The prayer and its healing power What is a prayer? “The prayer is an endless work, above any art or science. Through Prayer, we connect with the Being without beginning, or, in other words, God’s life itself enters us by this channel. The prayer is an act of higher wisdom, which exceeds any beauty and honour. In prayer, we find the sacred delight of our spirit...” (The blessed Arhimandrit Sfronie). It represents the endless will of the human to connect with the supreme creative wisdom power - the thing with which you are born and you try to maintain during your entire life. Khalil Gibran said: “The prayer is the heart’s song”; this is the energy you feel when your heart is awake and you have the spirit in yourself. Where is the prayer found? Religions of all kind follow to create a bond of the individual with God, and for this, they, by their representative, have drafted a lot of prayer books and rituals meant to deviate the attention of the adorer from an interior search and to aim it to an exterior God, separately from His creation. A Judge, Creator, Destroyer God, etc. Instead, let’s remember that the authentic spiritual schools speak about a piece from God which is found within us, under the Inner Self or Atman, the Divine spark which which make us by acknowledgment potentially become as Him. to This is the Witness God. Present in each conscious, created being and which waits and He has to be discovered inside our beings. So the prayer appear us as being one of the most powerful and unbeatable ways or methods of searching the Truth. Exterior searches of Divinity made by rituals, pilgrimages, prayers and collective invocation in temples and churches are insufficient if they are not doubled by a simultaneous interior search. The sincere, profound, came from the heart interior prayer and addressed both to the exterior One, the Creator of everything and to the interior One, the silent Witness, makes as gradually the Divine to reveal the searcher’s consciousness. At the beginning by small signs and exterior synchronicities which gradually become significant, sometimes miraculous, and by the appearance of some interior unusual states of profound calm, peace, joy, gratitude, happiness, love more and more intense and overwhelming inspired by the Heavenly Father. The searcher found in this stage makes with amazement that the state of continuous adoration and prayer have existed for forever in his being only that until then he has ignored them.
