The Universal Power Of Prayer

Prayer has become a loaded, even triggering concept in spirituality. The modern notion of this practice has become religified and somewhat sanctimonious. It has mostly been appropriated by dogmatic, organized religion and too often assumed to only belong to the chosen, privileged few.

In my experience, prayer is in fact both a divine gift and universal law that belongs to us all, no matter what our particular spiritual or metaphysical beliefs may be. We all receive what we pray for, both spiritually and on a secular basis. And we all pray in different ways.

Prayer follows the path of least resistance, and the Universe abhors a vacuum. If our heart and mind are in the right place, prayer always works. We get what we pray for. The downside of getting what we pray for requires carefully choosing what we pray for. Time and time again, throughout history, this choosing has caused generations of clean-up. The karmic cleanup is not often successful, because we have not been willing to understand the hindrance of ulterior motives and hidden agendas. Spirit knows all, and there is nothing truly hidden or secret.

So, yes, we do get what we pray for, but we need to also be careful when we pray, because karma is also a Universal Law. We must always pray bearing in mind the Universal Law of Cause and Effect, the Golden Rule: as we give, so we receive.

One does not need to be a scientific genius to understand the basic concept of vibratory energy frequency and how it determines what we attract and impacts the quality of our life. A ‘vibe’ is either low or high. This does not only apply to us as individuals, but also to the collective vibrations of our families, communities, nations, as well as the collective frequency of the entire planet, which has been changing significantly in recent times.

Prayer is no petty duty, put into a corner; no piecemeal performance made out of the fragments of time which have been snatched from business and other engagements of life; but it means that the best of our time, the heart of our time and strength must be given ~ E.M. Bounds

‘Raising our vibration’ may seem difficult, but it really is not that complicated. It is about being mindful and aware in every aspect of our lives, from what we eat, to what we buy, to whom we engage with, how we act, and what we choose to believe. What comes out of our mouths is also much more important than what goes into it. We need to choose our words wisely. Keep a high vibe by choosing to be present at all times. Show compassion, kindness and empathy toward others, be patient and tolerant, and be charitable, without getting sucked into any drama.

These are trying times. The H.A.L.T. acronym (don’t let yourself get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired) is experientially a wise application. Pray for peace in the world, pray for what truly matters. Teach your loved ones how to pray. There is wisdom in the Lord’s Prayer, beyond the modern religified, self-righteous application. Let us sincerely ask for the forgiveness of our trespasses, while we truly seek to forgive those who trespass against us. This is after all the essence of the Law of Karma.

The more we practice the metaphysical power of prayer, the more effective it becomes. Used well, prayer can change the world. We can change the world. Global awakening consciousness is calling forth the Light-bearers we came to be. It is our task to bring Light to Earth.
