It\u2019s springtime. It\u2019s commencement at Cornell University. Graduating students are lined up to receive their diplomas. And there, accepting her diploma from the president of the university, is your daughter! Isn\u2019t that great?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, I wish!\u201d the man answered. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of wishing for it,\u201d Peale said, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/words-to-help-you-find-hope-and-strength-in-any-situation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201c<em>hope<\/em> for it. <em>Believe<\/em> in it.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Years later, that father contacted Dr. Peale. After his daughter had earned her degree. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how I want to live, and it\u2019s why I pray. I\u2019ve learned to incorporate hopeful vision and faith-filled imagery into my prayers. When I ask God to heal my two grandchildren <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/healing\/why-you-should-use-your-imagination-when-you-pray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">who cope daily with the challenges of cystic fibrosis,<\/a> I often picture them clearing away their medications and medical equipment, once and for all. <\/p>\n<p>I pray for an upcoming flight and envision myself landing safely\u2014and early\u2014at my destination. <\/p>\n<p>As I remember my children and grandchildren before God\u2019s throne each night, I actually \u201csee\u201d them lying safely and happily in their beds, and sometimes fast forward to the morning when I imagine them rising and energetically heading off to work or school. <\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/inspirational-prayers\/4-positive-habits-created-by-prayer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">positive praying habit<\/a> has served me and mine well for many years and through some dark times. Through it all, I put into mental pictures far more than what I could put into words, and I believe the Holy Spirit translated those images into answered heart prayers.<\/p>\n<p>So why not try it? Is there a river you think is uncrossable? A tunnel you\u2019re sure you can\u2019t tunnel through?
