This is to compare true prayer with false prayer. False prayer is loud long and ritualistic. False prayer is said on street corners, in meetings and at worship service to show everyone how pious and spiritual the prayer is. False prayer is the saying of petitions and such to be relieved of some defect. False prayer is that said to prevent some catastrophe from happening. These prayers never work for three main reasons. First they have no real force behind them. Second they are not performed as true prayer but wishful thinking. Third the problem being addressed is not let go of.
So what is real prayer? Real prayer is something that should be practiced every moment of every day. It is forming a picture of what is desired as if it is already accomplished. You see it, feel it taste,smell or experience it as if you were n the future and seeing the results of your prayer. No words are needed with true prayer and nobody has to know you are praying. When you have sent this you drop all thoughts of the prayer confident it will be accomplished. Then go on to whatever you are doing in your life then. This is the most important step in true prayer, to let go and let your higher self, or whatever power including Great Mystery bring it into being. If you continue to worry and fear that is your true prayer and that is what will be brought into being.
