Yeah those books are great. I think you mean ‘power of your subconscious mind’

Here are a few prayers by him which I think can be really helpful in tough times.

God, the life principle in me, the living spirit, the reality of me, is my guide and counselor today and every day. This living spirit in me is my wayshower, my boss, my adjuster, my paymaster, the source of my supply. And I am inspired and illumined from on high. Today and everyday from now on, god thinks, speaks, acts and reacts through me and my words are words of wisdom, truth and beauty.

I’m surrounded by an envelope of gods love. I’m invulnerable and nothing can touch me but that which is good and very good. I clothe myself with the garment of infinite love and infinite peace. God watches over me and where I am god is. The whole armor of god surrounds me and I bear a charmed life. Whenever fear or worry comes to my mind, I will immediately affirm, ‘God watches over me’ it is wonderful.

“the lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?”

“Gods love fills my soul, Gods peace fills my soul”

Divine law and order govern my life with divine love

I fully and freely forgive everyone who has ever hurt me. I release them and it is done with forever. Whenever I think of any one of them, I bless that person. I forget the past and move on to a glorious future of perfect health, harmony and peace. My mind is poised, serene and calm. In this atmosphere of peace and goodwill which surrounds me, I feel a deep abiding strength and freedom from all fear. I now sense and feel the love and beauty of the cosmic healing presence. Day by day I become more aware of Gods love, everything that’s false fades away. I now allow the cosmic river of peace and healing power to flow through my whole body. I rest in the everlasting arms of peace. My peace is the deep unchanging cosmic peace, the peace of God.

I’m born to succeed, I’m born to win. The infinite within me can’t fail. Divine law and order govern my life, divine peace fills my soul. Divine love saturates my mind. Infinite intelligence guides me in all ways. Gods riches flow to me freely, joyously, endlessly, ceaselessly. I’m advancing, moving forward and growing, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially and in all other ways. I know these truths are sinking into my subconscious mind and I know and I believe, they’ll grow after their kind.

Victory over obstacles: I now let go of everything; I enter into the realization of peace, harmony, and joy. God is all, over all, through all, and all in all. I lead the triumphant life, because I know that divine love guides, directs, sustains, and heals me. The immaculate presence of God is at the very center of my being; it is made manifest now in every atom of my body. There can be no delay, impediment, or obstruction to the realization of my hearts desire.

The Almighty power of God is now moving in my behalf. I know what I want; my desire is clear-cut and definite. I accept completely in my mind. I remain faithful to the end. I have entered into the silent inner knowing that my prayer is answered and my mind is at peace.

Overcoming fears: There is no fear, as perfect love casts out fear. Today I permit love to keep me in perfect harmony and peace with all levels of my world. My thoughts are loving, kind, and harmonious. I sense my oneness with God, for in him I live, move, and have my being.

I know that all my desires will be realized in perfect order. I trust the divine law within me to bring my ideals to pass. The father doeth the works. I am divine, spiritual, joyous, and absolutely fearless. I am now surrounded by the perfect piece of God; it is the peace of God which passes all understanding. I now place all my attention on the thing desired. I love this desire and I give it my wholehearted attention.

My spirit is lifted into the mood of confidence and peace; this is the spirit of God moving in me. It gives me a sense of peace, security, and rest. Truly, perfect love casts out all fear.

I’m willing to release all resistance.

I’m willing to release the need for all resistance.

I’m willing to release the need to be unworthy. I deserve the very best in life and I now lovingly allow myself to accept it.

Don’t crave it. That beautiful thing. Sit still and let it come to you.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.

If you want something to return to the source, you must first allow it to spread out. If you want something to weaken, you must first allow it to become strong.

If you want something to be removed, you must first allow it to flourish. If you want to possess something, you must first give it away.

Beautiful!

You are right...that’s the book I meant!

Do you do your reading early in the morning or while doing workout etc? Do you do it as a study or just like any other book? I listen to most of my books on audible while biking early in the morning...I feel like I am able to grasp a lot more like that while I am in the midst of the nature with the cool breeze blowing around me...

it depends on the book but usually with these kind of books, I read it thoroughly and take notes like the above prayers. If its a spiritual book then I listen to it as the author has his own energy which gets lost in the reading format. Some of the books I've listened to more than 10 times so its good to revisit, you'll understand more and more, it really changes your perspective.

I'd suggest to take notes of all the prayers and then pick a few and repeat them throughout the day specially in the morning and at night before going to sleep. do it infront of a mirror, stare at your right eye and repeat the prayer slowly. If you notice any resistance then let it out and keep going.

I think this will also help:

Sorry to hear you have to battle depression. YES it is real and it is devastating as any physical illness can be, in fact depression increases your chances of having cardiac conditions, diabetes, gastric etc... Good that you have the drive to write. Keep on, encouraging others and working on figuring out what works for you and help others find what works for them.

Wow, you left me speechless. What a beautiful post, thanks for sharing ❤️

Thanks mate but I'm out of it but it took a lot of searching, figuring things out on my own which led me to many different things. So I'm just sharing what I've learned over the years so others don't have to go through it, figuring all this out on their own.
