You Can Relate to God in Prayer

In summing up: Relate, relate, relate to God whenever you pray. Don’t just mouth the words. Be yourself. Be sincere. You may visualize the ideal if you like. You may choose to pray affirmatively. It’s wonderful to think of God as powerful goodness and realize that God is everywhere.

In natural prayer, we simply talk to God, abiding in peace, listening as well as talking
When we pray, our prayers help others, but we too are blessed
In mystical prayer, we visualize the ideal rather than the problem and sense that God’s will is being done

In affirmative prayer, we affirm that God is omnipresent and omnipotent and can express love and goodness in all situations
In interpretive prayer, we attune with God and are inspired about what to pray
