What is Prayer? Certainly it is more than these next ten things. It could be twenty-five, fifty or one hundred things. Or it can be broken down to one thing and one thing only: Love.
1) A Daily Act Of Gratitude-An aura of thankfulness accompanies all prayers and makes your inner light shine!
2) An Awareness Of Love's Presence-Praying is an act of Love. Prayer brings out all of the qualities of light and love and filters these through your loving heart. Pray now and Pray often for these wonderful heart filled moments to grow.
3) A Meditation-Prayer is a meditation! As I write my daily prayers, I feel a deep sense of quiet and need for solitude. I cannot write prayers with music in the background, nor can I write them in front of a Television program. Quiet. Stillness. Meditation.
4) A Song-Yes, it is true. Pray is an inner song of the heart. Are you singing to yourself? Is anyone listening? Or are the unseen helpers not only listening, but preparing to usher in a lesson you need to learn related to the prayer you are singing?
5) An Inspiration-Yes, prayers are an inspiration. They can come out of the blue and you must write them down. They can come as you are doing totally unrelated activities such as sweeping, raking leaves, walking in nature, or watching a sunset. They arise while driving a car, during or after exercise, or after an especially luscious meal over a wonderful cup of coffee. Always be ready for them. They wait to be heard. They wait to be shared.
6) A Wish-Perhaps an idle wish can turn into a prayer of the heart: such as a wish for peace on earth, harmony between nations and their people, or the hope that some one you know who is sick may be well.
7) A Yearning-A prayer can be as simple as a tender or urgent longing for justice, compassionate understanding, or just a silent communing with a friend or your favorite animal or tree.
8) A Feeling Of Connectedness-Prayers certainly give a greater sense of connection with everyone in this great cosmic dance. It goes beyond this moment and links you to every moment that has passed or is yet to arrive. And it also gives you the feeling that this very moment is the only moment that there is or ever is, right here, right now.
9) A Dream-Prayers can come to you in a dream. Perhaps the dream itself is a prayer. Perhaps the prayer is a dream. Some practitioners of dreams say that daily life is really a dream, and in this case, prayer can be a conscious form of continual meditation. Prayer is speaking to God. Meditation is allowing God to speak to you. In this way, prayer certainly feels like a dream state.
10) An Angel-Angels are everywhere. People who help or who serve are called Earth Angels. They certainly are prayerful beings. Our guardian angels come to us often in the form of a prayer. When we say a prayer for guidance to our Guardian Angels, they manifest in ways that require an acute awareness of all gifts that come our way after the prayer has been sung.
Be open, awake and receptive. You are surrounded by wings of protection.
