitted a prayer request last month concerning a very serious financial crisis. A family member and I were on the edge financially—both unemployed, unable to meet expenses, in danger of losing our home any day with nowhere else to go, etc. Then I had two demonstrations. Within two days after submitting my prayer request, I received enough money to almost get us through the month of January and then, in the middle of the month, our web business launched after our business partner had delayed it for nearly two years and was looking as if it might never happen.
Lost but found
Grateful Mom, USA. I don't know how it happened and I am still working with overcoming guilt, but I somehow lost sight of my little boy in a large department store recently. He was by my side, and when I focused on some clothing and looked up again, he was gone. I was so frightened and shaken I could hardly sustain myself. I began screaming his name, which I knew may not help since he has hearing issues. When the store manager knew what was happening, he closed all the store doors and called the police. The search went on for awhile and my son could not be found. With all that is going on in today's world, I thought he was kidnapped. I was shaking, then I stopped my negative thoughts and turned to God and thanked Him for the safety of my little boy. As I keep repeating "Thank you God, Thank you God," one of the police officers came running with my little guy in his arms. It was my Truth teachings and the teachings of Dr. Fox that brought me back to center in a crisis, it was these teachings that gave me the faith thank God in the middle of what appeared to be a hopeless situation. I thank God for this powerful demonstration.
Hearing Returned
Edna, USA. Hello. I want to let you know that my prayers were answered and the problem I was experiencing has reversed. I wrote to you almost in a state of panic when I lost the hearing in my right ear. I had many tests and saw two doctors. They could not give an exact reason for the problem and worst, they offered no real hope for a solution. I turned this over to God as you suggested and Golden Keyed. About a week ago, my hearing suddenly returned. The block I felt in my ear cleared and I have been hearing fine ever since. Thank you all for your prayers and for being there for me.
My Faith has Increased
Ron, Virginia. My heart is filled with gratitude to God and to this prayer ministry. My new marriage was in stress and I was trying to pass an important examination for my career and it seemed as though the pressure was more than I could handle. I could not focused on my studies and my wife felt that I was not spending any time with her. As I worked with the prayer affirmations I received, I began to change my thoughts. I was not caught up in the stress and drama of life. I was able to let go and let God. I passed the examination and have been able to work things out with my wife. I actually began to meditate which I had not done before. Your prayers have meant much to me, and it is difficult to express the way I feel. I know that my faith has increased through this demonstration. Thank you so much.
Perfect Answer to Prayer
P.F. Illinois, I want to tell you about my perfect answer to prayer. I have written you several times in the last year asking for prayers for a good job. It was difficult not to be discouraged since I was un-employed for a long time. I continued with affirmations, I kept up with prayer knowing that a group of people that I don't even know was praying along with me, helping me to fill a basic need in my life. Last week I received a call for a good job with a good starting salary, and perfect hours for me. I cannot thank God enough for taking such good care of me. I am grateful to this ministry for all that you do and for being there when I really needed someone.
No Sign Of Cancer
Barbara. New York. On
12/27 I requested a successful outcome for my thyroid surgery, as well as peace
of mind and freedom from anxiety and panic. I am thrilled to report that my
1/3/08 thyroid surgery could not have gone better and there was NO sign of
cancer in the pathology report, as was previously suspected. Due to having my
thyroid removed, I no longer suffer from hyperthyroidism; and, therefore, I have
lost the severe anxiety and panic attacks that were part of that affliction. I
am now enjoying a peace of mind that I have not experienced in years. Thank you,
thank you, thank you one and all for your prayers; may God bless you all
abundantly. I feel as though I have been reborn!
First Demonstration
Mellie in CA. I requested prayer support two days ago for myself and a close family member, regarding a very serious financial crisis. I am delighted to report my first demonstration so quickly. A friend called today to say that he is sending me a significant part of a sizable sum that has been owed me for quite sometime. This amount is enough to meet my needs for January and, as I continue to leave the ways and means to God, I have renewed faith that more demonstrations are on the way. Many thanks for your website and to all those praying—and please keep it up! As I move higher in consciousness, I look forward to reporting many more wonderful demonstrations! Abundant blessings in the New Year
Thank you for prayers
Rachel, Texas. The prayers for my son were of much help. He is now about to graduate from college and has been working with an Ophthalmologist for approx. two years. He is still a work in progress but has come a long way. Thank you and the prayer partners.
Public official Position
Christina, Michigan, USA
. As a devout student of metaphysics and studying the teachings of Dr. Fox for over 15 years, I have had numerous demonstrations for myself and my loved ones through the years - demonstrations for health, finances, happiness, etc Great and wonderful demonstrations !!!!!! I have never found myself reaching out to others - except for my own personal prayers. However, a couple of months ago I found myself, for the first time, reaching out to this site for help in obtaining a new job for my husband and myself. Well, a week after contacting you, I was approached by an old acquaintance who suggested that a certain public official in our community was resigning from his post and that I should apply for the position. I was truly honored that he thought so highly of me, however, I told him that I was not interested in the position. As I was walking away from my conversation with this gentleman, I heard a voice in my head with an overwhelming appeal telling me to apply for the position. I applied for the position, as well as, 30 other applicants. After a couple of interviews, I was offered the position and I must say that I am thrilled with joy!!!! It is truly a wonderful opportunity for me to better serve my community. I was sworn into office 2 weeks ago and I will have to seek election for this position in November 2008. Also, my husband has been approached by his current employer and they are interested in promoting him to Executive Director. With a sincere heart, I want to thank you for helping me to remain confident and strong in the truth. PEACE.Closer To God
Judy in Texas. Thank you for your help. . Things are so much better that I can hardly believe it. So I am holding my breathe and holding to positive prayers until after the holidays, I know your prayers have helped I feel closer to God. So many beautiful demonstrations in my family relationships today. I will write again after the holidays. Please don't stop praying yet ! ( smile ) Thank you again Merry Christmas
I claimed My Freedom
Phyllis, North Carolina. When I wrote for prayer, I began reading the book "The Science of Living," I started to apply Dr. Fox's direction for Daily Treatment on page 71 which says, " I am Divine Spirit. I have dominion." That statement of having dominion gave me a deep wake up call. In my entire life, I never felt powerful, I never felt in total control of situations. When I was told by a doctor that I was facing a serious medical problem, I tried to keep my focus on "I have dominion." I began treating and using affirmations and I applied Dr. Fox's thoughts - "I am not my body, I am not my feelings, I am Divine Spirit." This was very powerful for me. I claimed my freedom. When I received the results of the MRI, it was confirmed, that I was well. I was not facing a medical crisis, the tests were all negative. Thank you for your prayers, for re-producing this important book and for this website. I am on a new path of thinking and living.
Hearing Improved
Gail, Ohio. When I suddenly became unable to hear normally, I contact you for prayer help. My spirits were at a very low ebb. I had scarcely finished reading your reply, when the depression seemed to lift. The following day I heard a little better, not as good as I should, but there was improvement. I repeated the affirmation you gave me many times during the day, and I kept feeling better. Today my hearing is normal. I can hear clearly and I do not feel discouraged or depressed. I am sending a tithe to say thank you for your help and for being there when I needed someone.
New level of belief
M, New York. I came across the teachings of Joseph Murphy and I finally understood the truth about God. I also learned that he had been inspired by Emmet Fox, so I started ordering the CDs and booklets from your site. After I listened to your CD on the Lord’s prayer, I felt that a profound healing had taken place and that I had a new level of belief and understanding about God. Thank you so much.
Life Changing Decision
Fabio, USA. I have done a few things in my life that I am not proud of. When I wrote for prayer last year I was facing heavy charges for drug possession. I found your web site on the net and I thought I really need prayers. I did not have a stable childhood and little or no religion in my home. I had no job, no direction in my life and no interest in thinking about the future. A statement in your reply to me awakened something within me. You said, "we must build within us an attitude of unwavering certainty of good, that this is an attitude of perfect faith." I believe deep down, I was looking for faith. I was looking for good. Faith in anything. Your e-mail made me think about my life and sent me on a search for self. By the way, my prayers were answered. The charges were reduced and the little time I had to spend in prison gave me a chance to read, think about my life, and discover my self . I have read through the Sermon on the Mount and The Science of Living and The Power Through Constructive Thinking, with much interest. I took the concept of looking for good, along with the attitude that I am unmoved by negative things around me and undesirable experiences, and made the decision to change my life. After serving time, I immediately began a college program and got a job. For the first time in my life I feel good about myself and I am thinking about my future. All this taking place within me because I sent off an e-mail asking for prayer. Thank you all for your prayers, for your words of wisdom, and for your faith in me. I believe that I am going to make it in this world, that is my demonstration.
My Insurance is in God
Rev. Melinda, New York. When I got sick with cancer I feared I would die and leave my youngest son orphaned, repeating my mother's life: (My mother died in a car accident 5 years after my father died in a car accident. I was 15). My husband and I divorced and he immediately remarried and died three weeks later of liver disease. When I got cancer, my youngest son was the same age I was when my mother died. I had incredible faith that there was a divine order to it all, but I was scared. I used to lie down In my bed, close my eyes and bask in the Light of the divine presence as a way to heal myself. I did not know of Emmet Fox then, but when I was introduced to him I totally understood why I was where I was and what I had to do to heal. The trauma I carried stretched all the way back to my grandparents who lost their family in the holocaust and my maternal grandmother who died at a young age of cancer. I got called to ministry because of my faith and set up a healing center, two years later I lost my money, my job, my marriage, my house, and finally my health. Needless to say, I finally hit the edge of my faith. When I asked for help what I heard was "You don't know the rest of the story." Now seven years later, I have a new house, a new job, a new partner and I am working on my health which is better than it's been for a long time. Sometimes I think I had all of that happen to me so that I could prove to myself that my insurance was not in my money, my house, my relationships, my job or my health… my insurance is in God. Having set up a healing center and then going bankrupt because of a ministerial funding program going under, I learned that I was the healing center and I did not need money to heal. All things are assisting me to move my consciousness to a higher level so I can graduate earth. When I was sick I thought, I cannot leave this earth until I do it right. I didn't even know what "right" meant, but having met up with Dr Fox and Malinda Kramer, I leaned that I needed to heal my consciousness in order to "do the earth right." I learned I needed to set my inner world in order with the practice of the presence of God.God Sent Me My Aunt
Cathy, Pennsylvania. When my mom passed away, the question of the house became a major issue with my brother. I was mom's caregiver and lived in a small apartment in the house. My brother wanted the house sold immediately, he wanted his money from the property. I told him that I needed time to find a job after two years of not working and taking care of our mother, who could not be alone and also I needed to find somewhere to live. He turned a deaf ear and wanted the house sold, telling me to go live with a friend. If I had the funds, I would have bought his share of the property. I didn't. When he got a lawyer involved and called in a real estate agent, I sent you an e-mail for prayer. I could not believe my brothers actions. I was upset, frightened and I did not know where to turn. I had no one to turn to but God. I prayed very hard thanking God for a positive end to this turmoil. After about two months, I received a letter from my mothers sister in Florida. My mom and her sister had not spoken in years and naturally we had lost personal contact. I was surprised when her letter arrived. She heard about mom's death and wanted to visit. She was the answer to the prayers I asked for. She came, stepped in and spoke with my brother in my behalf and obtained a lawyer for me. The lawyer tied the property up for a year. It will not have to be sold until next year, giving me the time I need physically and emotionally. My long lost aunt invited me to live in Florida. Which I plan to do. God sent my aunt when I needed someone. So, my prayers have been answered. Thank you.
Golden Key Connection
Jay, New York. When I tried to contact my long time family attorney and discovered that the phone was disconnected, I became very concerned. I called an alternate office only to find that number was also disconnected, the same applied to a cell number I had. I went to his office and was told by someone in the building that his office was closed down after a recent and very serious car accident. I could not believe my ears and was filled with sadness. I tried for weeks to make some sort of contact, and could not seem to locate him. I felt helpless. I applied the Golden Key and affirmed that somehow, some way I would be able to make a connection. Not only was I concerned about him as a friend, but we were in the midst of a legal case. I left this in God's hands, knowing a connection would be achieved. That very day I Golden Keyed, I was doing some errands, and while I was parked on a main street, I looked up and there was a member of my attorney's family crossing the street in front of me. She shared the situation, we exchanged phone numbers and the connection was made. I realize with faith, there is always an answer to our every need.
Positive Report
Rev. Michael. I want to thank you for posting my prayer request for my daughter Leslie and I want to thank everyone who kept my daughter in prayer. All of her tests came up negative! As there is a long history of malignancy on her mothers' side....well let us just say that there is no sickness that enough love cannot cure! Peace and blessings to all this wonderful day
Steady Recovery

Tony Carrion. I just wanted to thank you again for all the prayers for my niece Isa, and to give you a progress report. She is currently in a rehabilitation hospital, where she will remain for a time, but her recovery has been steady, to a certain extent even amazing, considering her condition following the accident, when there was doubt she would even live. She couldn't even move her limbs before due to spinal damage, and as you can see in the little pix I sent, she's now able to send out text messages. She's also able to spend some time out of the wheelchair with assistance. I've no doubt that God's love and the power of prayer have brought this about. Bless you and all who have prayed for her recovery. Regards.
New Baby
Moira
. Hello everyone, I asked for prayers regarding adopting a healthy baby and we have been matched with a birth mother who is due in early February. Thanks so much to all of you who prayed for this situation. I am so grateful and so excited. I am asking for your continued prayer for the birthmother and our little girl that she is carrying! Please pray for the perfect outcome!! It is just so inspiring to see how much power there is in prayer. Thank you all so very much.
I feel the presence of God
A. M. Pennsylvania. Thank you so much for your prayers and wonderful letter. They have done wonders for me, and I cannot begin to tell you how much better I feel mentally and physically. What a wonderful thing prayer is. My prayers have been answered and my life has changed from sadness and worry to a wonderful love of greeting each and every new day. I can feel the presence of God with me. Thank you for being there in my time of need.
Unexpected Check Arrived
Nick, Indiana. I am writing about an unexpected check that came last week. For some time I have been worrying about where to get money to pay a tax that I owe. I could not get another extension and I am just returning to work from an accident. I began to lose sleep over this, so I wrote a letter asking you all for prayer. Well, those prayers were answered. In the mail came this check from a former employer, that should have been sent to me over a year ago. I could hardly believe my eyes when I opened the letter. It was more than enough to cover my taxes. It was an accumulation of money that was in my retirement fund. There is no question that this check came as the result of unified prayers being said for me. I send you all my sincere thanks for your help and your kindness.
Re-united by prayer
Jordan, UK. I requested prayer after my husband walked out on our marriage. I heard about the Golden Key, so I ordered a copy on line. I clung to it and I began, for the first time in my life using affirmations for divine order in my marriage. One day my husband stopped by to pick up mail and he picked up the Golden Key I had on the kitchen table, he glanced through it. I told him to take it with him. Two months later, my husband came by to talk and said he was sorry for walking out on me. We began seeing a counselor, which has been a great help. Many of my husbands fears were brought out in the open. He told me that he began to practice the Golden Key from the day he took the booklet home with him. We have been reading The Sermon on the Mount together and things have been really good. I want to thank everyone for the prayers and thank God for all the good in our lives.
Gambling Overcome
George, West Virginia. I was first introduced to Emmet Fox many years ago when I was in personal crisis. Through the years his writings have always brought me faith and courage. My blessings are abundant. When I wrote regarding my daughter, your response touched my heart. She has always been such a fine girl, but over the past year I noticed a change. She began on-line gambling and was going into deep credit card debt. Nothing I said seemed to change her heart. Then I asked for prayers. This prayer ministry Golden Keyed with me. Suddenly I had a strong feeling to get her a copy of the Sermon on the Mount audio set, she loves audio books. She played these over and over. One morning she said to me, dad I know I am on the wrong path, I have to make changes. This she did. She stopped all gambling a number of months ago and took a second job to pay off her credit cards. She has made great strides. I am truly thankful. God is good!
Emotional Healing
Marina, West Indies. I find it inadequate to express the way I feel. I am very grateful for your prompt reply to my request for prayer. The terrible misunderstanding I first wrote about has been healed. My fear over the loss of two people who mean the world to me is gone. There is peace and healing in a situation that was emotionally explosive. I placed the situation in God's hands and gave thanks with victorious results.
Wonderful answer to Prayer
Catherine, Iowa. I have been very blessed through your prayers. You may recall I asked for a post on the prayer page for my finances. I needed money to pay a large outstanding bill with penalties. Soon after I contacted you I received a letter from my sister, who owed me money for several years. She sent me a check with a letter promising to pay the balance in another month. I had not heard from my sister in over two years. What a wonderful answer to prayer. By the way, we resolved our differences too. Thank you everyone who prayed.
I Passed The Test
Annette, Illinois. About a month ago I asked for prayers that I might pass a difficult examination. I had to take this test to keep my present job. Most people in my work field had a difficult time with it since there are no books to study. I golden Keyed and you all prayed. I want you to know that I passed the test, even finishing before the allowed time. I am grateful to God. Prayer is very powerful and it certainly got me through this test.
Daily Blessings
D. New York. was reading the wonderful testimonies of prayer answered and I am overwhelmed by all your experiences of the Greatness of The Almighty; His infinite Love and Compassion for us… All that we have to do is to turn to Him and He will do the rest. Our very dear Doctor Fox has shown us the way and may God bless him ALWAYS. I know that infinite blessings come in my life everyday and always will in the Name of God but feeling His Divine Presence is worth ALL the blessings in the Universe. Thank you for these beautiful testimonies that are indeed a sign of gratefulness.
Perfect Job
Fred, New York. I want to say thank you all for all your prayers and for your help. I was hired at a job against all seemingly human odds. My certificate at birth reads 74, and I have been turned down many times because of my age. I wanted a job to keep active not specifically for money. This new job fits my schedule perfectly and I will be working around people. My greatest thanks for this answered prayer, for the teachings of Dr. Fox. God never fails me. He has been such a blessing in my life.
Marriage Partner
Abubakar Aliyu, Nigeria. This is a testimony to an answered prayer. I am 46 years old believing in God for a life partner and I made a prayer request in one of my correspondences to you last year to this effect. By God's special grace, He has connected me to a wonderful, God -loving lady to whom I will be getting married on the 24th of November, 2007. Still pray with me that God should make it a smooth, hitch-free event for us to the Glory of God. God bless your home.
Prayer Request Answered
Marisela, Tlaltenango, Xac, Mexico. Hi! Miracles happen! Everything went well in my home town. God sent peace to all of us. Thank you for all your prayers. All the prayers really worked. I pray daily for all of you too. Lets pray together.
In Giving We Receive
Isabell. I planned a spiritual pilgrimage to India with Unity. On December 1st I put my $400.00 deposit in. But how was I going to pay the rest? $4,295, due on June 7th. Sometime in April , I was talking to one of my sister's and she said she wanted to give me a trip for my 62nd birthday - and with a catch in my throat - I said, "but El, my birthday is not until October 17th." And she said yes, I know. Then I got up my courage and said, "well it just so happens that I put a deposit on this trip to India." And she has paid the rest of the trip for me!!! So, this is my grand demonstration of the goodness of God and the power of thought and the return on tithes - and everything!!!
Affirmations manifest Supply
Gunilla, Sweden. The ground water levels are extremely high this year, so water is being pressed up through the basement floor, really quite awesome, actually. We are going to have to do a major drainage work around the basement. We live in a two-family house, dad has half the house and my sister and brother and I own the other half. I live in our half and they only come down in summer. “Can’t afford to have the drainage done”, said dad age 86. I began to make positive affirmations. Last night I found approx. USD 10.000 (100.000 Swedish crowns) on my account. That will exactly cover the cost of the drainage work. An old very wealthy relative in Geneva age 77, who had no idea of this drainage work to be done, had decided to just give me that sum of money, because I helped her daughter 25 years ago when she was depressed and because she admired that my daughter and I took care of my mother at home when she had cancer before she passed to the other side. She never had to be in a hospital for one second. I am just so grateful to my creator God that I am totally speechless and don’t know what to say. Well, I will never ever doubt for a second that prayer and affirmations do work, because God is ever present and always answering them.
Love Realized
Nancyellen, Connecticut
. Hello, I wrote to you before about many things, including wanting love and closeness with a boyfriend. I mentally let go of my need for him to love me, I affirmed God had a wonderful man for me and I was loveable and beautiful. I stopped worrying and pushing and tried to bask in the love of God and dreamed about what he wanted for me. I did not put my boyfriend's name or face in the dream just what God wanted. Well my boyfriend is now saying "I love you" and he is extremely affectionate and attentive. I am amazed. Is he the husband for me? I don't know, but God has a wonderful mate for me and for my boyfriend and I am praying for God's divine plan for both of us, whether or not we end up married. This is more answered prayers.Kitty Cat Well
Lorrie,
California.
Thank you so kindly for praying for my Bella. Her Dr. called me with the test
results a little while ago and she tested NEGATIVE for all the kiddy dis-eases.
This is very good news! Her liver and kidney enzymes and thyroid and urine all
tested A OK. Her white blood cell count, which has dropped all the way down to
924 last Saturday (2500 should be the minimum) has shot all the way up to 1400
today! The Dr. tested her blood sample after you all began praying for her this
morning. What a wonderful miracle indeed. I appreciate the fact that you will
pray for her for one month. I really do believe she is healthy and well and I
thank you so kindly for your prayers, your friendship and support. God Bless you
and Reverend JoAnn and all the fine people in your Prayer Ministry. Thank you
for letting your lights shine and reminding me to do the same. Blessing always,
Anemia Overcome
Marah, UK. Hello. I wanted to write this note to thank everyone who prayed with me. I was working on overcoming anemia with little results until I asked for prayer help. This problem prevented me from working and being the wife and mom I wanted to be. I was always tired and the medics could not understand why my count was dropping so low. There was a point when my blood count was only ten. I affirmed divine energy and worked with denials and affirmations. My count is back to normal and it is three and a half months now that I have been out-of the-woods as they say. I am back to a normal life feeling quite good. I am grateful to our Universal Father for my life of good health and for this teaching. Blessings to all from the UK.
New Job Started
Bruce, New Jersey. Hi: I am very glad to tell you that after being unemployed most of the past year, I will again be receiving regular income from my new job. After one week, everything is going well and I am satisfied to be at this fine company with good working conditions. And, at the same salary as my last position. My gratitude that you listened and responded to my request for prayer when it appeared job prospects were minimal. And, for the inspiration of your response as well as the encouraging testimonials on the website. I thank you, I thank Emmet Fox and all spiritual teachers, I thank the Infinite Divine Power. Blessings to you.
Psoriasis Gone
Brenda, Washington DC. Hello. My initial request for prayer was about a year ago. I had been suffering for many years with the appearance of psoriasis to the point that it was becoming difficult for me to work. I was always self-conscious about my skin and my work took me in front of the public. When my doctor told me that the condition was not curable, I felt as though the life force had been pulled out of me. Then I read Emmet Fox's words that the key to healing is love. His words touched a special cord with me. I worked for an hour or more everyday in the silence. I focused on Love, always remembering "love is the fulfilling of the law." I sent thoughts of love to those I once believed had hurt me emotionally and I affirmed love for myself. It was not quite a month after, when I noticed that my skin looked better. Shortly after that I found that psoriasis no longer existed. The disease was wiped out in mind and it has never returned and never will. The outcome of my working within and the prayers that have been sent up in my behalf is remarkable. Thank you God, thank you all.
Reunited by Prayer
Cindy, New York. After mom passed over, my sisters and I said things to each other that was very hurtful and negative. Things from the past that needed to be released. When no one was speaking to each other, and everyone was very upset, I contacted this web site for prayer, asking for peace and family harmony. I was angry also, and I missed my sisters and needed to feel part of my family, especially at this time. Prayer is a powerful tool. Just recently my older sister called each of us to apologize for the things she said. We are all flying next week to a central location to re-unite and to affirm our love for each other and to release all the events of the past. Thank you for the prayer support, it meant the world to me. Sending love and blessings to everyone reading this.
A lot to be thankful for
Ken, Colorado. We all have a lot to be thankful for at all times. Dedication to being thankful and giving thanks is the way to achieve healing of all situations. I am deeply grateful for the Truth teachings which has become the foundation of my life. In my darkest hour, I gave thanks to God, the Source of all good. This I learned from the writings of Dr. Fox. As I recently came through a difficult time with no job, mounting credit card debt and what appeared to be limited finances in my world, I focused on being thankful. I was thankful that I still had a roof over my head, a strong body and hands for work and the ability to think, reason and act. I was thankful that I still had a car that ran and the love of a friend who cooked and shared food with me during this time. As I gave thanks throughout the day I was filled with a sense of love and peace. I wasn't surprised when a recruiter I had a contact with about three years ago, called me regarding a position, after all with God all of our needs are met. Now I want to say, thank you God, for my new job and for the realization that we have so much in life to be thankful for.
Two prayers Answered
Gabriel C, Brighton, MA. Some months ago I asked first for an internship in investment banking in a top bank. I got an internship in investment banking in a small company, but as it was part time that allowed me to accept A position as teaching assistant at Harvard University. After that I asked for the perfect apartment for me, and I got an awesome apartment in Boston for rent that I can pay. So I am very happy. I want to thank God, thank you and thank all the prayers. Thanks.
Answered prayer in the letter box
Uwe, Germany
. Thank you for your prayer, it works !! I tell you the story. ( you must excuse that my English is not so good, but I think you understand me.) First, my wife and me were searching on the internet for jobs, asking friends, looking in newspaper, but nothing was found. Some days later there was in my letter box a newspaper for seniors. I thought to myself : what shall I do with that newspaper, I am not a senior and threw it in the waste-paper basket. In the evening suddenly I got the idea, that this was not an accident, that we got this newspaper! Then I read through it and saw that they had built in a neighborhood town an old peoples house and they are searching for geriatric nurses !!! I don't know who gave us that newspaper - prayer works !! Thank you so much for your help !!!Out of Intensive Care
Tony C. I just wanted to thank you and all those who have prayed for our young niece Isa. Through all the love and prayer that have been sent, she has made significant improvement. She was literally comatose for weeks, and on the crossroads between this life and the next. Her doctors had doubts that she would pull through. Thanks to God's healing power, she is out of intensive care and in a rehabilitation center. She still has a long road ahead, but she is alert and able to now communicate with an alphabet board. She's also regained some of the movement she'd lost initially from her spine being injured. I've no doubt that the prayers of support have had a hand in her progress. Our blessings and thanks to all who continue to pray for her recovery.
Positive Court Decision
Sharon, Ohio. Thanks be to God! Prayers were answered!! We asked for a little boy to be ours for adoption on July 10. The court procedure was to take 2 days for the Judge to make a decision; however, the mother came in & signed off on all parental rights, a court proceeding didn’t even have to take place! All the Glory to God and thanks for all prayers! I love God!!!Medical Bills Paid
Joe, New York.
Last spring I was diagnosed with a disease that effects my muscles. I lost my
job because I could not perform my duties. I had a huge pile of medical bills to
pay and I had no income. I could not seem to get disability. There was always
more papers to fill out and more doctors to see. I asked for prayer and I
treated for an exit out of this mess. I focused on God instead of the blocks I
was experiencing. You might say that I Golden Keyed the situation. This month I
was finally accepted for Social Security disability income. Today I received a
letter that most of of my medical bills will be taken care of. Thank you God! I
am actually feeling physically stronger and I know that I will beat the illness.
I have been placing my focus on God and not the issues of my health. Thank you
all for your prayers.
New Position
Maria. Australia.. I would like to thank you very much for your prayers for my husbands job. He had to fly this morning to another state for a final interview, as the CEO of the company was there. He just called me from the airport waiting for the flight to come back home. He got the position. He will start on Monday. Love and Blessings
Thank you Father
Paulette, France. Thank you God for answered prayers. My husband was told that his senior executive position would be ending. He was very concerned since such a position would be difficult to obtain in the job market. He did not know what he was going to do, or what direction to take, and was even considering early retiring. We realized that we would not be able to exist without a regular income. I released the fear and doubt in my mind and visualized myself handing the situation to God. Every day in prayer, I gave thanks for the new position, even though there was no physical appearance of one. "Thank you Father, Thank you Father," was my prayer. After a short while, my husband received a telephone call from an old friend he had not heard from in three or more years. When my husband told him of his job loss, he immediately offered him a position at his company. He is making more money now and has a good job with a fine company. Thank you Father!
Remarkable Turn Around
Jan, USA.
Hello good people. I don't think there is any love stronger than love between a
mother and child. My husband and I prayed for almost four years for our son
Ryan, and his arrival into the world, for us was a miracle. Ryan is seven now
and when my family wrote to this prayer ministry for prayers, it was because
Ryan had a serious injury while playing soccer. At the hospital we were told
that he needed immediate brain surgery. We were very heavy hearted and
frightened. We prayed affirmative prayers and golden keyed the success of the
surgery and his recovery. I stayed at his bedside reading an old copy of the
Sermon on the Mount with the
picture of Dr. Fox on the bottom left corner. He was very still with
little or no movement for a long time. Then suddenly he began to rally. When
Ryan was first sitting up, he asked "Mommy what are you reading,? and when I
told him The Sermon on the Mount, he replied, who is that man? Referring to the
cover. I told him that was a wise teacher named Dr. Emmet Fox. His answer to me
was, "I know that doctor mommy, he was here last night and smiled at me." Chills
ran through my body. This is so unlike Ryan to say something like this. I
did not even question it. That afternoon when we had a conference with the doctors,
we were told that Ryan made a remarkable turn around with the swelling in his
head. They remarked how there was no brain swelling, immediately after the
surgery - which is unusual. We were told that he "beat all odds" and would be fine. He was released
the following day and is back to being a healthy, happy little boy. Something
wonderful happened which we cannot explain, nor do we want to. The wonderful
thing that happened is that my little boy became whole again. I have been an Emmet Fox devotee for many years. I feel such a strong and wonderful spiritual
connection with him as I look at my son. I want to say, thank you God for Emmet
Fox, for his teachings, for this prayer group for touching our lives and for
being a God of unconditional Love.
Great Job
Marge. I asked for prayers for myself a couple of years ago on the prayer page--for a job. Being hired seemed extremely unlikely, as there was NO ACTUAL JOB to apply for in the department--just the possibility of one in the future, and I'd been out of the field for several years, and there were many people with my skills AND with recent experience who were looking for work in that field, etc. etc. -- but I WAS hired, a year and a half ago. I wasn't interviewed, I didn't submit a resume. I didn't have to take the technical test that all programming applicants have to take. And they STILL had no job (they hired me under someone else's contract--who later left)... and it's a great job, with great pay that I love!! I'm even being trained, and being given experience which will allow me to switch from an area of IT with no jobs to an area with many jobs. My whole life has turned around!! That sounds really dramatic but it's true. Thanks so much for your help!Poison Ivy Gone
Nancyellen, Connecticut.
A small prayer answered. This is a little silly but I think it is an answer to a
prayer. I was doing some yard work in the evening. I was careful to avoid poison
ivy or so I thought. I came in the house and washed my hands and went to bed. I
woke up in the middle of the night with my hands itching terribly, I dread the
poison ivy because I cant help scratching and my skin is so tender. It usually
lasts for weeks and sometimes even bleeds. I went into the bathroom thinking
"maybe if I scrub my skin again, it will be okay." Then I remembered I started
the Golden Key stuff and I decided right then and there to pray about it and
affirm "God will take care of this". I scrubbed my hands and wrists and they
calmed down a little. I was able to go back to sleep. The next morning they felt
a little tender but I was able to keep from scratching. A day later I still have
no itching. Thanks GOD!! :)
Answered Pray Overnight
Adrienne, IL
. I sent a prayer request yesterday for peace for a friend whose son has Autism. Later last night, she sent me an e-mail with excellent news about an assistant teacher who will help her with babysitting this summer. The asst. showed such compassion that my friend cried. Thank you, God, for the people who run this site and who stop by to pray.Reconciliation
Pat, Canada. I've been posting prayer requests, for my reconciliation with my husband. We hadn't spoken nor seen each other for almost 3 months. I worked with the 7 Day Mental Diet and made some changes within my myself, and my husband, to my surprise, called me to say that he was sorry and wanted to work things out. We are together one month now experiencing more harmony than we have ever experienced in our marriage. I continue to work with the concept of the 7 Day diet. Thanks for your prayers, they are indeed very powerful.
Divine order documents
Jolanta, Poland. I am writing to tell you all that my prayers have been answered. My father had become very ill and was in America. I needed to make the journey to take care of him and I had much difficulty with my papers. I was told I had to wait for up to three months. I tried everything I could do on the physical level and could not cut through the "red tape" as it were to travel to my father. I wrote and asked for prayer and I mentally handed this situation over to God who knows the love between father and children. I accepted nothing but excellent health for my father. The way opened up for my papers in a very short time, which never happens in government here and my father began showing improved health. I came to America to take care of my father and traveled with no document problems. This is a blessing and I know a higher power is always available to us in all situations. Thank you for praying for me and my father.
The Power of Affirmations
Reece, Wales. It is gratifying for me to write to you, that after eight months of daily affirmations and denials, the ulcer I had been suffering with responded satisfactorily to treatment- prayer work. When I first wrote for prayer, I was in a great deal of pain and could not continue working at my job. My medic suggested surgery. My life seemed on hold. I am free now from all symptoms and have returned to teaching a few months ago. I also want to let you know that my recent medical exam showed that the ulcer decreased in size significantly, and no surgery is needed. I have been working with the affirmations and denials in the book "Emmet Fox's Keys To Life and Health," especially the treatment on pain. Affirmations and denials are very effective. I am so happy I found this teaching. I thank God for my good health. I plan to continue making affirmations a part of my everyday life.
No Lymphoma
Sharlene. "I want to share the WONDERFUL news - I do not have lymphoma or cancer from my lachrymal gland biopsy - it only showed some type of chronic inflammation - which the ophthalmologist said would need to be taken up with the rheumatologist at my Wed appt - he will remove the stitches on Tuesday - the puffiness is less but it's still huge - the good thing is I can now see more with my eye today - so hopefully each day there will be improvement - Thank you for your prayers - I know they help!" God bless,
Divine Awakening
Dean, Australia. Just a line to say what inspiration and hope I have received from these posts of answered prayers. As I went down the line and read every one, I felt truly touched. As though the hand of God was shaking me saying, "you know what you need to do to get your life back where it should be." Some of these posts even moved me to tears. These wonderful messages inspired me to take a good look at my life, and to realize how blessed I am. I know that I must change my thoughts to change my life. I just started re-reading the books by Emmet Fox. Now I am reading them with my heart and soul. It is as though I had been sleeping and now I am awake. This has been a divine awakening. This to me is a demonstration. Thank you!
Apartment Rented
M. New York. This may sound insignificant compared to some of the other answered prayers posted here, but I did want to give thanks for the answer to my prayer request. I just could not seem to rent my apartment. I had a number of real estate agents showing it and still no one was interested. It is a nice apartment and I could not understand why it was not renting. I lowered the rent and still no one was interested. I had it re-painted and put new rugs, still no tenant. I wrote for prayer and I began letting the fear of no tenant go. I just lost my job, funds have been low and I just had to have this rented. One week after I contact you all for prayer, the apartment rented to wonderful people. Thank you God for answered prayer and thank you all for your help.
Family United
Eva. I am an 83 year-old grandmother and have read and studied Emmet Fox for most of my wonderful life. I raised one of my granddaughters as best I could, and one day she took off with a boy friend and I had not heard from her in a number of years. Every day I thanked God for her safety, her life and her return, knowing with all my heart that she would one day return home again. I asked for your prayer assistance since I wanted to see her again, before I make my transition into another level of life. This prayer has been answered, and we are a united happy family again. Positive prayer is powerful. I am thankful for this teaching which is so much a part of me and I am very thankful for this ministry. God bless everyone here.
A New Realization
Diana. I found myself in dire straights, financially, and emotionally when a relationship ended. I was living in a strange city and had no where to turn. I was living in a motel and my money was running out. I even thought about suicide. I prayed for direction. A lady I met going to a coffee shop every morning told me to read The Sermon on the Mount. I found it in a local used book store and I could not put the book down. This book spoke to me, it gave me hope and realization about who I really am. It was the words of Dr. Fox that gave me the confidence to take a job. My first step in moving forward. I was in hell and then saw the light of heaven, and I am for the first time feeling good about myself and my life. What a remarkable man. I just found your web site and had to write. I have changed my thoughts about myself and my life. I have a good job now, my own apartment, a good man in my life, but most of all God in my life and a new realization of just how great life really is. Thank you.
Pain Gone
Wayne, California.
Thank you God for answered prayers. I have been delivered from three years of
suffering. Neither doctors or drugs were able to lesson the pain I had after an
accident. I began to practice thinking about God instead of the pain and I
noticed the pain began to get less and less. It is three months now that I am
pain free and I am still praying in this Golden Key form. I feel truly blessed,
thank you all for you prayer support.
Fast Answer To Prayer
Roseanne M. I no sooner ask my prayer request and my prayer was answered Prayers really work fast I was answered before I was posted Thank you all, I have been made whole again
Blessed Parents
Mr. & Mrs. M. USA. It has been a very emotional three years for us trying to have a child and then going through much red tape to adopt a baby from an Asian country. The country we settled on had a few issues with us; our age (a few years over the age limit for that country) my husbands weight (twenty pounds overweight) and the fact that his work takes him to many cities. It seemed an impossible task. With my sisters having pregnancy's every year, I began to feel depressed. I did not want to give up but all we hit were road blocks. Our social worker told us to give up on that country and go a different route. I wrote a letter to you and you sent me the Golden Key booklet. I felt an overwhelming sense of peace receiving it. We worked with the Golden Key and became very interested in the teachings of Emmet Fox. Our prayers have been answered. We received word from that original country that our baby is waiting for us. This is our miracle. We will be traveling soon. We are so filled with joy I can hardly write this to you. Thank you God for such a blessings and thank you all.
Divine Order Job
Hanna. Good day, I would like to thank you and the community for all your prayers. One of the two prayer requests have manifested. Only after a little over a month, the divine order job manifested. Last Friday, May 18, I received a job offer I have been praying for and have accepted the job offer today. Again, I am expressing my sincere gratitude for all your prayers and there is no doubt that soon, very soon, my other prayer request (for a perfect mate) will be given. Sincerely.
No Auto Immune Disease
Alan. I believe the teachings of Emmet Fox gave me a huge wake up call and saved my life. I recently had a blood test done for what my doctor suspected might be auto-immune disease. After using denials and affirmations I felt a change within me. I have been reading every thing written by Dr. Fox that I can. My latest tests show no signs of AID, the results came back negative. I am very blessed, Thank you God.
Job Manifested
George, Arizona.
My Wife and I were out of work for awhile and about to lose everything. We
started praying and practicing Dr. Fox's Golden Key every day. We gave thanks
for the right job using scientific prayer and a full time Job for me came along.
Now things are going good. Thank you God.
Prayers Moved The City of New York
Virginia, New York. One month ago I wrote to you all asking for prayer for a very negative housing situation. I was dealing with New York City bureaucracy and lots of red tape. I needed a reply with an inspection from the city within 2 weeks. An impossible situation I was told. Since inspections take up to three months. I had no where to turn but to God. Everyone prayed for me and I not only got a notice that an inspection would be made within the two weeks, but I was able to move in. Miracle of miracles. Prayer moved the city bureaucracy in lightning time. I am very grateful and very blessed. Thank you all!
Victory in a hopeless situation
P. Family USA. It was one of those situations which by all outward evidence seemed hopeless. An interstate legal matter that was being considered which was very complicated and could have been very costly. We wrote for prayer asking that the person causing all of the difficulty would soften her heart, see the truth and return something that did not legally or morally belong to her. It is almost two years of prayer support and placing this in God's hands and then finally letting go that the answer came. An answer in our estimation that is a clear miracle. Only a few days ago our hopeless situation turned into a victory with no action except prayer action. Thank you for your prayer support.
Pain Vanished
Warren, Canada. Hello, please post this on your website. Thank you! I would like to acknowledge and thank Universal Spirit for enabling me to see beyond the problem to the Truth. I was experiencing serious back pain and was feeling hopeless. I fell from a ladder at work and was having a difficult time walking and sitting. I focused on God, as is stated in the Golden Key, and noticed I had a marked improvement. The pain and stiffness vanished. It is about one month and I have been sitting pain free, and my lower back is better. The doctor said there is no sign of what he thought could have been a major problem and I was told I did not need an operation. Amen!
Prayer Answered
Doris, Missouri. I just want to say Thank you God for answered prayer. I received unexpected good news regarding a financial situation I had requested prayers for. Emmet Fox's positive affirmations led to this demonstration.
Child Support Received
Alison, USA. It was almost nine months that I had not received child support for my three children from a self centered ex husband who is well off financially. I forgive him and pray for him ever day. This was hard for me to do, but I realized how much prayer he needs. With the courts dragging their feet, I was having difficulties making my bills. I only have a part time job and bills were beginning to mount. All of my contacts with my ex had gone without reply. My attorney contacted the court to serve papers to have my ex arrested for lack of child support. I was at a desperate point when I wrote to this web site for prayer. I really did not want to have my ex arrested, but my children were suffering. I got back a wonderful reply with an affirmation to work with. I used that affirmation over and over every day. I worked with the "Golden Key" and It helped me and it helped to know that others were in prayer with me for my needs. Only one week later, I received a check from my ex for some of the back child support, over $8,000. We have a court date also for the balance. Thank you for helping me achieve this demonstration.
There is Light !
Kate M. New York
. Sit back THIS IS A MAGIC ONE! I told you my electric was to be turned off tomorrow. I also told you, that I was "golden keying it because there was NOTHING ELSE I could do. I went for aid. They gave me a grant of $175, my electric was/is $1200!!! I had to use the oven and space heaters a lot this year because the furnace isn't working properly. It wasn't too bad up until Feb, then all hell broke loose. Anyway, the agency told me they would call the electric company today. I called my son and said that instead of paying my rent, would he put the money toward the electric bill. If I have no electric I have no water/toilet, it runs the well pump. He has no other money to pay my rent. So, what could I do? I'd have to figure out the rent later. So the last email I received said I had to call the collection dept. I prayed to settle myself before I called. Maybe the additional money wouldn't be enough etc. When the computer came on and I entered my account number it said there was NO Disconnect in effect!!! But I was scared. So I pushed the button to talk to a rep. She got on. Her name was..........Angel!!!!!!! Have you EVER heard of anyone in a collection dept named "angel"? She went over the figures and asked if I wanted to make a payment. I asked her how much I would need to pay to stop the disconnect. She said, THERE IS NO DISCONNECT. I told her I had one for tomorrow. She said, No. that I didn't have to pay ANYTHING until June. How is that for a MIRACLE?Healing
Jacquelyn, United States - Thank you for your prayers for Davin's miraculous healing - he is healed, healthy, happy and joyful! Please pray to keep Davin connected to God's Light as he continues on his spiritual journey. Thank you so much. The power of prayer is truly remarkable. I wouldn't mind if you continued to pray that Jacquelyn stays connected to God's Light also! Thank you again
Verdict Overturned
P. New York. I wrote for prayer many months ago for what seemed to be, at the time, an impossible situation. My son, who was wrongly accused of an incident at his job, was on trial for a crime he did not commit . I held onto your words, "the Truth will surface, and let go and let God." I held onto prayer and the thought that I had others praying for our special need. The trial, long and painful, ended a few months ago with a devastating verdict of guilty. All odds were against us. My only son was facing a sentence of up to ten years. I wrote again for prayer. I felt like giving up. There were times I felt that I could not go on. Where was the justice, I would say? Every day was a mental battle between faith and hope and depression and anger. I kept affirming victory, maybe blindly without focus, but I kept affirming as suggested, even when the verdict was in. When my son was to appear before the judge for sentencing. His days ahead looked very grim. Without going into any detail a miracle happened. A miracle of miracles. The truth did surface. Only a few days ago, the case was over turned. The truth was revealed. My son, a wonderful father and husband is a free man again. Thank you God. Thank you all. My faith is renewed and I know with conviction that prayer is powerful and that God is with us always.
Nail Biting overcome
Jack N. 10 years old. Dear Rev. JoAnn, This is Jack and I wanted to put this message on the demonstration page. I asked everyone to help me stop biting around my nails and I did stop. I mean I stopped completely. Thanks you for praying for me. The prayers everyone did really really work because it was so easy to stop. I just did and I had tried before. Thank you. God always works.
Divine Order Apartment
Laura Lee. Thank you so much. I have had a wonderful demonstration that, in all honesty, I am still trying to accept because it is so great. An arrangement for an *amazing* apartment that was "right in front of me" worked out very well. I had not considered this before because I thought it was too good to be true. But, I kept affirming success for myself. Now that I have success, I am a little overwhelmed but look forward to getting used to it! Many, many thanks for the prayers. I do not consider this a one-time deal...I think that a demonstration "covers everything" and affirm a successful move at every level. Thank you again!! All my best.Healing of Migraine
AW – California. Hello: I am writing to let you know that the migraine I had all of today has lifted by 75% over the past hours since I requested your prayers. Whoever prayed for me this evening, please accept my heartfelt thanks. You have managed to achieve what no pharmaceutical has ever been able to accomplish. A permanent cure from this chronic migraine malady would be best and I am hopeful that it will be so soon. Thanks again for your kind prayers. I am actually feeling a tad bit better since I started this e-mail. Thank you, thank you, thank you and I send my love to all of you.
Perfect Job
Vi, Illinois. I want to say "Thank you God" for answered prayers. I wrote to this site when my position ended. I had no idea about where to look for another position since my area of work does not have a broad scope. I was not getting positive feedback from recruiters. I know in my heart that with God all things are possible, so I just accepted a perfect job in my thoughts and visualized myself working. I did the Golden Key when ever I got down or lost sight of my vision. All of a sudden a job opportunity manifested. I interviewed and was offered the position with a better package than my last job. I am back to work and I am very happy. Thank you all so much for your prayer support, for me this demonstration is huge.
Golden key Position
C Mc, New York State. I just left the Emmet Fox web site and thought you might be interested in how this job came about.....really quickly with the Golden Key.! I've been "signed" onto the Hospice list, at their request, since November . No calls. So I Golden Keyed it. Two days later, I get a referral from Hospice. It's the Vietnam vet, also something that has been an "issue" with me for years, never felt they got a fair shake! So now, I have work that I'll love, I've been very, very blessed to be around several people as they've made their transition. Being able to help the families through these times, actually "seeing" , "feeling" the change as people at first accept, then become peaceful and finally to witness the transformation to pure spirit has blessed me in so many ways. Many people "feel" there is an afterlife. Many people "believe" there is an afterlife. I know with absolute certainty there IS an afterlife because of being with people at this time in their life. It gives me great comfort and reassurance that there is a purpose to Life and Joy after life.
Special Job
Ron, New York City. I asked that you include me in prayers for work and work I received. Within a few days of posting on the prayer page for a special job, the job manifested. I had been out of work for many months with no interviews. I began to question myself and my faith. I wrote to you and received a wonderful note back. A recruiter called me from an old contact months ago, I interviewed and received the job offer. I love the job and I want to say thank you for caring, for your help, uplifting words and prayers. I plan to learn more about this teaching and attend a new thought church.
Breast Surgery Victory
Megan, Canada. Hello everyone. When I wrote asking for personal prayers I was told by doctors that I would be having cancer surgery and the breast would have to be removed. I began working with Dr. Fox's Lords Prayer interpretation and a few days before the procedure, I was told that the area in question shrunk, however, I still needed the surgery. I denied the cancer and the breast removal and used affirmations throughout the days. I believe this form of scientific prayer together with the prayers I received through all of you, brought me through with victory. I had surgery. My breast was not removed, all the cancer was taken out and I am doing well. I know that there is only one Presence and one power in this universe at that is God. I am thankful and I plan to tithe back the blessings that I have received, by helping others. My doctor said that I am "a very lucky woman." This demonstration wasn't luck or chance, but I believe it was just a glimpse of how lifting our consciousness can manifest miracles. I wish you could read the joy in my heart. Thank you all, and thank you God.
My Son Passed in the hand of an Angel
Carol, New York. I had an incredible demonstration, which up until now, I could not write about since it is one of deep, deep emotion. My seven year old had been diagnosed with a rare disease and was struggling for life. I was in much pain trying to accept the possibility of a short life for him here on earth. Every day was an emotional mountain for my husband and I to climb. I had just finished reading The Sermon on the Mount which gave me comfort, and began to read Emmet Fox's Keys To Life and Health. I was using a number of affirmations in the book for my son and affirming peace for him. Oh my God, he was very frightened. We needed peace in our lives. We had an appointment with a specialist since he was having problems breathing. While he was being examined, I placed my purse, car keys and the book on top of a large file cabinet. After the examination, the doctor asked me to step outside with him. My son who needed assistance moving and walking remained on the examination table. The prognosis was not very encouraging. When we returned into the examination room, a light seemed to engulf my son. Very sadly he had passed on in the few moments we had been out of the room. I was shaken. The strain on his face was gone and he was smiling. The doctor looked at my son and then back to me and said "what is this." Amazingly, he was clutching my book, Emmet Fox's Keys to Life and Health. My son was not physically able to get off that table and get the book off the cabinet, he would have to climb on a chair, which he could not do. My little boy was smiling, he saw someone or something. I believe he saw Dr. Fox, who so loved children and enjoyed seeing them smile. I believe Dr. Fox came like an angel and took my little boy by the hand to lead him to a higher place in life. My son passed in peace with a glow I will never forget, and though I am still very sad, and I miss him dearly, I know he is in a better place. Thank all of you for your prayers and for being here when my needs were great.No Leukemia
Marianne, New Jersey. Just to let you know that my friend had a complete blood panel done by the other doctor. Everything came back well within normal ranges. He is now starting on the prescription to clear up the fungus infection he has on his skin. So yes, treatment of the skin condition but overall his health is ok.
Thank you all for your prayers.All Our Needs Were Met
Toni, New Jersey. It is almost two years since I wrote for prayer for an increase in our finances. Married just about one year, we were spending more than we should, putting an apartment together. When Jim's job ended, our mounting credit card bills were due and we began to draw from our small savings. I had just discovered I was pregnant and we were happy but scared since we did not have much to draw on financially. Jim did not want his parents to know that the company he worked for down sized, so they were not aware of our hardship at that time. Thanksgiving was approaching and his parents called to say they wanted to come and visit. Oh my God, panic set in. We were short on the rent and with very little cash on hand. I could not purchase all the goodies for a Thanksgiving dinner. Jim and I decided to dedicate time every morning and evening for denials and affirmations as taught by Dr. Fox. It was then that I wrote this site asking for prayer. We affirmed, "God is Infinite Supply and all our needs are met." Anytime fear would creep up inside of me, I would deny it and affirm the Truth. I was planning a Thanksgiving pasta meal for Jim’s family, since we could not afford to buy a turkey. I was at the post office one morning when I ran into our neighbor next door, who was also new to the area. She just blurted out that, Bob (her husband) had been given a Thanksgiving turkey as a gift from his company, and one of his clients gave him one also, “we can’t use two, I don’t know what to do with it, would you like to have one?” I could not believe what I was hearing. Later that day Bob came by with the turkey and Jim told him that he was looking for a job. Bob asked Jim what he did and then told Jim that his company has a position open. Bob arranged the interview, Jim got the job and our prayers were answered. We had Jim's family over for a great turkey dinner that year. Jim is still with the company and just recently got promoted to project manager. God is Good and our needs were met. Jim had medical insurance in time for the delivery. Everything, even the Thanksgiving dinner worked out in Divine order. We thank you for your prayers for us. And…Thank you God, for answered prayer.
Business Demonstration
Moira, Florida. About a month and half ago I asked for prayers for TR whose business was struggling and faith lagging. Well, as expected, and once again- your prayers managed to do what we could not do alone. Three very important business deals came through for him and he is much happier. He worked very hard on these deals but hard work is never enough and there was concern, but we should not have worried at all because all things are possible through prayer and the deals came through and he is on his way up. Thank you so much for praying for him. I remember reading somewhere that when God is your partner you better make big plans. How true. I just want everyone reading this to know that prayer is a guarantee and this is easy to prove. When you request prayer so many people you never know about are praying for you and the universe starts rushing your desire to you. If you see nothing happening, like in this situation, know that behind the scenes the mysterious power of prayer is moving to set your desires rushing towards you. Thank you all for praying for him and putting the power and focus of your time and energy into the life of someone you don't even know. Thanks so very much and keep up the good work!! I recently read that the stages of God's work are: #1. Impossible. #2. Difficult. #3. Done. When you are at impossible know done is around the corner.Survives Harrowing Experience
Doug, New York. It is only about a year and a half now that I have decided to include God and spirituality in my life, this came as the result of my wife finding a New Thought center. In fact, it was she who prompted me to write this and send it over to you. I had been on a weekend ski trip with a few clients and my boss. I am not seasoned at skiing. I got off course and could not find my way back. I began to get concerned since visibility was not the best. No one was in sight. I started to Golden Key and think about God rather than think about being stranded. I kept moving in a direction I thought would lead me back to the resort. My ski caught something and I tumbled down a small incline. I was definitely injured. I must have been there the good part of an hour affirming "God is my director and protector". God heard me. All of a sudden I could hear voices. A ski instructor and his friend. Needless to say they got me back to the resort. The story doesn't end there. I feared that I had a fracture, so I was taken to the nearest hospital. It was small and I was told the orthopedic doctor was not on duty for the weekend and I would be going by chopper to another hospital. I thought, "God this cannot be happening to me!" I affirmed "Into your hands I place myself and this situation." I repeated this many times. As I was getting ready to be taken to another hospital, a nurse came in and said "the orthopedic doctor just came into the hospital, this is your lucky day." I
