Jaya Jagannath,
Our body is like a vehicle and the sole being the driver. As only an
awakened and conscious driver can drive a vehicle safely to
destination, A state of surrender to devotion with true spiritual
rhythmic concentration or prayer is the only wonderful experience to
awaken our sole drive us till Moksha.
Prayer is a spiritual understanding of Wisdom. It is the
thanksgiving for all the ways GOD blesses us. It is the most natural
and brilliant meditative means of nourishing and refining our soul
causing it to flourish and prosper. Prayer strengthens our body and
heart by expelling harmful acidic chemicals from it. Prayer keeps
evil souls away, cleanses curses, erases sins, opens all doors of
goodness, quicker healing of people from depression, anxiety, and
even terminal illnesses. Prayer strengthens our relationships too.
When we pray for those we know and love, it helps us to understand
that person bit better. It allows us to be more patient and
understanding in frustrating situations, and knowing that He will
answer our prayers in His time makes it easier. By keeping up an
acquaintance with God and of growing in the knowledge of God, prayer
purifies our attitude, perception, feelings, and thoughts.
There are five types and styles of prayer. Prayer can be prayer of
praise, prayer of thanksgiving, prayer of confession or prayer of
supplication (asking for help ), the intercessory prayer, where we
ask God to care for another person or part of his creation. Four
styles of prayer are devotional (scripture-based prayer ),
spontaneous prayer ( that naturally flows from our hearts almost
without thinking anything ), conversational prayer, prayer of
action( where some people hurt or give pain to themselves to express
their devotion ).
Prayer is the means of communication with the heavenly GOD Father.
It can not only be song alone or in group, but also can also be
experienced by silent meditation and thus time just spent between an
individual and the supreme GOD. May he be in any form, but praying
the almighty majestic GOD raises your life values. Please make
prayer an uncompromised schedule of your daily routine. Jaya
Jagannath.
