A prayer for every day
Communing with God in prayer every day is a wonderful thing
Prayers can be long and rambling or short and to the point. You may be spending a long time in quiet just listening, or you can have a short emergency prayer in a time of need. If your prayer is sincere it is accepted. The only prayers not welcomed by God are those ones in public which are designed to impress the listeners with one's erudition. The more in need you are the more likely you are to pray. God is more willing to hear our prayers, than we are to pray.

Power of Prayer
The Prayer
Praying is a daily ritual for you when you begin the day, for your children at morning assembly in school, a nearly whole day-long exercise for your grandmother. It is common to all religions, so we have something in common with every community. And if youve ever wondered what praying is all about.  Prayer is not only worship; it is also an indistinguishable discharge of mans worshipping spirit the most prevailing form of energy that one can generate. The authority of prayer on the human mi...

The Basics of Prayer
Prayer - A Natural Expression of Our Love for God
Prayer is the easiest way for us to communicate with God. Yet we often make it far more difficult than it really is. It should come very naturally. We talk to people every day and speaking to God should be easy and natural. God loves us. He is deeply interested in everything we do. He wants us to talk to Him and share all those thoughts and feelings which we experience every day. It is true that God is all knowing and knows what we will say before we say it, but He doesn't want to just read...

The Power Of Prayer
Does God really hear my prayers? It's a question that everyone has asked at one point or another in their life, whether they were raised in a religious home or not. From the religious extremist to the hard-core atheist, I believe it's one question that EVERYONE will ask at some point in their life, whether publicly or in the privacy of their very own heart.

The Spiritual Discipline of Prayer
Prayer-Where Our Lives Begin
This lens is the third in a larger series on the Christian Spiritual Disciplines. As we travel through our Christian faith we begin to see more and more our need for prayer. We realize that it is our lifeline and our nourishment. We understand that prayer lifts our spirit to God, prayer sets up the Kingdom of God within us, and prayer gives us freedom to be set apart in the Lord. Jesus' disciples knew this and they wanted to communicate with God the way he did so they asked him how to pray. W...

St Anthony of Padua
How Miracles Entered My Life
I met St Anthony longtime ago. That time nobody talked about the law of attraction. My mother thought me that when I have a problem to go pray to St Anthony. 'He will help you in ways you couldn't believe,' she said. 'Right at the moment when you cannot see how your wish could be accomplished, you will see the miracle.' She had right. Since then I sow a lot of miracles in my life. Anytime I prayed to St Anthony I received what I asked for in ways I would never have thought. In order to wit...

Prayers for Peace & Goodwill
Pax et Bonum - Inspiration for Prayers for Peace & Goodwill
My youngest daughter brought me this pretty little tile from one of her trips to Italy. Pax et Bonum translates to Peace and Goodwill and I have it sitting where I can see it often. I've written about my favorite prayer in White Cloud's Prayer but there are other prayers, poems and meditations that I also value. Mostly Peace Prayers. I hope you enjoy them. .

Christian Growth: The Prayer Factor
The Importance of Prayer
We are told over and over again communication is the key to any good relationship. That certainly rings true in our spiritual life. Prayer is an attitude of worship and thanksgiving. It is communication with the One who loves us. The more time we spend in prayer, the more we learn about Him and get to know Him. Then we begin seeing things from His perspective.

Ever wondered if your prayers are heard? Ever wonder if you're praying the "right" way? Ever struggled with maintaining a consistent prayer life? Prayer for the Christian is so simple even a small child can pray and so deep that you could spend a lifetime plumbing the depths of conversation and communion with God. Over the years of exploring Christian prayer I've found that the style of prayer that developed in the ancient Celtic church was like a breath of fresh air and very relevant to mo...
