I gladly comply. One reason is that it is such an honor to be asked to pray for someone. Remember the scene from the Jim Carrey movie Bruce Almighty in which he is sitting at his computer and prayer requests come streaming in? \u00a0In frustration, he presses a button and responds YES! to each one. What happens? Chaos ensues.\u00a0 Sometimes the answer to our prayers is yes, sometimes it is no and sometimes it is a clear &#8216;not yet&#8217;. When that occurs, what I do is either reconfigure my expectations or sit back and wait until something shifts. It always does.<\/p>\n<p>What I have also discovered is that I don&#8217;t pray FOR something. I give thanks in advance that the Highest Good has already begun to unfold since it is already in existence in the &#8216;mind of God&#8217;. I ask for the willingness to accept that reality. I see it as whole and complete.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer is portable and need not be confined to an edifice such as a synagogue,\u00a0temple, mosque\u00a0church or shrine. It is as vast as Spirit itself. It is not meant to occur at specified times of day. Our channel to Divine Consciousness is open 24\/7 and all we need do is tap into it.<\/p>\n<p>So today, I invite you to be Prayer Central and offer love to the world around you. YOUR healingenergy makes all the difference in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Sit back and listen to <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/iJkq-U7_8ZA\">The Prayer on YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I sometimes refer to myself as &#8216;Prayer Central&#8217; since many of my friends over the years have asked me to offer prayer, reiki and in general healing energy for life circumstances that impact on them and people they know.
