Inspirational Thoughts about:

"In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart." - John Bunyan

___

It's the meaning behind the action that speaks volumes. When we perform an act there is always an intention behind it. Are we nice to a person because we might want something from them, or are we nice with no strings attached, because that's how we believe people should be treated? Do we buy ourselves nice things because we feel prosperous, or do we do it to fill a void or compensate for something else? Whether we're thinking of our intentions or not, they exist. They testify about who we are, and what we stand for.

And it is no different when we pray. Some of the most beautiful aspects of prayer are the honesty, humility and love that reside at its core. The very essence of our prayers comes from our hearts; in there lie all of our finest, most caring intentions.

This manner of thought is a relief to many because it means a prayer doesn't need to be elegant, fluid, long or short. It only needs to have some heart behind it, and that's what makes it perfect. Prayer can even just be a state of being or awareness. As simple as a loving thought towards others, a feeling of thankfulness, or an affirmation of the beauty and good in the world around us.

There have been many, many standardized or official prayers from many religions over the course of time. The prayers of the world are truly positive, and truly powerful. And the common element in all of them, and in all who recite them, is the special energy that dwells there.

When we put our heart into our own personal prayers, they take flight and make their way right to Source. Simple and effective. We can't help but to notice that it feels just right.

Spiritual Growth reflections:
  1. What's my particular style of prayer?
  2. When I pray, what are the types of intentions I can consciously identify?
