Prayer is powerful because you are asking for assistance from beyond the limited personal sense of self.  You are humbling this limited self enough to say, “There may be a better way.”  And there is.  Connecting in awareness with the flow of Life that connects all and sending out your desires is how you in your limited form harness the power of intention.  For this reason, not only prayer, but affirmations and visualizations serve the same purpose, as long as you in your narrow state recognize there is a less restricted state.  Dissolve this sense of me-apart into me-a-part and be willing to budge from always-right to beyond-right-and-wrong.  In this expanded state of all-one, you are never a-lone, and therefore you are tapping into the phenomenal flow from which prayers are answered, should they serve the greater good. 

You are so very loved.
