Prayer, the communication with God, happens in various versions. Liberated from the traditional obedience and conformity, I believe that the appreciation of everything in existence is a form of prayer, for everything is made of the molecule of creation and evolution.
‘Self-timed self-thought, ‘a dialog with God’, is the highest form of individual prayer’, second only to communal prayer.
God answers prayers and we are part of the answer because God works through us.
