Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Why is prayer important? This is something that I think about a lot. The importance of prayer is of importance to me! Here are some Sunday morning thoughts that I’d like to share. First, prayer is important to me because it refocuses my perspective. Without prayer, I see only the visible. When I chant the Maha Mrtyunjaya Mantra each Saturday, I can feel God showing me the hidden dimensions of life.Second, it quiets my fears and calms my nerves. I may come to Prayer Club fearful and anxious, but when I give my worries to the chanting, to Shiva, I come away calmed and assured.Third, prayer transfers my burdens. It takes the big load I've been carrying and shifts it to the shoulders that can handle its weight.Fourth prayer upholds others who are in need. It is the way I can help bear the burdens of others and lift them to the One who knows best.For me, this morning, those are some reasons why I think prayer is important and why our Saturday Prayer Club is very important. Please feel free to share your thought s on the question: Why is prayer important?Jai Maa! Jai Shiva! Jai Swamiji! ****************************************************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
