For many years, I have heard of the sort of miracles produced by the power of prayer, and how more "power" is produced when groups of people get together and pray for the same thing.
I have never asked people, though, why they felt it worked so well. I probably took it like others in that the prayers went to God's ears and then "he" granted the wish, right?
Every night, my youngest son and I sit and pray, mainly giving thanks for all that we have, such as good health, all our basic needs met, the things we learned during the day, the love we have and so on. My son then gets to put in what he's thankful for. Once that is done, we pray for those in the world.
One night, we were doing our usual prayer, but something shifted into focus. I began with "for all those who are homeless, may they find shelter" and I paused feeling the energy of my words traveling the energy threads to those very people in need. At this time, though not always, I saw their faces, I saw them getting shelter in a safe place...it was peculiarly interesting and wondrous at the same time. Then I moved on to those who are hungry, living w/violence, lonely, lost...and in pausing, could feel the energy extend from me to those people and animals too.
I began to understand the connection and how a group praying from their hearts for others would reach those in need, the love center in them growing, and them feeling empowered to heal, find shelter, find peace, find love, find safety and how all those who would help them, would hear the message that this was necessary and find a way to provide it.
It strengthens my resolve how much we all are truly connected, and that where there is a will, there indeed IS a way :)
