[Shekinah]

Even as a child, I thought discursive prayer was stupid. I thought "if God is omnipotent, and you have true faith, why not just talk to God directly?" so I did.
But after long searching, I fully believe in the power of prayer for the first time in my life.

This source is not Christian, but it's from this guy who draws from Sufi sources, he has a similar personality as mine, so this was a great inspiration for me to begin praying, but for deeper, more mature reasons. To create contact with emotions that are blocked. It is true connection with the heart.

I found that prayer is also about surrender to how things are and how the soul unfolds.

I think the deep prayer mentioned came from a Sufi, but it leads to the same source,Christian and Sufi. The dispatching of truth intellectually on that site builds a solid foundation for people to move through the lower layers of the mind in order to build the consciousness of God. In a sense, sanctity should be given for prayer and divine worship for those whose consciousness is developed because the goal is not to merely amass information, but to bring about spiritual transformation in the mind. The Sufis and Christians anchored in deep prayer help us with our personal transformations.

Shekinah, We can all benefit from the deep understanding that deep prayer brings and the explanation on that site. Thank you I enjoyed it very much.

Deep prayer presents my spirit also with an intuitive understanding that the mysteries of faith can be brought into existence and appreciated. These mysteries are given to us to be mastered, and they seek understanding, not only in reflection, but also in prayer and meditation. Thanks for sharing.
