---

In the exercise of intercessory prayer, first seek to make contact with the higher power by aspiring to it and dwelling upon its nature and attributes. Then, when you feel the presence of this power--and it is ineffectual to do so before--think of it as protective. Next, think of the person whose protection you seek and place him in the presence and hold him there.
