Prayer: An Anthology

Prayer After reading the post and comments, I felt some insight was in order. First of all, it does not matter what words you use to describe how you pray because prayer should be done with the understanding you are talking to G-d and how you think at a particular time. You can cry out one day and laugh to G-d the next. Praying is not about just what we need or want, or at least it should not be the only thing. Prayer is our conduit to an inner relationship with our Heavenly Father. Speak to Him about everything. Praying the prayers in a Siddur are a basic outline to help you remember to Bless G-d and thank Him for everything, but it should not stop there. Rabbinical thought is for 100 prayers a day. In other words, talk to G-d regularly throughout your day. Sure we can pray for what we want and need, but let's remember prayer also includes asking for the needs and wants of others, thanksgiving, blessing, and general conversation. The Torah has many examples for us to see. Reply

prayer Prayer is the inner cry of what we think we want or need. It is something we feel needs to happen. We hope G_d will agree with us and give it to us. But maybe his answer comes through blessing us with tears or pain that causes us to grow in our character. His ways are so much higher than ours. Yet He listens, hears, and answers....Hmm. Reply

Prayer is equivalent to You get what you ask for In other words, real praying is equivalent to the phrase "what you are innerly asking for". So the output of prayer is "you get what you are innerly asking for" or "you get what you are innerly concentrating upon". Your own inner energy is a magnet that attracts a reality pursuant of what you are innerly or actually believing; not what you are thinking you are believing. Reply
