  • Prayer can be a part in the act of worshiping or revering. Prayer is a simple and honest wish or request for help or an expression of thanks or greetings. Pray a little everyday. Say hello to your long lost loved ones. Have a nice meaningful conversation.
    What prompts a person to pray to God? A time of need usually prompts a person to pray. But there are many other reasons why people pray. Most are self-centered. A silent prayer is the best way to communicate with God and with his helpers who can help you. Praying builds and strengthens the link between you and the spirit world. The more you pray, the stronger the connection. The spirit world does not need a "voice". It can hear your thoughts "loudly". It is best not to show off to people that you "know" how to pray. Praying loudly in front of people you do not know can lead to vanity. Vanity is empty. Vanity will always remain as the favorite "sin" of the devil. It is easy to fall for Vanity. It is more difficult to be humble. Humility is acceptance. Humility is "quiet pride", it is between the individual and God. Once humility takes on a "voice" it leans towards vanity.
    • Pray not to ask God for forgiveness,,, God already forgave you.
      • Apology is important in life. Learn to apologize sincerely. Ask those who you offended for forgiveness and learn to forgive those who offended you. Forgive yourself, after your atonement do not dwell in guilt, "Move on".
    • Pray not to say "thank you" to God..... God does not need your gratitude. He wants you to share your goodwill or your prosperity.
      • Thank those who where there for you when you needed them. Be kind.
    • Pray not to ask God for strength... God already gave you strength, you just need to learn how to use it.
      • Ask for guidance from your loved ones. The love that binds you will give you strength.
      • Respect humanity and all that is around you. Do not expect respect, give it.
    • Pray not to ask for prosperity....Anything and everything that you want or could possibly want has already been provided and presented to you or laid out for you by God. You have to make your move to help yourself.
    • If you must pray to ask for help, pray to your long lost loved ones. Death did not curtail your love. Communicate with him/her through prayer. He/She is there, always willing and able to help you. Communicate and reach out. Keep the bond alive.
    • Pray not to ask for peace..... The ability to attain peace is in the hands of humanity. We created the chaos, we can correct it.
    • Pray to stay calm and be with GOD.
      • God is always with you. Calmness will allow you to experience God. Calmness leads to true balance and happiness.
