PRAYER - Websters definition (used as a function word) fem. 1) of precarious obtained by entreaty, an address, (such as a petition) to God or a God in word or thought.
Before every meal, during church, when we’re angry, or feel helpless, as a mother especially when I’m worried about my children most of us we turn to prayer. Prayer is practiced on every continent all over the world and in almost every religion. Humans have been doing it for centuries for some of us it’s a way of life. So does prayer really make a difference? The answer is yes! (Of course we already know that). Interesting enough A researcher Masaru Emotto he ran studies proving that human thoughts, words, and vibrations can directly alter physical matter! Suggesting that the 'intent' behind human speech can impact the environment and even the water within the human body. In one of his many interesting study’s, he gave each one of his students a droplet of frozen water then he had them look at it under a microscope, after that he had the college students pray over the droplet froze it again then take another look. Each frozen droplet of water was distinctively different.More structured and aesthetically pleasing, as well as being particular to each individual student. The human bodies are made up of 75% water if prayer and meditation have such a distinctive impact on water and we are 75 percent water and our planet is 85 percent water. What type of real effects are our words and thoughts actually having on the people in planet around us especially the negative and hateful things we say. Masaru Emotto ran many very interesting studies with astounding results and huge implications, another favorite experiment of mine. You can try at your own home it’s perfect to do with the kids.
First cook rice put it in three different jars. Next write “love” on one jar, then write “hate” on the other jar. After that every day say “I love you” to one jar then something rude or hateful to the other. Ignore the third (keep it as a control). The results might just astound you. Wthin a month or two you should start to see definite differences in the way they ferment or mildew. A lot of people like to use strawberries too. It’s a great way to teach your children. The impact harsh words can have on our loved ones, peers and the planet. Hopefully sparking an interest and encouraging a strong prayer for our younger generation making the entire household more aware of the effects harsh words can have. In Buddhist countries like Thailand temples ring bells and entire communities meditate (in prayer) together several times a day. More studies also show that patients with cancer who pray and believe they will recover, do! And they do it much faster than patience. Who aren’t religious or don’t pray. With the power of our Prayers changing water, fermenting, strawberries and rice, just imagine the effect it can have on our own bodies! Both positive and negative. Now the opinions of different scientist on prayer is diverse.
(My personal favorite quote) by Thomas Aquinas (Theologian and Philosopher): Defined prayer as both an act of the intellect and an expression of desire, stating that its ultimate purpose is to align human friendship and will with the Divine Ralph Waldo Emerson (Transcendentalist Philosopher): 'The wise man in the storm prays God not for safety from danger but for deliverance from fear.' [1] Albert Einstein(Physicist): 'A scientist cannot be inclined to believe that the course of events can be influenced by prayer, that is, by a supernaturally manifested wish.' HUH! (someones not big prayer ( Albert Einstein) Myself As a mother I pray constantly morning, noon, and night over every little thing because I believe (KNOW) it has a huge impact in my life and in my children’s life’s as-well.Indeed Einstein was a very intelligent man, that doesn’t mean he was right about everything. All that being said how will you choose to exercise the exponential power your prayer has in the world around you.. In the words of the Master Jedi Yoda “ Focus use the force!””Strong in you it is.”
