The power of prayer is undeniable. Prayer has been shown to have a number of mental health benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety, improving moods and self-esteem, and aiding in recovery from mental illness. But how does prayer work?
There are several theories on how prayer can improve mental health. One theory is that it connects people with their Higher Power or God, which can help them feel connected and supported. Prayer can also help people focus on positive thoughts and emotions, which can reduce stress and anxiety.
Prayer has been shown to be an effective way to help people recover from mental illness. Prayer can provide support and encouragement during difficult times, and it can help people connect with their Higher Power or God.
There are many types of prayers that can be used for mental wellbeing. Prayer can be effective in calming the mind and body, strengthening relationships, and increasing spiritual awareness.
In this blog post, I am introducing 5 short daily prayers to say in the order presented. Each has a specific purpose, and all 5 work together as a team against negative entities.
I introduce the first three protection prayers as a group for clarification purposes. I recommend offering these in sequential order 3 times a day when being afflicted by negative entities.
In the pre-existence, you lived with God, who is pure light. You desired to emulate God. To become more Godlike, you needed to gain more intelligence. This meant you had arrived at a point you wanted to leave the “so-called classroom with God as your teacher” to venture out to participate in “a so-called on-the-job first-hand experience” to further your goal to increase intelligence. To fully understand light, you needed to experience darkness that you could not do in the presence of God, who is pure light. So, to further progress, you chose to leave God’s presence for a time. To better understand the good and the positive you enjoyed while in God’s presence, you also needed to experience opposition, the bad, and negativity. Now it was apparent darkness was necessary to gain more intelligence. Thus, you learned the role of dark beings is part of God’s plan of progression.

I was taught darkness (depression and dark entities) becomes present because you have inner darkness that attracted it. In this blog post, I will present why I question this tradition of thinking and explore if darkness attacks light.
Darkness despises light because light reveals what cannot be detected in the dark. Darkness doesn’t despise itself (darkness). Darkness attacks light because light is the enemy of darkness. Now I have established why light is the opponent of darkness, I wish to consider this further.

The only thing that gets rid of darkness is light. Healing is about getting rid of darkness which can only occur if light replaces it. What is healing light? I am not referring to the physical components of light, I am inquiring about a way to generate light that replaces darkness.

What do I think about prayer versus energy work? I will answer this question in this blog post and why I came to the conclusions I did.
When I developed a desire to heal, I focused on energy work which I sincerely believed would lead to full healing.
If you get an energy worker that is good at moving large amounts of light/energy and you have the money and time, consistent energy sessions (once or twice a week) can be helpful.
It becomes expensive and time-consuming continually returning for another energy session with the hope of being healed. After months of consistent healing sessions, I felt uncomfortable paying hundreds of dollars and continually being dependent on someone to improve well-being. It became apparent, at this rate, hundreds of dollars would turn into thousands of dollars.
I worked with six different energy workers. Some were better than others, but none of them were successful in healing the problems I desired to be healed.
I was unsatisfied even though I had learned helpful tips observing the energy workers, especially improving my ability to focus. I came to understand there is a difference between helping to control ailments, and healing ailments. I deeply desired to receive healing.
As mentioned, I sincerely believed energy workers could heal targeted ailments. I reasoned since light was focused on healing the base material we are made of, healing would occur. Sounds logical but it isn’t that simple.
This idea that an energy healer can heal you is false. It is like telling someone you will pay them to do push-ups for you so you can get stronger. Sound ridiculous? Of course, it is…everyone knows you can’t get stronger paying someone to exercise for you. Guess what? This same principle applies when it comes to energy work. A good energy worker should be referred to as a “guide teacher” teaching you how to heal yourself. On this blog, I am striving to help others understand the true role of a healer is to be a teacher.
After I understood I needed to learn to heal myself, I began to practice focusing on and moving light energy.
As I continued to search for healing truths, I came to recognize the power of words.
In the New Testament, onlookers watching Christ were astonished by the power present when He spoke words…
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power…And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.”
Luke 4:32,36
In a previous blog post, I posted a reminder that the world was created through the power of words which tells you learning to use words with focused intention and energy can result in creation and the creation of healing.
With some practice, all of us can learn to use words to create power. “Word phrases” with focus can be employed as meditative thoughts, or they can become words of a prayer, or they can be simply referred to as word phrases you created. Whatever definition(s) is your preference, the goal is to increase…
Let me clarify, it is perfectly fine to borrow other’s word phrases as you practice and learn, but eventually, it is best to create your own word phrases because they will generate greater emotion and desire to achieve improved results. Gradually you will learn to express your very own “word” creations.
As you read my blog, you can tell I use my “word phrases” in what I define as prayer. I have witnessed healing through heartfelt prayer and I believe whenever any type of healing occurs, God did it and allowed it.
Have I arrived on my journey to heal? No, I haven’t. I have come to understand most of the time, healing is a process, not an event. There are several variables in play for healing to occur.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 20:2
I have discovered when healing is thankfully achieved, most of the time it continues to be an ongoing process to maintain overall health. In a previous blog post, I explain what needs to occur to successfully maintain healing.
If healing has not been achieved, our job is to never give up, to figure out what roadblocks are preventing it, and work to get rid of them!
In today’s world, it isn’t a common occurrence to hear of someone who received healing, but when you do, it is NOT an energy worker that healed them. It is because someone used words with belief and asking (with intention) to be healed, and then a power greater than man’s healed them. Energy work can help a person, but if you are seeking to be healed rather than to only be helped, you may want to consider the modality of heartfelt prayer.
I hope this blog post will help you understand why the focused power of words is a top priority in the healing process.

In the middle of December 2019, my son, Darrell’s emotional and mental struggles heightened. He so desires a normal life with a wife and family rather than living with severe Bipolar II disorder. He became discouraged watching his siblings raise and provide for families. Each December day that passed, Darrell seemed to be surrounded by a fog becoming more reclusive, sad, and depressed. I so disliked watching him give up, but he couldn’t seem to help himself. Nothing I said or encouraged him to do was helping either. I felt helpless as I watched his mental and emotional well-being decline.
It is difficult for me to write about his decline after several months of improvements, but I must honestly share this recent setback along with his past improvements I previously shared. The truth sets us free, not lies. I have faith there is purpose in this setback. I am either learning something to help me or others or both. I refuse to give up.
Christmas Day, Darrell stayed in his room all day. He didn’t even come out to join us for dinner let alone to open Christmas gifts. He did finally decide to open his Christmas gifts three days after Christmas which lifted his spirits temporarily.
We thought things would get better after Christmas passed, but the downward spiral continued into New Years’. Then we thought it would improve after the New Year, but it didn’t. Darrell was not finding his way out this slump. I pleaded with Darrell not to give up, but he continued to be reclusive, very sad, depressed, grumpy, and difficult to live with.
One morning a few weeks into this downward spiral, Darrell became so distraught and mad that he broke his X-box and TV screen throwing them in the garbage. About a week later, the first of February 2020, this downward spiral finally culminated after six weeks of depression and sadness. He became suicidal. He was pale and could not speak or was speaking very slowly sometimes using “made up” words that made no sense. We took him to the brand new “access center” located in the hospital. The “access center” is equipped to help mental patients “access” treatment faster since the hospital ER generally has long wait times. A very helpful addition to a hospital facility!
I wasn’t surprised the doctor decided to admit him to the hospital. The staff psychiatrist prescribed several medications over Darrell’s nine-day stay in the hospital which was helpful. I was devasted and couldn’t understand after so many months of progression why this was happening. I still don’t understand why, but I have been able to find my way to accepting it with trust in God.
Others have notified me of the desperation they feel from a heavy fog surrounding them too. I wrote a previous blog post about what a servant of Jesus Christ says this fog is if you would like to check it out.
It is a big setback, but if I choose to stop hoping, I cannot cope with this situation without hope so I choose to continue to hope. I believe when you ask God for something, there can be a period of waiting before an answer is granted. I think faith is having hope and perseverance during “this said time of waiting”. I also think it is likely this waiting period is a time for God to work with me so I can learn whatever is intended from this challenge. I wrote about the likelihood of being involved in choosing challenges in the premortal existence before coming to earth in a previous blog post if you would like to read it.
Darrell is stabilized and his well-being is improving. If you feel inclined, please pray for Darrell’s healing. Thank you. I would very much appreciate your prayers.
