Guest guest Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Prayers Most of us pray to God either regularly or occasionally. But some people ask, "Why should you pray? Does not God know your need and should not he help you unasked?” Indeed he knows and yet often waits for your prayer because if he always sends the required help without being asked, you may very well be deluded into thinking that the help was only a coincidence or chance, and not an act of Grace! When you pray and get a response you feel closer to God, and are inspired by God’s Love expressed in the response. Others ask, “Why should you use standard prayers? Can’t you use your own words?” You can certainly use your own words whenever you are inspired. However, the prayers used by saints and gurus, or taught by Avatars, have a special power invested in them. These prayers, using seed-sounds and/or mantras, are infused with special vibrations, the efficacy of which has been demonstrated through the ages. In spite of using such prayers, often people find that their purposes are not served. Why? Sometimes, because prayer will not overcome karma. Otherwise, because for the success of a prayer it is necessary, indeed essential, that it comes from the Heart, not merely from the lips. It must be an expression of a deep need and not greed. Also, if you have not been grateful for the Grace may not be shown again. Other times your problems or suffering may be allowed to continue in order to develop your inner strength or to help you to learn valuable lessons. Is an intermediary required to pray on your behalf? No! If you pray from your Heart to the Loving Heart of this Living Universe, it is heard immediately and answered appropriately!
