i believe that prayer can be a prayer to a person's higher power, or it can be meditation or silent thought. there are many forms of it. this thread nowhere assumes to state what prayer should or shouldn't be.

please let's keep the focus here (which i don't believe is WHAT prayer might be and if it's good or helpful)...i believe the focus should be on the men, women, children, babies, and even animals, who have and are suffering and what we can do...if it consists solely of prayers and thoughts full of peace and healing.

thank you,
