Prayer is a form of meditation, isn't it? It's laws of attraction: whatever you put out into the universe is what it receives. It's just kind of putting your thoughts out into the universe.

Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.

I've taught a lot about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God.

More than anything, praying just helps me to concentrate and let go of things that don't matter in that moment. It gives me peace knowing I'm in good hands.

God has blessed me with the capacity to meditate even while I am talking.

Prayer is such a basic foundation of a Christian's relationship with God. It's how we communicate and fellowship with Him. But a surprising number of people, young and old, new and even long-time Christians, say they're not satisfied with their prayer life.

Prayer's important, not just as some kind of a metaphysical exercise, but I think it's a way to refresh one's own mind and motive. If you're praying, you're really looking beyond your own personal thoughts and the pressures that are around you.

Surely the principles of Christianity lead to action as well as meditation.

By my definition, prayer is consciously hanging out with God. Being with God in a deliberate way.

I think one thing is that prayer has become more useful, interesting, fruitful, and... almost involuntary in my life.
