Forms Of Prayer

There are many forms of prayer. ... 

For some of us it may take the form of talking to God; 

for others it may be silent meditation, 

observing nature, 

listening to music, or 

writing in a journal.

Point Of View

• I pray to be led into a new way of thinking about the difficulties I have to face.
• A new point of view will put them into perspective and reduce them to manageable size.
• I pray especially to resist exaggerating my troubles until they overwhelm me.

Guidance

I must rely on God.
I must trust Him to the limit.
I must depend on the Divine Power for all human relationships.
I will wait and trust and hope, until God shows me the way.
I will wait for guidance on each important decision.
I will meet the test of waiting until a thing seems right before I do it.
Every work for God must meet the test of time.
The guidance will come, if I wait for it.
