The Fifth Great Prayer For an Abundant & Blessed Life
"GOD I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE"
Dear Friend in Prayer,
Welcome back to The 7 Great Prayers course. I sincerely hope and pray that you are receiving more blessings from God since you started receiving these guides from me.
If you haven’t gotten the blessings you've been praying for, don’t worry. I’m getting emails everyday from those that are getting God’s blessings; maybe your turn just hasn’t come yet; or…God has different blessings in mind for you.
So please, keep your focus on God. And the best way to keep your focus on God is to pray the 5th Great Prayer which is:
"GOD I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE"
By saying this prayer everyday it helps you “recognize” that God, His presence, and power, is everywhere.
If you get so caught up on your problems, be it health, money, or a relationship; and your focus is on yourself and your problem, when it should always be on God, you’ll miss God’s messengers and events that have been sent your way, by God, to help you.
God is always reaching out to help you and me. But many times He does it in ways that we just don’t see. By saying this 5th prayer, you’ll reprogram your internal radio station from WME (me) to WGOD.
Think about it, a radio or TV can pick up hundreds of different channels, but unless you set the dial to the station you wish to hear, even though your favorite song or TV program may be playing over the air waves, you’ll never hear or see it.
But when you pray this prayer,
"GOD I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE"
you’ll be tuning into WGOD, and in a matter of no time you’ll start receiving blessings in abundance from God.
Here’s a famous story on how God is everywhere, always ready to help, and always sending people or events that will help you.
THE BIG FLOOD
There was a man named Joe whose farm was located on the banks of a flood-swollen river.
There came a big flood, and the water around Joe's house was rising steadily.
Joe was standing on the porch, watching water rising all around him, when a man in a boat came along. and called to Joe, "Get in the boat and I'll get you out of here." Joe replied. "No thanks. God will save me."
Joe went into the house, and the water was starting to pour in. So, he went up to the second floor.
As he looked out, another man in a boat came along, and he called to Joe, "Get in the boat and I'll get you out of here."
Again, Joe replied, "No thanks. God will save me."
The water kept rising. So, Joe got out onto the roof.
A helicopter flew over, and the pilot called down to Joe, "I'll drop you a rope. Grab onto it, and I'll get you out of here."
Again Joe replied, "No thanks. God will save me."
The water rose and rose, and soon nearly covered the whole house. Joe fell in, and drowned.
When he arrived in Heaven, he saw God, and asked Him, "Why didn't you save me from that terrible flood? Did I not show you my faith?"
With a loving but irritated tone God replied, "What more would you have me do? I sent two boats and a helicopter!"
Now if poor old Joe had gotten these emails :) , and said The 7 Great Prayers daily, especially the 5th Great Prayer…
“GOD I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE”
he would have “recognized” that God is “everywhere” and “inside” everyone (e.g., The Third Great Prayer – “God is inside me”) and that God was working through these fine people to save him.
So pay attention, God wants to help you, and He's reaching out to everyone on this planet, including you, everyday! God’s job is to help you and answer your prayers, and it’s your job to keep your eyes and heart open to those people and events God sends your way to help you.
Keeping with the theme of the 5th Great Prayer, and the mysterious ways God works, I’m reminded of the famous quote from Napoleon Hill, the 21st Century’s premier success guru…
"Within every adversity is the seed of an equal or greater benefit."
What you may think is a problem is actually an “opportunity” disguised as a problem. So when problems come your way, and they come to all of us, look for the benefit that will come your way when you solve the problem.
And the way you find the benefit is to keep repeating to yourself the prayer:
“GOD I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE”
I’m begging you to stick to the praying formula I’ve outlined in here. I HIGHLY recommend spending more of your time in prayer.
Remember how Jesus led his life and the countless writings of Jesus praying. Praying in public. Praying with his disciples. Praying in private.
Pray as Jesus did. He didn't pray long rambling prayers that had to be memorized. He instead prayed from his heart. He kept his prayers short and simple and full of love. If you’re too busy trying to “memorize” a prayer, you’re not incorporating your “heart and soul” into your prayer. God doesn’t want mindless memorization. He wants your full attention, your full heart and soul; and the easiest, best, and most POWERFUL way to do this is to…
K.I.S.S. (keep it sweetly simple)
Why are these prayers so great? Again I say, because they cover the 7 most important aspects of God, prayer, and their ability to attract God’s blessings. They are short, simple, and POWERFUL, and attract blessings to you like a magnet. On one condition…
You repeat them with love in your heart, EVERYDAY the rest of your life!
What makes the McDonald’s franchises so successful? Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald’s created a K.I.S.S. formula for making great hamburgers, that anyone could follow. A McDonald's hamburger tastes the same in New York City, as it does in Miami, as it does in San Francisco. Why?
Because the cooks all follow a K.I.S.S. formula. I encourage you to do the same!
Again, I encourage you to write each of The 7 Great Prayers on an index card and carry them with you at all times. Please take a moment right now, and I mean right now, and find piece of paper and write down the first 5 Great Prayers:
* God I love you
* Thank you God
* God you are inside me
* I attract God’s Blessings
* God I see you everywhere
The first three prayers build the “the foundation for the prayer that “attracts” an “abundant “life, and “blessings” from God; prayer #4, and the 5th Great Prayer better enables you to get “in tune” with God to receive His blessings.
Using the above 5 Great Prayers, remember, these are the foundation, from there you make modifications, personalizing each prayer to your individual needs, creating various “Thank You Prayers”, and when asking for blessings, always make sure you ask in the personal and positive tense as though you’ve already received the blessing you’re praying for.
Added to all this is the lesson I already forwarded to you on the Power of Affirmations
*I can do it!
* I believe in God, I believe in me.
* Day by Day in everyway I’m getting better and better.
* I am happy, healthy, and wealthy.
* Affirmation Prayers are all created and said in the “present” tense, and in a “positive” manner.
THE POWER OF REPETITION
We’ve also learned in our prior lessons that it’s not a matter how long or poetic your prayers are to God, but more importantly is that you should keep your prayers short, simple, and powerful.
The most important thing in praying is repetition, and the easiest way to repeat and memorize something is to keep it short and simple, ala, The 7 Great Prayers.
Now here comes my advertisement for my Prayer CD called The 7 Great Prayers. The reason I keep telling you about this CD is that it makes praying easy and simple. In fact as I’m writing this email I’m playing the CD. You can play it in the car, home, office; anywhere at anytime!******************************************************************

Paul McManus
