When all else fails - the choice of prayer (ASMR friendly) 

The simplest prayer is to say, "Thank you God." Thank Him for everything even through trials and tribulations because everything is a blessingI I don't even use words when I pray. I telepathically pray in silence, stillness and humbleness. Majestic John, I am grateful to you.🙏

I need you so much at the moment. Unbearable grief after losing my young husband unexpectedly 2 months ago. Thank you for your comforting words. My mental health is off the zone xxxxxxx

2.00am in the morning in despair of prayers unanswered then I listen to this and turn to the light and, yes, smile. Thank you John and Phil

I’ve had such a difficult time praying for so long. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I didn’t realize I could pray without words. That will change everything for me. I love your dear and tender heart, John. You quiet my soul where there is a tempest inside. I’m going through such a difficult time. Thank you for teaching me how to be still. 💜

im a 23 year old guy who is battling mental health, i have been watching your videos for a while now, you help calm my storm. i cant thank you enough for your content! i am trying to put your teachings into practice, do you have any advice?

Thank you John and Phil. I need to let go of getting religion 'right'. Feet on the ground, listen and look.

John, your videos on prayer and meditation have been a wonderful resource for me. I am a teacher, who works with young teens, and my job is naturally very loud. After 10-12 of teaching, coaching, and grading, I was literally hearing the classroom noise when I closed my eyes. Learning to come to stillness and be in the present has made a tremendous difference to me. God has always been present to me in stillness, and I realized after this video that meditation also served as my prayer, as well.

Thank you so much. Your encouragement for praying is so helpful for me. Regina from Munich

🙏❤🌞 Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!

Oh Mr. Butler what a great concept, which I’ve failed miserably at most of my life. I want to be able to live this concept. I will work at it. I’ve mad e it worst most of my life and still do. I will work at surrendering, not criticizing, more acceptance. Thank you and God bless you and all on here.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you John.

John and Phil you have no idea how much I needed to hear this today!! Thank you!!

You are the light in the world, John. Thank you.

Thank you, John.

Lord jesus christ son of God have mercy on me a sinner 🙏 l say this prayer John because I watched your video and l love saying it thank you John God bless you and keep you safe and healthy ☘🙏

Beautiful wisdom. Thank you🙏❤️🕊

Beautiful, truly beautiful

What a beautiful soul this man is

I used to be so close to god. Praying every night and loving reading the bible. Everything seemed to just fall into its place, it all made sense. I feel like I've lost this. When I try to pray I end up zoning out and just going to look at my phone again. The constant stimulation has screwed my attention span, killed my social life, and extremely damaged my motivation. I just pray for everyone out there that they dont fall into the trap I have. I especially pray for next generation, were screwed. To anyone that will listen, avoid pornography with all of your heart, and dont fall into the mindless cycle of tik tok or Instagram reels. Read your bible every night and dont lose that habit. Take care of your body and your mind, and they will take care of you. May the lord Jesus keep us all on the path he has laid out for us. Dont let us stray our own way

Thank you

Learning so much from you 🙏 Thank you John ❤️

Thank you Phil wonderful video God bless you 🙏☘

Thank you for bringing your candle, John...

I only heard the beginning, but always when I hear the tune before the video starts, and see John coming, I already get quiet. It is such wisdom what you say John! I was in a difficult situation and I just thought, I do as you say, get quiet,listen, Thanks again John and Phil,Greetings Maria from Holland

It makes me happy to see your trees were blooming about the same time as ours.

Spring in the parish. I am so glad to see the Ukrainian flag with offerings of daffodils. Enjoy the spring blossoms, John! I dare say the blossoms are giving your cheeks a rosy glow. :)

Your videos are amazingly calming. I have two kids and I’m a small business owner running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Your videos help me relax and unwind while also interesting. Thank you.

I give up with trying & hope our Lord takes me back home soon. Amen.

Beautiful waffle......If I try,really try to examine what John's says that's the conclusion I come to.But I keep coming back for the sound of his voice😤

"Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished" Isaiah 51:6

Beautiful.

I hear the rest of the video later!!

I pray for thanks, for healing, for others for when I'm troubled, for forgiveness or just to say 👋. I am by no means perfect or holier than thou, but prayer keeps me strong and sane, whatever the outcome because it is the communication with God that keeps me connected.

QUE AMOiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii🥰❤💙

So beautiful. So true. So brave to tell.

Phil and John, thanks so much for the walk under the tree so so so so beautiful and yellow lovelies , called flowers , along the way...John, i pray you live long enough to where you have to 'use' that railing on your left as you come walking in past the wonderful gravestones...as a Catholic kid i was taught there are petitionary and non petitionary prayer...i do petitionary prayer now and then ASKING for something like don't let my daughter die, or let my niece not die, or give me good health, or let there be world piece, or let people take their masks off, or let me find a good job and / or get a good night's sleep...i do joy in petitionary prayer with 'no expectations' always ending or thinking to end the prayer with 'Thy Will Be Done'... ...the definitions below are from Websters...for me, each breath is a prayer especially as i center in breath or breath centers in me...the more i center (or just be feet on ground butt in chair) the more i am praying or i am being prayed, so to speak...prayer isn't something i do as much as something i 'get into to' is that makes sense...i like 'request' or 'EXPRESSION'...expressing and impressing...expressing is quite 'selfish prayer' like petitionary prayer is selfish as if 'God' didn't know what to 'do'...for me 'life' is known on the Winds of the All Knowing but not 'determined' just known by design......i don't 'hope' anymore but i 'know' and 'believe'...i don't hope there will be world peace or hope my daughter is happy and successful but i 'know' and / or 'believe' she is successful...i know there will be world piece or believe there will be...'hope' is a despair reaction whereas 'belief' and 'knowing' are a 'centering'...an ongoing APPRECIATION and IMMERSION in natural stillness and 'oneness' is prayer...but the lowest prayer is a asking or petitioning to have things go the way i want them to...i do engage in that daily asking for 'nice things and stuff' but i know how self centered that is...and i guess knowing i'm self centered is prayer enough...what?...thanks you guys...again, thanks for the walk...i just stop the video as John is walking under the tree and love you guys and what you are doing and have done...a couple years from now both of you will be using that railing to be able to support yourselves so you can walk...i trust and pray a long and lovely life for yous...thanks "a solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or an object of worship. "I'll say a prayer for him" a religious service, especially a regular one, at which people gather in order to pray together. "500 people were detained as they attended Friday prayers" an earnest hope or wish. "it is our prayer that the current progress on human rights will be sustained"

You need a Merlin outfit 👍🔥🔥🔥❤️🌛🌚🌜🧙‍♀️ LOVE YOU THANK YOU

Dear John Portugal misses you ❤️

Sometimes we look at in a difficult way. The Bible says be as of a child when you pray. The disciples ask Rabi," teach us to to pray". He said," Our Father who art in Heaven, Hollowed be thy name...

I'm 27, and I always loved fairies. When I was little, I wanted to be one, never realising that I was, when I returned to spirit

Forgiveness peace

How might we send a letter to John?

Grandpa...i love you ❤️♥️

"Guess I'll pray."

We have to have a purpose as born again people. To reach the lost and bring them home.

God bless you John 🙏 ❤️ ❤️...and happy Ramadan 😊. Our fasting month 🙏 ❤️

Prayer is something that has to do with having a relationship with Jesus and kind of having a conversation with Him and it is to bring your problems your fears your doubts to Jesus’ feet

I’m struggling to master the ‘Jesus flip’ skateboard trick. Could John share some advice please

You're the very image of the person that I hope to be someday. At this point in my life I've been in so many relationships, I finished college, own a home now, and what I find is that none of these things that you think will make you happy ever do. I think that happiness starts with inner peace, and inner peace starts with letting go of the past and the future and simply accepting the present and being okay with it. I think that you have mastered that kind of inner, and that's what I want more than fame, or fortune, or more sex, or more money. I think that the greatest thing I hope for in life is just to have a mentality of unshakable peace. Most people never find it.

Prayer is an interesting one.I think deep down we all know that it is a useless and futile attempt to bring into being a result we want. Praying for the well being of others won't change the outcome. We know this. Yet prayer as an action we do individually helps prove to ourselves our own sense of moral authentication. We pray for the well being of others, therefore we must be a good person. When a loved one is ill and we haven't spent the best part of our lives studying medicine and how to cure illnesses, we may start feeling a little useless. We still wish to somehow contribute to their much hoped for recovery but we can't do a single thing about the reality of the situation. So we desperately turn to a wholly unrealistic solution and we get down on our knees, and we place our hands together and we look up to the sky and visualise something beyond it looking upon us, forever ready to listen. Then we do it again the next day and the next day treating God as if they have dementia and we ask for the same thing over and over again until the person recovers or dies anyway. If they survive, our prayers have somehow worked and we cry and thank the Lord for granted our wish. If they die, we quickly rationalise that it was God's plan all along. But at least you tried...

Maybe it's not so much that the world is an illusion but that's it's just not what we think it is, not as it seems.

"Even dragons have their place" 2:29

I dont even think there is a god, but still like his voice....

I wonder if he can remember at all anymore just how often he has repeated himself. Besides, how can creation _be_ perfect if _I_ am part of it and _I_ project the imperfection. If manifestation was perfect, there should be no such I which projects imperfection. It begs the question and answers nothing.

Ok. That's may work for one's own problems. If I gaze too much in my problems they grow bigger; if I look at them from an higher point of view (an higher level of consciousness), they eventually vanish. But what about the prayer for another one's problems? That's the point, mr Butler. The others, our brothers, not we. What have your wisdom to say about? Because, when bad things happens to our brothers, it is of little use an higher level of consciousness which lead ourselves to a more serene state of the mind, a more comprehensive vision of the world: I dare to say it's a selfish vision: it's their burden that we must care of, not the shadow which it cast upon our little insignificant life.

Is mr Butler sure an Anglican? He seems to have an almost mystic relationship with the divine that can be found only in Eastern Orhtodoxy.

Can I pray to St Michael and ask him to successfully return spells and curses back to sender? It's dangerous to allow people to prey on the weak and helpless with curses and spells.

Wait....John received a letter....viewers are allowed to write him?!

Can you please add subtitles?

There is,I believe a world of spirit we can delve into and receive tremendous love,rest, refreshment,wisdom,reinvigoration and many superlatives from.But when come back,as any living person must,to function in the world of matter then material welfare DOES matter and any talk of it not being so is clearly ridiculous!

Wearing my feet on the ground tee shirt 👕

This guy butchers Bible passages out of context but he puts me to sleep fast

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

If you read the Qur'an, you will find all the answers to all questions ❤️🌹

Just playing devils advocate here (pun intended) but what if God doesnt exist ?!? No, seriously. Just for context, i do believe in God but im just saying. then what ??? just perpetual darkness ??

Where’s the goodness in putin?

Stop focusing on the problem, only focus on the outcome you desire. It is pure physics, for God is the quantum field, that pure stillness John raves about. Not some guy in the sky, that you need saved by Jesus. Every great master learned to make still his mind, and only place in thought that which he wanted to manifest. In that stillness called God, is an observer. A potential for all life. It sees your thoughts and desires, then changes itself in frequency to match what it sees. First you must hold the thought to the exclusion of all others. Why do you think it says "Be still, and Know that I Am God" Focus on the out come you desire. John has yet you learn the powerful disciplines that Jesus taught. He is against focusing apparently. Letting your mind wonder and looking at everything is counter to what connects one with the greater mind. It is focused thought into the void. John is a great old man that has learned a lot about himself, that is our goal. To know self at the most intimate level, it is there we find God as ourself. It is pure oneness. You cannot be separate from God. It is impossible, for what did the consciousness called God make all life from, including the dust of the earth? There is only one answer, and that is itself. You are a spark of God, you are consciousness inextricably combined with energy.

Thank you, John.

Thank you
