Anyone interested in Neville Goddard's teachings on prayer and manifestation.
TL;DR
Neville Goddard teaches that effective prayer requires persistent practice and hearing the wish fulfilled as if it's already true. A telephone operator demonstrates this by having her son call and say he's flying jets, which soon happens. The key is to shift from asking to confessing you already have it.
Key Takeaways
- Effective prayer is an art requiring careful method and persistent practice, not merely reciting learned prayers.
- The core of successful prayer is persistency, as illustrated by the parable of the widow who wore down the judge.
- One powerful technique is to hear a loved one's voice declaring the wish fulfilled, as if it has already happened.
- Prayer should be a confession of having what you want, not a request for it, shifting from desire to possession.
- Imagination can be used to vividly rehearse a desired scene, engaging senses like touch to make it feel real.
- The story of the telephone operator shows that hearing the wish fulfilled in one's mind can lead to its physical manifestation.

Questions & Answers
How to pray effectively according to Neville Goddard?
Effective prayer is an art requiring persistent practice. You must assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, hearing and speaking as if your desire is already real.
What is the parable of the persistent widow about?
It teaches persistency in prayer. A widow kept asking an unjust judge for justice until he granted it, showing we should pray continually without losing heart.
Can you give an example of Neville's prayer technique?
A mother had her son call and say he was flying jets, even though he wasn't. She heard his voice declaring it, and soon he got a job flying jets.
How do I pray for something specific?
State your desire as already fulfilled. Instead of 'I want a new car,' say 'Isn't it wonderful I have a new car?' and hear it as true.
What did Neville say about praying for others?
You can pray for others by hearing their voice declaring the wish fulfilled. Don't take responsibility for their outcome; simply let it come to pass.

Cultivating hearing allows you to record a voice and replay it with your desired words. Hearing the wish fulfilled makes it real in your soul.
