Prayer
Posted March 3rd, 2011 by TwoJays47
Hi, I just don't remember having heard '"prayer" mentioned in any letters
I've read, and doing a search in the archives didn't bring the word up. My
question may have been already answered. Can you remember what was said?
Is prayer really just our thoughts projected out, by default? Something
like that? Our every thought and feeling is heard, I'm guessing. Is
conscious prayer more powerful?
Thanks,
Joyce
Thanks, TwoJays47, for
Thanks, TwoJays47, for posting your wonderful question! I know God has mentioned prayer. I remember He mentioned once His prayer for us, though I don't remember this moment what His prayer for us was.
God doesn't seem to endorse prayer a whole lot, at least not to the degree that it generally is.
I do remember that he once said something like: Too often prayers are like asking Santa Claus for things. God doesn't want us to feel needy.
Joyce, I expect you will receive many fervent responses to your question. Everybody, please keep religion out of this. Jochen, can you locate some of what God says about prayer?
Prayer
Here are two Heavenletters on prayer. I read the second one only two days ago which is why I remember very well:

Thanks a bunch, beloved
Thanks a bunch, beloved Jochen. I don't see two.
Will someone post here the gist of each Heavenletter or a pertinent passage? Thank you!
Could it be that you did not
Could it be that you did not scroll down? Or does the system not allow you to follow the link? Or did you not click it in the first place, thinking there have to be two? Anyway, it's one link for two Heavenletters.
Boy I really hit the
Boy I really hit the jackpot. Thank you so much for finding these and posting. It's communication, prayer is, connecting, and then it goes beyond words, as it should. I forget to be in communication daily. Heaven Letters have been such a great way to start my day! Really are very special, like nothing else I have experienced. No matter what is going on, the joy and reassurance of Truth that these letters offer is a gift for our times.
Did you, or did we! Joyce,
Did you, or did we!
Joyce, will you email an informal candid photo of you and also your okay to post it along with some of your words on the Reader Comment page? Look on the right margin of the website for the link.
Also post your photo on your profile page, too!
I would like to ask everyone to do this!
Jochen, did you check everywhere on our site for God's words on prayer? You have given us all a gift today.
Checking everything, dear
Checking everything, dear Gloria, there are 15 pages of search results for "prayer", 12 for "pray", 5 for "prayers" and 5 for "praying" – and they are not the same results!
Well, beloved Jochen, if I
Well, beloved Jochen, if I had looked instead of jumping to conclusions, I would have found the two! a lot sooner! I did finally open the one link and found two Heavenletters.
What do you mean when you say the Heavenletters on prayer do not give the same results? Is it possible you could pick out passages for us?
You see by now that I want you to do all the work!
No, Querida, I was saying
No, Querida, I was saying that the search results for "prayer" are different from the ones for "pray". The two together have 27 pages of search results, each page listing several hits, let's say 15 ...
I do not have the time now to try finding salient passages.
Understood, beloved
Understood, beloved Jochen.
TwoJay, can you possibly fit this in?
Anybody?
