Power of Prayer

Prayer can be defined as a cry of the soul to a power greater than itself for comfort and relief. It is an invocation to God; a supplication for divine aid.
There is nothing we can accomplish without the help and support of our Beloved Creator. God in his infinite wisdom knows what is best for each and every person. Our Lord grants us what we need at the proper time and place, no prayer is ever lost in vain.
True prayer is the essence of spirituality; it brings about an inner peace, a sense of completeness. The power of prayer is a panacea to comfort the tortured souls of those who feel the pangs of separation from the presence of the divine.
Our Beloved Creator, being infallibly perfect, has no need of our prayers; yet prayer allows us the opportunity to commune with the Source of All Joy, the Fountainhead of existence. Therefore prayer is essential for anyone striving toward God-realization.
