A Story of Prayer that Changes Your Life

Nov. 10, 2018（Last Update: June 13, 2026）

Prayers definitely reach the spirit world

Everyone experiences 'prayer' at some point in their life.

It might be when you visit a shrine for the first prayer of the year, or during marriage, childbirth, illness, or exams.

When you have a wish that you desperately want to come true, or a problem that you want to solve, the content of your prayer reaches somewhere in the spirit world, and there are spirits listening to it.

However, whether it reaches good beings like gods or angels, or falls into the hands of evil spirits that have fallen into hell, depends on your heart.

Based on the laws of the spirit world elucidated by Happy Science, we will deliver how to pray to open up your life.

COLUMN The Mystery of Prayer

Is there any effect of prayer? There is an experiment that answers such questions.
In the coronary care unit of San Francisco General Hospital, they examined whether there would be differences between a 'patient group that was prayed for over 10 months' and a group that was not prayed for.
As a result, it was found that the number of patients needing antibiotics was one-fifth of those who were not prayed for.

A Story of Prayer (1) This Kind of Prayer Connects to Evil Spirits

The first step to inviting happiness through prayer is not to pray in a way that connects to evil spirits. Connecting to evil spirits invites unhappiness.

For strong wishes and prayers, regardless of their type or content, there are definitely spirits that resonate in the realm of existence beyond the fourth dimension.

However, if you pray only for your own desires, without considering the misfortunes of others, eventually, that prayer will connect to the spirits of the dead in hell.

Therefore, even if it seems that luck has turned for a while, you will inevitably be placed in a state of being at the mercy of hellish spirits, leading to misfortunes such as illness, business failures, and dead ends in life.

Do you have such feelings in your wishes?

(1) Not considering the misfortunes of others

Selfish and ego-driven wishes connect to hell. For example,
'Wishing for others to fail for my promotion', 'Wanting to take away someone I like from others', 'Wanting to shift the blame for failure onto others', etc.

(2) Only fulfilling your own desires

If you have excessive material desires like 'I want this and that' or a desire for honor like 'I want to be seen better by others', or if you are preoccupied with matters of the opposite sex, those wishes will connect to evil spirits.

check! The law of the spirit world is 'harmonious resonance'. Prayers filled with ego and desires connect to the 'dark world', while prayers emanating from a pure heart connect to the heavenly realm.

A Story of Prayer (2) 'How to Pray' that Connects to God

To have your prayers heard by the gods of the spirit world, the state of your heart is important. Here is an introductory guide.

(1) Prepare your heart before praying

The heart is like a magnet that attracts what is close to it. Therefore, it is necessary to have a heart that is blessed by the gods. It should not be a restless heart, but a calm heart like a still lake. Let's practice the following.

Let's practice before praying

◇ Take deep breaths in your abdomen about 5 to 10 times
◇ Check if worries or desires occupy your heart
◇ Believe that there are gods and spiritual beings

(2) Recite the prayer words bestowed by God

The next step is to use the 'Prayer Text'. This is the prayer words directly bestowed by God.
It contains 18 prayers for healing from illness, economic prosperity, marriage, safe childbirth, academic success, etc., and you read the prayer that you need.

By reading the prayer words aloud, each of you becomes a spiritual epicenter and a source of spiritual vibrations, building a golden bridge to the high spirit world.

As a result, various guiding spirits may come to lend their strength.

A Story of Prayer (3) Miraculous Experiences with 'Prayer Text'

What kind of power does Happy Science's 'Prayer Text' have? Here are two examples that illustrate this.

The developed system reached an astonishing level of completion!

K.T. (Tokyo, System Engineer, 50s)

In November 2017, I started developing a system used by banks. However, it became very difficult, with many errors occurring.

'This is bad,' I thought, and I stopped by a Happy Science branch, praying for the success of the project and receiving the prayer for success (included in 'Prayer Text 1').

Then, for some reason, unbelievable mistakes and errors occurred. I was bewildered, thinking, 'Why is this happening even though I received the prayer!?' and others around me were saying, 'What happened to the database team?'

However, that became the trigger for revealing many latent system issues that had not been visible until then. We were able to respond proactively.

As a result, since the cutover (start of system operation), there have been no troubles or major mistakes, resulting in a complete 'calm state'.
Normally, things do not go this smoothly. I can only think that the angels of the heavenly realm taught us the system's problems through the errors, and I am very surprised by the power of prayer.

My neck pain was cured in an instant!

Anonymous (Tokushima Prefecture, 70s)

In April 2014, while driving, I was violently hit from behind by another car. My car was thrown forward and was completely wrecked. Fortunately, I survived, but I ended up with whiplash, suffering from severe neck pain and dizziness.

After being discharged from the hospital, my symptoms did not improve even after seeing a doctor, so in July, I decided to have the branch chief of Happy Science pray for me. The branch chief used the "Prayer for Healing" and "Prayer to Drive Away Evil Spirits" from "Prayer Document 1" to pray for me, and then showed me a video of the meditation guidance by the founder of Happy Science, Ryuho Okawa.

Then, what happened? Light emanated from Mr. Okawa's hands and seemed to penetrate my body, and I heard a "crack" in my neck, and it was healed right there. Even after removing the supporter, there was no pain at all. Soon after, the dizziness also disappeared. Later, I visited the doctor again, but there were no issues, and the doctor was surprised. It may be hard to believe, but I was truly healed.
