What is prayer really? In A Course in Miracles the definition of prayer is a way offered by the Holy Spirit to reach God. It is the means by which God’s Son leaves separate goals and separate interests by, and turns in holy gladness to the truth of union in his Father and himself. The power of prayer is the power of the mind to choose between the ego and God, the power to transform your experience from a brief bodily existence to eternal life in God. Ultimately the choice between God and the ego is not a real choice since only God is real. Prayer for forgiveness is the medium for the miracle, where we let go of the ego’s thought system of guilt, fear and attack and receive the joy that is inherently ours. Our daily prayer is to learn to listen to the Holy Spirit for guidance. Inviting the Holy Spirit to correct our mistaken ideas about reality is the prayer for healing. Only the mind can experience true healing. The prayer for unity is a letting go of all the blocks in the mind so that Oneness can be experienced. God’s plan for salvation cannot fail and so the prayer of your heart has been answered. You are still as God created you.

Spreaker talk on what is prayer
What is prayer but the core of everything. Desire is synonymous with prayer; the desire of your heart. Prayers for things will not bring you peace of mind. That’s like asking for the impossible. It’s asking for temporary comfort. The true definition of prayer is to call upon your deepest wishes beyond the form. Prayers are always answered, but when you don’t know what you’re asking for, you’ll get fragmented results. The power of prayer is increased through the purification of your heart’s desire.
When the mind is sleeping, it believes that it is lacking and incomplete. Therefore prayers will involve asking for specifics: things and petitions. When the mind is awakening, trust in the Holy Spirit grows and there is a single devotion to God. Then the belief in lack and incompletion fall away. All desires begin to get cleared away as the ladder of prayer is climbed. So what is prayer? A true prayer that is at the top of the ladder is “Father, what is Your Will for me?”
