how prayer works and how to use it

saturday 7 may 1pm-5pm

Prayer is a natural response for people faced with an apparently impossible task or situation that seems to require a greater power than they possess. There are many such situations that come our way.
In our own lives there are times when we feel powerlessly caught in the storms of life, and need strength, guidance and inspiration.

There are times when we have a heartfelt desire to help others, but feel that words and actions alone are not enough.

There are times when we would like to change the world, but seem helpless in the face of world events-war, conflict, inhumanity, disease and natural disasters.

At times like these, prayer is a simple and effective way to draw on powers greater than we are. Prayer gives us a way to have a powerful effect on thought, motive, emotion, inspiration and the subtle planes; we simply attract these powers to ourselves and send them out to others, or to the world as a whole. Coming, as they do, from a Source that is much greater than we are, such energies may be said to have a divine origin, to be spiritual powers.

There are various types of prayer and various ways to pray, depending on our objective; they are, however, all quite simple, sharing certain basic principles.The beauty of prayer is that, in one degree or another, it always works-sometimes with, apparently, miraculous results.
