I believe that prayer is a gift given to us at birth, a gift that allows our thoughts to manifest into reality based on our faith. When we pray, who are we praying to? Most will say that we are praying to God for help, guidance and abilities. Over the centuries’ organized religion has confused the concept of prayer due to a confused concept of God.
Wars are still being fought to prove whose God is the greatest. Man’s interpretation of God has all too often been used to determine when and how one prays. Many have moved from a religious interpretation of God to a spiritual interpretation of God, making prayer more of an act of faith than a religious act.
A spiritual interpretation of God allows one to understand that God is no different than gravity there is no discrimination; if a Jew, a Muslim and a Christen jump off a roof the universal law of gravity will apply to each one, the unconditional love of God or the universal mind is no different. The ancient Egyptians considered God to be energy or The All.
Modern science has proven that all things are energy, and energy is all things. Ancient prophets considered the human body to be the Temple of God. Many of those prophets were put to death by the same people who then built temples to worship them.
In prayer the subconscious mind is the human connection to God or the mind of the universe. Joseph Murphy describes prayer in his book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, this way: “Prayer is the synchronized, harmonious, and intelligent function of the conscious and subconscious levels of mind specifically directed for a definite purpose”.
Murphy goes on to say “In prayer you consciously choose a certain idea, mental picture, or plan which you desire to experience. You realize your capacity to convey this idea or mental image to your subconscious by feeling the reality of the state assumed. As you remain faithful in your mental attitude, your prayer will be answered”. The key word is faith.
Prayer is an important self-healing tool. Any method which causes you to move from fear and doubt to faith and expectancy will heal”. Prayer can not only be a tool for self-healing it can also be used as a vehicle to heal others. As you read this dialog there are many people across the country and right next door who are in need of help both physical and spiritual.
Use your gift of prayer to send positive energy to those who have within the past few days have lost all of their material possessions, your prayers can send positive energy that will assist in strengthening their spiritual fortitude to face the next phase of their life’s journey. During this time of need for so many, don’t under-estimate the power of your gift of prayer.
I was in the hospital having a surgical procedure on my colon. I am home now the surgery was successful and I would like to thank my family, friends and associates for their prayers. There is power in Prayer.
