What makes prayer work?
A prayer is nothing more than a fervent statement of what is so. Every prayer, every thought, every statement, every feeling is creative. To the degree that it is fervently held as truth, to that degree it will manifest in your experience.
What one must know here is that, there is always a thought behind a thought. This might be called the Sponsoring Thought. So therefore, if you beg and plead, there seems much smaller chance that you will experience or get as a result of your (or what you think as) prayer. The real problem here is, the Sponsoring Thought behind every plea of yours says that, you do not (now) have what you wish. And that Sponsoring Thought becomes a reality. This simply means you do not get what you want or in your words, your prayers go unanswered.
But there is one Sponsoring Thought that could override this – the thought that God will grant whatever is asked without fail. But how many people have such faith. Very few.
This is how people ending up doing all sorts of things - from sacrifice to fasting to just about everthing. All this done in the name of god. (Article not complete)
