The Only Little Prayer You Need: The Shortest Route to a Life of Joy, Abundance, and Peace of Mind

I learned about and purchased this book after attending a conference at which Debra was a speaker and teacher. I have done some study of A Course in Miracles, so was interested to learn how one little prayer related to its teachings might help me with my occasional anxiety.I now say Debra's "little prayer" every day, several times a day, and before i fall asleep. I even write it in my morning pages journal. it has somehow taken away that panic and worry that has accompanied so many of my thoughts since I experienced some dramatic changes in my life a few years ago.Thank you, Debra, for sharing this simple, yet powerful gift with the rest of us.

The Only Little Prayer You Need is a gem! Rooted in the teachings of A Course in Miracles, which is a form of spiritual psychotherapy, this book teaches you a simple process to heal your thinking—and subsequently, transform your life—on a deep level.Debra Landwehr Engle explains how all our thoughts are rooted in either fear or love. When you criticize yourself, feel anxious or are stuck in a cycle of negative thinking, The Only Little Prayer You Need helps guide you back to your natural state: Love.The prayer is simple: “Dear God, please heal my fear-based thoughts.”Since reading the book, this prayer has become my go-to mantra. When stressed, I say the pray to restore my mind to peace and calm. As a psychotherapist, I recommend this book to all my clients, no matter what issues they’re dealing with.When you feel disappointed and demoralized, it’s hard to switch gears and talk to yourself with love and encouragement. It’s a tough thing to do on your own. That’s where the prayer comes in. When you say the prayer—“Dear God, Please heal my fear-based thoughts”—you reach out to a power greater than yourself to help you do what you cannot do alone.As Engle writes, “By asking your fear-based thoughts to be healed, a new space is created within your mind.” As that space opens, you become more receptive to hear Divine guidance—your inner wisdom—speak to you. Just reading the book opens that space.The Only Little Prayer You Need is filled with wisdom and spiritual support. I’ve benefited from it and know others will, too.

It could only have been the prompting of the Holy Spirit that I ordered this book and began reading it because I felt I didn't need another book on prayers.I did not realize how wound up in fear I was at the time, especially as I faced with retirement, and filled with doubts about my future. Not long into the book, I began to receive revelations, and though still reading and thinking of persons who can benefit began recommending it. I had the prayer put on my phones, and was surprise to learn of it's recommendation at the end, assuring me that the Holy Spirit is real, and even if my faith at best is weak, God is more in tune with my life than I think. May all who read this book be blessed and be a blessing to others. If you don't say share the prayer, daily use the prayer and think of persons you need to lift before God.I highly recommend this book and the prayer which when practiced will keep us living with less fear and more in the presence of God.

The Only Little Prayer You Need: The Shortest Route to a Life of Joy, Abundance, and Peace of Mind This is the book that has been suggested to me twice this month, so I kindled it.It's an easy read. The prayer is: Please Heal my Fear Based Thoughts. In the book, when she discovered it, the rattles in her dashboard went away. It's an interesting read and she makes great points about everything negative in our lives stem from our own fear based thoughts. So, you end up keeping a journal when you have these thoughts (I realized they are a constant for me) and reciting the prayer pretty much all day, Did it relieve my fear based thoughts, not really, but I have free floating anxiety so not sure mine is always connected to a thought or if it is, I'm not smart enough to get it, however it is making me think about all my emotions that are fear based. This is the good part of the book.The part I did not care for was the constant plug for a Course in Miracles. Hub & I tried a class in this last year and it was just gobble-de-goop to us, could never make any sense of it, so her constant reference back to it is aggravating to me and distracts from her message.I think I will stick with my own little prayer. Everytime my life has gone to hell in a handbag, I start crying (because I need to be completely broken and ego free) and just say God help me! And he always does...

I don't usually get to take a day to read something, but when this arrived 6 days early, I took it as a sign. This book is helping me see how much negativity is in my head without any intention to it. It's also the first source that explained Ego in a way that made sense. The message is clear and right on point. I loved it so much I bought a second copy which is on it's way to my mom. The book mentions "A Course in Miracles" frequently but it's not in a way that says "you have to buy that course."

As a Jewish interspiritualist, I loved this book. I translated the author’s use of Holy Spirit into a Jewish concept that resonates deeply with me, Shechinah. It was thorough, yet concise and is a book I am sure to return to many times. I’ve already applied this gorgeous Prayer with miraculous healing results. Thank you!!

From the first page of this book, I was enlightened! So many good things to relate to in everyone's life. Best book I ever read! I am going to let all my friends and family know about it, and I will order more books for sure! CM

I don't know why, but this book just jumped out at me, so to speak, so I purchased it. Easy to read, and very much makes a lot of sense. A real game changer as to other books in the category of Mind, Body and Spirit. It is not too religious at all, some might be turned off by the title, but have no need to. It is a Universal book that anyone can relate to. It is thought provoking in what it is saying, always a good thing, good easy read before bed. I haven't been able to put the book down since I've had it, and have already read the first 100 pages. Of late I have found it difficult to pick up a book to read, so the above should say something about the quality of the book. Can't wait to finish it and start to apply what it teaches in my everyday life. Well worth the money.

Just loved this book. It brings things back to basics. Going to buy some extra copies for friends I know will get a lot from this insightful book.

Amazing little book arrived and is in Perfect condition ..would order again Thankyou .x

Just what I needed at the right time. A fabulous yet simple little guide that is already making a huuuuuge difference. Thank you, Debra ...
