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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For me, in my Christian belief, prayer is not an opportunity to manipulate God into doing what you want him to. Prayer is an opportunity to have a conversation with God to try to get in tune with what his will is.
Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.
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 is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment.
Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.
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 opens the heart to God, and it is the means by which the soul, though empty, is filled by God.
A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.
Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.
Prayer is a thought, a belief, a feeling, arising within the mind of the one praying.
