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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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 is a thought, a belief, a feeling, arising within the mind of the one praying.
Prayer in any form is efficacious because it is an action. It will, therefore, have a result. That is the law of this universe in which we find ourselves.
My impression, is that prayer is one of the most basic forms of magic. That it's harnessing the powers of your mind.
By my definition, prayer is consciously hanging out with God. Being with God in a deliberate way.
Prayer is our invitation to God to intervene in the affairs of earth. It is our request for Him to work His ways in this world.
Prayer opens the heart to God, and it is the means by which the soul, though empty, is filled by God.
Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you.
Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.
Prayer is more than meditation. In meditation the source of strength is one's self. When one prays he goes to a source of strength greater than his own.
