Prayer Is Cognizant Devotion

Many people wonder, “Am I praying correctly? Am I doing this right?” All that is needed in order to pray is sincerity within our supplication, love within our heart, and a longing to become closer with the Divine so that we can hear the whispers of teachings that He longs to give us. Praying mechanically is useless. Our consciousness must be alert, here and now, in order to be able to grasp the guidance from within. ~ Keerthana, Surekha Minati.

I wondered, “Am I praying correctly?
Am I doing this right? Lord, teach me to pray.”
My new screen saver says,
God Wants to Talk to You.
I am a spiritual being living in a physical world.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “It is better in prayer
to have a heart without words
than words without a heart.”
Prayer is cognizant devotion.
