This book was written with great love for those who have not given up hope that their dreams might come true. It is dedicated to the despondent and demoralized, who have struggled for so long to achieve their desires, to no avail. Yet, even though everything around themselves tells them otherwise, with a faint glimmer of faith, they have clung desperately to their heartfelt aspirations. Never, never, never give up.

I am grateful for everyone who made this book possible. Thanks to everyone at Celestial Arts, especially Jo Ann Deck, for believing in this book, and to Veronica Randall, for bringing it to completion.

Thank you to our dearly beloved departed Dr. Peter Meyer, my Prayer Therapy mentor. Thanks to our adored departed Rich Bell, who wrote many of the healing prayers in my books. I am grateful to Prem Raja Baba for opening my eyes to the real power of the subconscious mind. Thanks to James Van Praagh for your support in getting this book published. I give thanks to all the New Thought ministers who have graciously and generously invited me to their churches and conferences to speak.

But most of all, I am grateful to Jeff and Deborah Herman. Thank you for standing by me always, through thick, thin, and everything in between.

As a child, I held great appreciation for the miracles of life. In every part of creation I saw a wonderland of forms and phenomena. Looking at a flower or leaf, a tree or bird, I contemplated the God-essence within it. While riding the city bus, I appreciated the beauty shining through every face: bright bouncy children, ancient wrinkled facesall races, all ages, all colorsa garden of flowers in the landscape of Gods love.

I received great realizations of truth as an artist. I remember attempting to translate a landscape or a person onto paper. However, the longer I gazed at an object, the more I realized it was impossible to accurately paint it. That is because every object is an infinity in itself. There is endless detail in Gods creation. No one can represent that boundlessness with the inadequacy of an artists tools.

As I grew up, I sought to recapture something of that childlike joy of Spirit. I began an amazing spiritual quest that took me all over the world. This search culminated in a profound opening to the sublime presence of God within. With the help of the effulgent beings of light, in constant communion with me, I regained appreciation for commonplace things that express Gods wonders. Through daily revelations from God within, I have understood how anyone can create miracles through trusting the still small voice within and following its guidance.

The advantage I bring to this work is that I was not born with any extraordinary abilities but discovered the inner life through patient, dedicated study and practice for forty years. Because I have walked this pathway myself, I can assist others in developing some of the abilities I have achieved.

I am on a journey. I have not arrived at a destination where no further progress is to be made. I assume you are on a similar path, and I know this book can help you materialize greater good for yourself and others. It can also inspire you to make some remarkable choices that you may not have considered before. So keep an open mind to what you are about to receive, and continue to awaken your soul to the Spirit of God.

With love, Dr. Susan Shumsky, June 1, 2006

This book is part of a teaching called Divine Revelation, a body of knowledge inspired by divine guidance, to assist you in developing spiritually and realizing God.

Miracle Prayer offers a complete system for discovering and ascertaining your deepest, heartfelt desires, and for manifesting them.
