Prayer is a thought, a belief, a feeling, arising within the mind of the one praying.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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 means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.
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.
Prayer opens the heart to God, and it is the means by which the soul, though empty, is filled by God.
Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.
Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.
Prayer is where the action is.
Prayer is not so much the means whereby God's will is bent to man's desires, as it is that whereby man's will is bent to God's desires.
My impression, is that prayer is one of the most basic forms of magic. That it's harnessing the powers of your mind.
A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.
