The Power of Prayer

Prayer is a communication between the universe and yourself that recognizes the divinity in both. It is focused energy directed to God/Source/Great Spirit, and when developed in a healthy way, is an essential part of the foundation for the journey on the spiritual path.

All forms of prayer-formal, informal, casual, elegant, spoken, silent-are acceptable, and all are heard. There is no right way to pray. If the intention comes from the heart and you understand the laws of energy and the laws of attraction, the results from prayer can be truly miraculous.

The powerful energy of prayer not only connects you to the Force greater than self, but it stimulates the power of creative energy within you, putting into action your ability to create. By literally merging energy with Creator, you step beyond limitation and into the realm of possibility. Prayer is a powerful means of adding energy to one's desires. And every time you pray, you add layers of energy to your desires. With increased faith and trust, the faster the thought forms that emerge manifest into physical reality. A higher vibration of joy and the more focus on the desired outcome of the prayer (instead of the current problem), the faster the request will appear.

Gratitude, love, and appreciation are all expressions of prayer, and when expressed, help you center yourself and give nourishment to the soul. Prayer recognizes your divine connection, reconnects you with your own holiness, and nurtures your relationship with Spirit. Prayer literally takes you out of the fragile and limiting vessel where your soul is held and the linear mind is in control, and into the nonlinear space of Spirit. It allows you to open up and to expect that things can be created that do not yet exist, even things beyond your current grasp.

The act of prayer is an expression of your confidence in a larger divine order and in the significance of your own existence. It expresses a faith in life and life's experiences. As you walk the spiritual path, you develop a respect for a Force greater than self. You learn to love life in all of its forms and to treat life with respect and reverence. Prayer becomes an overt way to express this growing awareness to yourself and to the universe.

The longing of the soul for connection is answered in prayer. It is the foundation for spiritual connection. If you desire connection, prayer must be built into your life in a way that will withstand the daily pressures and interruptions of life. The quantity of time is not important, but the priority is.
