Prayers

The word "prayer" comes from the Latin precarius, which means "obtained by begging, to entreat." Prayer is rooted in the belief that there is a power greater than oneself that can influence one's life. It is the act of raising hearts and minds to God or a higher power.

Even before the word prayer appeared in spiritual practices, the oldest records of the Christian and Gnostic traditions used words such as communion to describe our ability to speak with the unseen forces of the universe.

Today, modern prayer researchers have identified four broad categories that are believed to encompass all the many ways that we pray. In no particular order, they are: (1) colloquial, or informal, prayers; (2) petitionary prayers; (3) ritualistic prayers; and (4) meditative prayers.

This fifth mode is a prayer that’s based solely in feeling. Rather than the sense of helplessness that often leads us to ask for assistance from a higher power, feeling-based prayer acknowledges our ability to communicate with the intelligent force and participate in the outcome. It is only as effective as the depth of sincerity in our heart. A prayer uttered mechanically, without any real feeling, will be cold and lifeless. A simple emotion, longing for the forgiveness of our own Spirit, will bring more results than the most fantastic or complex recitation.

We pray to the Holy Spirit with a prayer that comes from within our heart; this is how we illuminate ourselves with the sacred fire.

The real prayer is not seen outside or what's happening in the ritual but when you get to an emotional state when you feel the prayer.

FEEL THE FEELING AS THE PRAYER HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.

by doing SO you are opening a possibility of THAT to happen, if you simply wish something than IT is just an acknowledgement.
Example: if you want wind than feel the wing touching your body…
