Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 prof laxmi narain (prof_narain) Source and courtesy: Sri Ramana Kendram, Hyderabad This article was published in Sri Ramana Jyothi, monthly magazine of the Kendram INCREDIBLE POWER OF PRAYER: Prayer is an earnest hope or a wish, a request for help or expression of thanks made to God. Petition is that kind of prayer which begs for determinate objects. Supplication is when things sought are indeterminate. Imploration is a solemn representation of the grounds on which we dare to ask a favour. Thanksgiving is the returning of thanks for benefits received. Amongst all the means of salvation recommended by Jesus Christ, the first place is given to prayer. God makes innumerable promises to the person who prays – `Cry to me and I will hear you'; `Ask and it shall be given to you'; `Seek and you shall find'; `Knock and it shall be opened to you'. The prayer of one who humbles himself shall pierce the clouds. The prayer of a humble soul penetrates the heavens and presents itself before the throne of God. Families that pray together stay together. - http://spirituality.indiatimes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
