Prayer

If we think about prayer, if we try to analyze why people pray, we realize that the need to pray is one of the strongest necessities inherent to our nature. All human beings - either they admit it or not - feel that establishing a connection with "something" beyond themselves is necessary for their spiritual and emotional survival. While plunging themselves into action provides them with material satisfaction, praying supplies the spiritual strength necessary to face the daily challenges. When you pray you feel that you are connected to a higher power, whatever this might be. You can call it in many different ways, you can conceive it any way you want, but the starting point is always the same: the need to feel that you are not alone in your struggles, that you can ask for spiritual help and believe that it will be provided.
