Prayer Defined

Let us Compare Prayer to other Tools we discuss in our Series:

Prayer Compared to Mandalas:
Though Creating a Mandala is Similar to Creating a Prayer, and One can Pray with a Mandala- A Mandala often Includes or even Focuses on Pictorial Elements such as a God Symbol and Artwork)

Prayer Compared to Affirmations:
Though Creating an Affirmation is Similar to Creating a Prayer, and One can Pray with an Affirmation- In an Affirmation we Often Address our Higher or Inner Self/God/the Universe, whereas in the West, the Traditional View of Prayer has been One of Supplication to a Separate God. But are There Ways of Praying in a Manner which Manifests our Highest Good? We'll Discuss this a few Pages Ahead!

Prayer Compared to New Thoughts:
Though Paying Attention to our New thoughts is Certainly in the Realm of Listening to God, which is an Important Catalyst for Prayer, Let us Think of New Thoughts as Raw Material for any of the other Spiritual Tools in our series: Which Include Mandalas, Affirmations, and Prayer.

A Listing of Books and Recordings Published by Music-Outreach Publishing

*I present to you many of my own personal mandalas, and adaptations based upon them. You will see some repetition of themes and words, since these samples (or the original mandalas I have based many of the samples upon) were created as I steadily worked toward some personal goals. Please let these examples serve as a guide for you to create your own mandalas, which will help you manifest your own dreams, as you work toward your own spiritual and temporal goals.

Excerpt from Book:

What is God Really Like?

How shall we attempt to BE in God's Presence?

Dear reader, let us not quibble over eastern "non-separation" and western dualism! The important thing is to pray as we feel most comfortable! What you read and what you see in this book, you will want to adapt to fit where you are in your spirituality. If you pick this book up again ten years from now, you may adapt what you see and read yet again.

We grow.

Our spirituality grows.

This is the nature of life. Let us allow ourselves (and others) to be where we are on our journeys.

It is my hope that what you encounter in the remainder of this book will serve as an inspiration to help you create prayers which fit you, your heart, mind, spirit, spiritual path and current outlook. I present them as a catalyst for enhancing your life of prayer.

Prayers for Healing

The following are examples of the sorts of prayers provided in this volume. They are intended to be for your personal use during prayer or meditation time. Should you find they fit your needs in their present form, please utilize them with my blessing! Or, adapt them or use them as a pattern to write your own prayers which may better fit and serve your needs.

May these prayers be a blessing to you dear reader!

My nerves are calm at all times.

I am calm, unhurried at all times.

I am unworried.

My spirit, mind and body are
untroubled by doubt, fear, judgment,
fear of judgment, fear of unsafety, fear of loss.

I release, I replace fear and uncertainty
with trust, love, openness, confidence, surety of guidedness.
