The Reality Check You Need
I wish I could tell you life is easy, that a quick prayer and good intentions are enough to see you through. But if that were true, you wouldn’t be here reading this, desperate for change. If you’re at your breaking point, good. That’s the best place to start. What I’m about to share is not a magic formula, but a practical, no-BS ritual that has the potential to shift your life. It will take discipline, and it will push you to your limits. But if you’re willing to commit for just one month, I promise you — something will change.
Don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re the only one going through tough times. People everywhere are struggling — emotionally, financially, spiritually. You’re not alone. But the question is, are you going to stay stuck in that struggle, or are you ready for a breakthrough?
Why Does It Feel Like God Isn’t Listening to My Prayers?
Personal Story: Years ago, I was at a low point, feeling completely abandoned by God. I had prayed, begged, and pleaded for a breakthrough, but nothing changed. The real problem? My prayers were shallow and filled with desperation, not faith. I was treating God like a last resort, not the Almighty.
But then, one day, I realized the truth — my prayers weren’t effective because I wasn’t praying from a place of faith. I was praying from a place of fear. The moment i learn how to pray I shifted that — when I started praying not to beg but to align my will with God’s — things began to change.
The Tough Answer: Most people pray from a place of fear, not faith. Dr. Joe Dispenza’s research shows that when you pray with doubt, your brain emits mixed signals, blocking your blessing. You’re saying, “Please, God, help me,” while doubting He will. This internal conflict creates resistance.
You may think that you’ve prayed long enough for something, and yet, you haven’t seen results. That’s because you’re not truly believing that what you’re asking for can come to pass. Faith isn’t about saying the right words; it’s about truly trusting God’s power to deliver. It’s about getting rid of the doubts that cloud your prayers.
Biblical Insight: James 1:6 says, “But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” If your prayers aren’t working, it’s time to get brutally honest: Are you praying with genuine faith, or are your words empty, filled with fear?
What to Do Differently: Start praying as if the thing you’ve been asking for is already here. Start thanking God in advance for the breakthrough you’re about to receive. Speak to your situation with authority and faith. When you say, “God, I trust You,” mean it. And if doubt rises, speak to that doubt and silence it.
I’m Desperate for a Breakthrough, But I Feel Stuck. Is Fasting Really Necessary?
Harsh Reality: Let’s not sugarcoat this — fasting is uncomfortable. It feels like torture when you’re used to satisfying every craving. But if what you’ve been doing hasn’t worked, it’s time to try something different. Fasting is a way of starving your ego, breaking your dependency on physical comforts, and creating space for spiritual transformation. If you’ve been stuck in a cycle, fasting is one of the most powerful ways to break free.
It’s not easy to stop feeding your body and soul with distractions. But that’s exactly what fasting does. It allows you to recalibrate, refocus, and receive the breakthrough that’s waiting for you. Your mind and spirit are clogged with the clutter of daily life. Fasting clears that space, allowing your prayers to be heard with clarity.
Personal Story: The first time I did a 3-day fast, I hated it. On Day 1, I was irritable and angry. By Day 2, I felt weak and vulnerable, but then a deep peace set in. By Day 3, I was crying, not from hunger, but from the realization of how much junk I had been carrying inside my heart. The fast didn’t just cleanse my body; it cleansed my soul.
Scientific Backing (Dr. Joe Dispenza): Dispenza’s research shows that fasting triggers autophagy, a process where your body detoxifies and repairs itself. Spiritually, it allows you to clear the clutter and focus your prayers with laser-like precision. When you take the time to empty yourself of all distractions — food, screens, noise — your spirit becomes more attuned to God’s voice. You are aware of the silence that give life to sound.
Bible Reference: Jesus fasted for 40 days before starting His ministry (Matthew 4:1-2). If even Jesus needed fasting for clarity and strength, why would you think you don’t?
How to Start: Begin with a 3-day fast. On Day 1, focus on repentance and ask God to reveal what’s blocking His blessings. On Day 2, seek divine guidance and listen in silence. On Day 3, claim your breakthrough with prayers of thanksgiving, believing it is already done. Don’t be surprised if you experience discomfort — that’s part of the process. But stick with it. The breakthrough is on the other side of that discomfort.

Isn’t That Just Superstition?
No-Nonsense Answer: If you think lighting a candle is superstitious, then you’ve missed the point. Prayer candles aren’t about magic; they’re about focus, intention, and faith. The flame represents your prayer burning before God’s throne. It’s a physical act that aligns your spirit with your prayer. It’s a tool — not an end in itself, but a way to amplify your connection with God.
Personal Story: I used to dismiss prayer candles. But when I tried lighting a simple white candle during prayer, something shifted. The candle became a focal point, a symbol of my commitment to God. Every time I looked at that flame, I felt peace, as if God’s presence was right there with me. It wasn’t the candle; it was my faith, amplified.
Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Perspective: Dispenza explains that physical anchors like candles help your brain associate a specific environment with a new state of being. When you light a candle, you signal to your mind that it’s time to enter a prayerful, meditative state. It’s not about the candle itself; it’s about what it represents — focus, intent, and connection to the divine.
How to Use Prayer Candles: Choose a white candle for purity, blue for peace, or green for prosperity. Before you light it, say a prayer: “Lord, as this flame burns, let my faith burn bright before You.” Keep the candle lit during your prayer time as a reminder of your focused intention. Let the flame guide your thoughts and actions, helping you stay connected to God’s will.
What If I Try This and Nothing Happens? Isn’t That Proof It Doesn’t Work?
The Tough Challenge: If you go into this expecting it not to work, it won’t. If you’re already looking for an excuse to quit, you’ll find one. Breakthroughs require radical faith and action. Most people give up before they see results because they aren’t willing to endure discomfort.
The truth is, breakthroughs don’t come to those who sit back and wait for them. They come to those who endure, who stay the course when things get tough. If you think that this is going to be easy, you’re in for a wake-up call. But if you stay consistent, if you commit fully for one month, you will see change.
Personal Story: I almost gave up on these practices once. I prayed, fasted, lit candles, and still saw no change. I was ready to go back to my old ways until I realized I was still trying to control the outcome. The moment I surrendered fully, everything changed. Doors started opening that I hadn’t even knocked on.
Eckhart Tolle’s Take: Tolle teaches that surrender is the key to peace. When you let go of your attachment to the outcome and trust fully, you create space for God’s will to unfold.
Final Word: Commit to these practices for one month. Fast, pray, light your candle, and expect a breakthrough. If nothing changes, walk away. But if you see even the smallest shift, keep going. This isn’t a magic formula; it’s a test of your faith and willingness to trust God fully.
