"Prayer need not be in words,
but rather in thought and attitude.
~Abdu'l Bahá
I actually spend a great deal
of time thinking about prayer.
As a child, we had family prayer
each evening, as well as solo
prayer time. It was nice.
I've come to understand that prayer
is much more comprehensive than
"Now I lay me down to sleep." That,
"Oh God, give me a hand here." as
you look heavenward is a prayer
although maybe a tad disrespectful.
Down for the night, your thoughts
for you only . . . a prayer; make no
mistake.
I sit by the fire of an evening and
meditate. It's a lovely way to embark
on the prayer state. For me though,
next thing I know, I'm actually talking
to my father. So hope God doesn't
mind.
Bottom line, prayer is most likely a
different story for each of us. Embark
on it, use it, and frankly, it doesn't
really matter who's on the other end
of the line.
