Murphy, author of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, wrote this book to explain to readers how they could attain the source of their good and to get desired results through proper prayer. It is a manual on how to pray, how to maintain prayer as part of everyday activity, how to use prayer in case of emergency or danger, etc. According to Murphy, prayer is an ever present help in time of trouble, but you do not have to wait for trouble to make prayer an integral and constructive part of your life.
