“If when one prays his prayer is a recognition of Spirit’sOmniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence, and a realization of man’sunity with Spirit, then his prayer is a spiritual treatment.” – ErnestHolmes

It’s been a primary part of my work recently to remind others that the “go to” spiritual practice for us in New Thought is affirmative prayer, more commonly referred to, among those of us who are practitioners, as spiritual mind treatment. When I was studying to become a licensed practitioner, and ultimately a minister I spent a lot of my time looking at the use of prayer in faith traditions, and considering how it agrees or differs from the method we teach.
