Prayer
Demand for Conquering Fear The following prayer is a prayer demand to conquer fear from Paramhansa Yogananda's "Whispers from Eternity" book of prayers. Yogananda counseled that we should do our prayers as little children sending loving demands to our Spiritual Father or Mother. If we pray believing, we add a spiritual potency to our prayers. As we pray, we should visualize ourselves releasing all fear from our hearts and those of others who are terrorized by fear. Demand to be Able to Conquer Fear "Infinite Spirit, teach me to comprehend the utter uselessness of being afraid. Help me to remember that death, if it must come, does not come twice; and that when it does occur, through the mercifulness of nature, I shall not know of it nor care. Thus, I need not tremble at the thought of death. "Teach me not to paralyze my nerves by the dread of any imagined accident, and thus invite it to happen in reality. "Bless me, that I do not through fear anaesthetize my unlimited power, as Thy child, to overcome the tests and trials of life. Make me know that whether I am awake or asleep, alert or dreaming, Thine all-protecting presence encircles me. "Make me feel that, though I may be in a strong, man-made castle and clad in armor, I am vulnerable to disease, earthquake and accident if I am without Thee, but that, though I walk where bullets fly or bacteria abound, I am protected behind the battlements of everlasting safety if Thou art with me." -Paramhansa Yogananda, Whispers from Eternity, 1949 edition To request healing prayers, to learn more about healing prayers, or to join over 800 members worldwide who pray regularly for those in need, email us at prayers@ananda.org
