Prayer is the tried and true way to connect with God. It is communion with God. When we pray we turn our attention to the presence of God and remember our oneness with Him. We release outer concerns and open ourselves to God's love, wisdom and guidance.
Prayer requires no special training, no specific methodology, no essential words. It can be long or short, spoken or silent, formal or informal. The important thing is the intent of your own heart.
There are many ways to pray; yes, and they make a difference. Whether we plead, sing, praise, write, rejoice, give thanks, whisper in our souls, or shout it out, we are connecting with God and thereby we are changed.
Prayer softens our heart and sets our course aright. It heals us at depth, changes our perspective, and expands our awareness. It reminds us that outer appearances are simply that - appearances. Truth lies within.
Since the beginning of time, people of all civilizations have prayed.
When human circumstances seem overwhelming we instinctively turn to prayer. There is something comforting about taking time out to commune with a Higher Power to savor sweet luxury of special moments of conscious awareness of God. The soul seeks the experience of raising itself to a spiritual level, where it can think and feel from it's innate divinity. These heightened moments satisfies and gives us the strength to go forward, the joy to warm our hearts and comfort to ease our sorrows.
