Healing Prayer Circles Join in The Power of Prayer
The power of prayer is simply amazing. Healing prayer circles join friends and family to pray for specific prayer requests in tough times. The news media and scientists have researched the fact that people who pray daily live longer and happier lives.
It doesn't matter what faith you are, praying is a great way to talk to your Higher Power. Whether you call this connection "Father, Son and Holy Ghost", "HP", "Great Spirit" or "Love" --any name that works for you, the power of prayer brings you closer to your divine nature and your connection to spiritual power.
It is not uncommon to find surgeons who pray right before each surgery. They ask that their hands be guided to heal and not to harm. They find this relaxing practice effective and their spiritual bond stronger.
Praying does not have to be an extremely formal thing. You do not have to be in a specific place or position in order to pray. Think of it more like having an ongoing conversation with God. Pray when traffic stresses you out, when you want to give thanks, when you need a friend, no matter where you are at the time.
Meditation is a wonderful tool for listening, but in times where you want to communicate turn toward prayer. Rather than listening for answers as in meditation, through praying you are communicating what you wish. Sometimes that still, small voice with which spirit or God communicates can not be heard for all the hustle and bustle of the busy lives we live. This is why meditation is helpful because in a very subtle voice spirit, God, your guides or angels can make themselves heard.
One of the most popular prayers of all time is the Prayer of St. Frances of Assisi, or as some mistaken St. Francis:
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Join in with the millions of people who access the power of prayer every single day and you may be pleasantly surprised at how your life changes. You may also find the beautiful prayer of St. Frances (St. Francis as known by some) will comfort you during these times of war and unrest.
