I think one thing is that prayer has become more useful, interesting, fruitful, and... almost involuntary in my life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think of prayer as a spiritual lifeline back to where I most want to be.
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.
Prayer doesn't just change things - it changes us. If we are diligent in seeking God, slowly and surely we become better people.
Prayer becomes more meaningful as we counsel with the Lord in all of our doings, as we express heartfelt gratitude, and as we pray for others.
My impression, is that prayer is one of the most basic forms of magic. That it's harnessing the powers of your mind.
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 aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.
Prayer in the hour of need is a great boon. From simple trials to our Gethsemanes, prayer - persistent prayer - can put us in touch with God, our greatest source of comfort and counsel.
God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.
For me, prayer is not so much me setting out a shopping list of requests for God to consider as it is a way of 'keeping company with God.'
