PRAYER: THE ART OF BELIEVING BY NEVILLE GODDARD
Prayer: The Art of Believing is Neville Goddard's exploration of prayer, faith, imagination, and conscious creation.
Neville approaches prayer through the idea that the individual's inner state matters profoundly.
Rather than viewing prayer only as asking for something that does not yet exist, he explores prayer as an inward act involving belief, imagination, feeling, and acceptance.
The book develops Neville's understanding of how a person can use consciousness deliberately and how faith and imagination relate to the experience of desired conditions.
For readers studying the Law of Assumption, this work provides important early insight into principles that became central to Neville's wider teachings.

Chapter 3: Imagination and Faith
