THE POWER OF PRAYER

What does it matter how long I pray, so long as my prayers are answered?"

Sitting Bull, HUNKPAPA LAKOTA

Too often we worry about the words we use in prayer.

We focus on the words. What really counts is the spirit and intent behind our words. It is the spirit and intent that the Creator responds to. He reads and listens to our heart.

Prayer isn't only when we fold our hands and pray. Prayer is when we talk to the Creator even when we are walking down a path or sitting on a hill or walking in the mountains. The Elders say, walk in prayer. We should be willing to talk with the Great One.
