Prayers express our yearning for spiritual awakening, enticing the Higher Power to grace us with a blissful revelation of its constant presence. Prayer is an age-old spiritual tecnique for communicating with the Divine, for merging the mind with the Power of Life. It is about using words to bring to our awareness the quiet stillness of God.;"Prayer for Everyday Living" is a practical exploration of prayer in its many forms, combining insightful text with prayers from the world's spiritual traditions.
