'How to Use the Power of Prayer' is a book by Dr. Joseph Murphy. Murphy was acclaimed as one of the best self-help book writers. This book conveys that you can have whatever you desire-all you have to do is ask. It emphasizes believing that your prayers are answered and that prayers are packed with a mysterious power that gives you what you ask for. In this book, Murphy claims that no matter how big an obstacle appears, or how hopeless things seem to be, all can be solved with the help of prayer. The book covers a wide range of topics such as how to heal oneself, how to overcome worry and fear, how to have a better future, and a lot more simply by following the steps given and regularly practiced, connecting with the divinity within us, and effectively praying.
