What is Prayer?

• Prayer affirms our belief that there is something beyond our small, separate identity. When we pray we acknowledge that we are part of something bigger than ourselves.

• Prayer means we are willing to believe that this force of which we are a part is loving or, at the very least, has some interest in us. Otherwise why would we bother engaging with it? Prayer is a reaching out and a letting in of Love.
  
• Prayer for some means the belief that God will change our world for us. For me it means that prayer works first in ourselves. God works in me to change my mind. As I change, the world and/or my experience of the world also changes.
• Prayer suggests a belief that we are united in a way that we cannot understand with our physical senses. If I believe my prayer for you makes a difference to you, then I believe my thoughts and words can change your life.
  

• Prayer is one way to open our minds to let in love.
  Only the love is real. The love of God is always HERE for us, NOW.

“Lift up your heads, O you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.”
(Psalm 24: 5, NIV, Prayer Bible quote)

"One thing that struck me was the stripping of ego in the work. Most of us have a comfy ego façade, but weakness and disease tore Katherine’s away. The poems in Be Loved Beloved come from the heart."

Dana Taylor, Author of Ever-Flowing Streams: Tapping into Healing Energy
