The law of attraction is not new. However it has received a lot of attention in recent years. Jesus Christ said 'Ask and it is given unto you' Matthew 7:7
The question is, what is the right way to ask and why? This is an obvious question because many people ask and get exactly what they don't want!
There is an 'art' to asking for what you want and it's not as intuitive as most people believe it is. Asking is just part of the equation. The process of asking although simple involves using the natural laws of the universe to your advantage and knowing how to ask in the right way.

Law of Attraction. Who Shall We Ask?
The Law of Attraction works no matter who you ask! This is a puzzlement to religious individuals with strong faith in their God. If you're Christian you would ask Jesus. If you're Jehovah's Witness you would ask Jehovah or Yahweh. If you're a Moslem you would ask 'Allah'. If you're spiritual but not religious you might ask 'the universe' or your higher self for what you want. One God is not better than another when it comes to attracting what you want. In fact a belief in God is optional.
Are you sceptical that God is not required? It's understandable if you have strong religious beliefs. The Law of Attraction does not require a 'God' in order to work but if you have one that gives you comfort, happiness, and sense of security continue to pray to your God for assistance. When you understand how the natural Laws of Attraction work, you will see that faith in your God will enhance your ability to attract what you want. It will compliment your faith and make it stronger because you will begin to see the results you're looking for. The Law of Attraction will teach you how to pray to your God in order to be heard and get the things you want.
Law of Attraction. What Shall We Ask For?
Sometimes we ask for things not because we want them but because we want to please other people. If this is the case, perhaps we could ask for love or acceptance instead of the things we think we want. e.g. if you want more money ask yourself why. Is it because you want to buy things for your enjoyment or happiness? Are you looking for security? Are you looking forward to retirement and want to be sure you have enough? Or do you want to impress someone? Do you want power and influence? What is it that you really want?
Law of Attraction. Ask But Be Very Clear As What You Want
Many people do not get what they ask for because they're not clear about what they want! It's just like going to a restaurant. Don't be surprised if you get nothing at all if you don't tell the person waiting on you exactly what you want!
Usually people ask for what they want but what they ask for is too vague. e.g. they might ask for 'a lot of money'. What does that mean? Is it a $100 or $100 billion dollars or something in between???
Other people are very clear about what they want but they don't believe what they're asking for is possible. e.g. I'd like to have $250,000 in my bank account by the end of this year, ... but that's impossible or that's not going to happen or who am I kidding? ... etc.
Other people issue contradictory statements such as I'd like to have $250,000 in my bank account by the end of this year and money won't bring you happiness or people are never happy no matter how much money they have. Or I want to be married to a beautiful woman who loves me just the way I am, BUT all the good women are taken or you can't trust people these days. When you have conflicting thoughts and beliefs your God or higher power can't give you want you want.
Law of Attraction. Ask and Know It Is Already Given
When you 'ask' for what you want it's important to state your desires in the right way. In the above examples we said, 'I'd like to have' or we could say 'I want' or 'I desire'. These words set you up for failure. The correct way to 'ask' is to state what you want as if you already have it! e.g. we would say 'I have $250,000 in my bank account' or 'my bank account is growing exponentially every day', or 'I am in perfect health' or 'I am feeling better and better' or 'an endless stream of success and prosperity flows my way at all times', ... be creative and phrase what you want in the present tense.
If you want to engage your brain even more, phrase your statements as a question. Why do children learn so fast? Because they're constantly saying that magic word 'why'. When you use the word 'why', your brain is forced to give you an answer even when you're sleeping or thinking about something else. It won't stop thinking until it comes up with an answer it's happy with. If it can't find an answer it will go into an endless loop and that's exactly what you want. This all happens unconsciously without your awareness!
Therefore to add power to your statements you could say, 'Why do I have $250,000 in my bank account', or 'Why am I in perfect health', or 'Why am I feeling better and better each moment', ... This keeps your brain focused on what you want to attract without any conscious effort on your part!
Law of Attraction. You Can't Have Anything If You Want It!
The spiritual truth is that you can't have what you 'want'. Why? Because when you say ' I want', you're amplifying the fact that you don't have what you want! When you say 'I want' you're putting yourself in a position of perpetually wanting things and never getting them. You're putting yourself in a state of 'wanting'. That's why asking for what you 'want' over and over again does not attract your heart's desire.
Jesus did not say 'Ask over and over again'. He said 'Ask - and it is given'. It is the 'and it is given' part that most people ignore. When you ask for something you want, it is just a matter of making a clear statement one time and knowing that it's yours. You must believe that you already have what you want even though it's not in your physical possession at this moment.
There is nothing wrong with focusing and thinking about what you want, however you must believe that it's already yours. There's a big difference if thinking about what you 'want' and seeing in your mind what you already have. i.e. you can think about all the money you 'want' in your bank account and actually seeing the money in your bank!
Yes the money is not physically there yet and if you focus on the lack of money in your bank account it will never appear. You will always be in a state of 'lack'. The Law of Attraction works when you believe you already have what you want. So you can imagine all that cash sitting in your bank account right now. You can imagine how secure and happy you are. You can think about all the things you're buying with this money. You can think about your sense of accomplishment and how good you are feeling right now. etc. ...
Law of Attraction. Using Meditation To Attract What You Want
You can use meditation two ways to get what you want. The first way is to imagine what you want as if it is already here. Use colors, use feelings, use drama, ... whatever it takes to make what you want very real and in your life right now. The other way is simply to stop thinking. When you still the mind, you're able to tap into 'gap' or the space between thoughts. Our thoughts of 'want' keep us in a state of lack. By not thinking we can allow God or spirit to bring what we want into existence in the real world.
Law of Attraction. Using Contentment and Thankfulness To Attract What You Want
When we want something so bad, we are actually pushing what we want away from us. And we forget about all things in our life that brings us happiness right now. Trying too hard never works. The key is to know what you want and let it go. Stop trying to make it happen or control the series of events that will lead up to getting what you want. It's sufficient to know you will get what you want and it's not important to know how it happened.
e.g. you can imagine having $250,000 in your bank account without focusing on how it got there. Perhaps you earned it. Maybe you inherited it. Maybe somebody bought a lottery ticket for you and you won the money. Who knows. If you focus on 'the one way' that it will get there, you're limiting all the other possibilities.
One of the best ways to attract what you want is to be thankful for all the good things in your life right now. Be content with what you have. If there are nine things wrong with your life right now and only one thing that is going right, focus on the one thing that is making you happy right now. By taking your mind off what's going wrong, you're attracting more of what's going right into your life. You're attracting even more happiness into your life!
The way to ask for what you want is to be clear and confident that it is already a done deal. The fact that what you want is not 'reality' yet should not be a problem. You can pretend and imagine that it's already yours. You can imagine how good you feel right now because you 'have' what you wanted in the past.
Or you can simply ask and forget about what you want. Let it go to 'God' or the universe and know that it is done. Letting go, gives you plenty of time to give thanks for all the things in your life that are bringing you happiness right now. This is the way to ask and receive all that you desire. When you ask in this way, it tells God or your higher self to give you more and more happiness.
