The life of man is a life of wants and needs and therefore of desires, not only in his physical and vital,but in his mental and spiritual being. When he becomes conscious of a greater Power governing the world, he approaches it through prayer for fulfillment of his needs, for help in his rough journey, for protection and aid in his struggle.
Prayer helps to prepare us for a relation with the divine its power and sense is to put the will, aspiration and faith of man into touch with the divine. At first it is there a consistent at the lower plane mere egoism and self delusion gradually we can draw towards the spiritual truth which is behind it. It is not then the giving of thing asked for that matters, but the relation itself, the contact of man's life with God, the conscious interchange. In spiritual matters and in the seeking of spiritual gains, this conscious relation is a great power; it is a greater power than our own entirely self reliant struggle and effort and it brings a fuller spiritual growth andf experience. Necessarily in the end prayer either ceases in the greater thing for which it prepared us, in fact the form we call prayer is not itself essential so long as the faith, the will, the aspiration are there, or it remains only for the joy of the relation. The object it seeks to realize, becomes higher and higher until we reach the highest motiveless devotion which is that of Divine love pure and simple without any other demand or longing.
We must learn to rely on the divine grace and call for its help in all circumstances then it will work out constant miracles.
If you have an aspiration sincere enough and a prayer intense enough you can bring down in you something that will change everything. truly it changes everything. A magical power.
