Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Prayer is the act of addressing a god or spirit for the purpose of worship or petition.[1] Specific forms of this may include praise, requesting guidance or assistance, confessing sins, as an act of reparation or an expression of one's thoughts and emotions. The words used in prayer may take the form of intercession, a hymn, incantation, words of gratitude, or a spontaneous utterance in the person's praying words. Praying can be done in public, as a group, or in private.

Most major religions in the world involve prayer in one way or another in their rituals. Although in some cases the act of prayer is ritualized and must be followed through a sometimes strict sequence of actions (even going as far as restricting who may pray), many faiths teach that prayer can be done spontaneously by anyone at any moment.

Scientific studies regarding the use of prayer have mostly concentrated on its effect on the healing of sick or injured people. The efficacy of petition in prayer for physical healing to a deity has been evaluated in numerous studies, with contradictory results.[2][3][4][5] There has been some criticism of the way the studies were conducted.[6][7]

One possibility is the Late Latin precare (as seen in Priscian), classical Latin precari "to entreat, pray" from Latin precari, from precor, from prec-, prex "request, entreaty, prayer." Precor was used by Virgil, Livy, Cicero, and Ovid in the accusative. Dative forms are also found in Livy and Aurelius Propertius. With pro in the ablative, it is found in Plinius Valerianus’s physic, and Aurelius Augustinus’s Epistulae. It also could be used for a thing. From classical times, it was used in both religious and secular senses. Prex is recorded as far back as T. Maccius Plautus (254 B.C. –&_160;?). Other senses of precor include "to wish well or ill to any one," "to hail, salute," or "address one with a wish."

1. Slokas: the essence of Hinduism
November 07, 2009

Sloka is a Sanskrit word used to denote a prayerful verse written to follow certain grammatical rules. Sloka is a powerful prayer which conveys the dignity and the omnipotence of God. Sanskrit Shlokas describe God in different forms and their celestial powers. People, who sincerely recite these verses and invoke the God mentally, attain a steady and peaceful mind. Shloka forms the part of 'Stotras' which are dedicated to Gods as prayers. Slokas are the primary verses from Mahabharata and Ramayana, the great epics of Indian Mythology. In this section, we are covering the following slokas:... (read more)

2. Silent Prayer: Part 3 - How to Pray Silently
November 04, 2009

While we are praying silently, we are going to let go of all the baggage we carry on our shoulders regarding the past and future. When thoughts of the past come up, whether it be who we are, what we have accomplished, what titles we have earned, our childhood, our relatives, our relationships, bad experiences, good experiences - all these thoughts should be let go of the moment you realize that you are distracting yourself from silent prayer by thinking. Future thoughts should also be relinquished, thinking about what time it is, how much time is left in this silent prayer session, what y... (read more)

3. What to look out for when buying Oriental Rugs on Holiday?
November 05, 2009

Many people go on holiday to places where rugs are woven and it is part of the experience to go to the market to buy a rug. Over the years I have been called out many times to assess and value rugs bought in the Middle East, North Africa or India and more recently China, for insurance purposes or to sell. With regard to price generally speaking you pay pretty close or even more for the rug abroad than you would in the UK. However many rugs bought abroad are of a lower quality and would not reach the shops back home. Often rugs have weak sides that come apart after a few months which can... (read more)

4. Moth damage to Oriental rugs
November 05, 2009

In the last 3 years there has been a huge increase in moth damage including Oriental rugs. The clothes moth is up to 1 cm long, of a silvery brown colour, often flying in a fluttering circular motion. When attacked by trying to swat it of, drops to the floor often disappearing. Moths are attracted to places which are dark, undisturbed and damp. They lay eggs in protein based fibres, i.e. wool, silk and fur. The eggs are small and translucent and difficult to see. When they hatch a small white grub comes out and feeds on the fibres until it reaches full size. It produces a white cocoon and... (read more)

5. Silent Prayer: Part 2 - What Silent Prayer Is, and Isn't
November 03, 2009

When we think about prayer, what comes to mind is some kind of request or solicitation of God . Maybe we are ill and ask to get better, or ask forgiveness, or maybe a little help with the lottery. These are the kinds of prayers that we mostly engage in. We might also repeat a mantra, for example, the "Our Father," or Hail Mary" as an act of devotion or contrition. Then there are the holy thoughts about God, heaven, the saints and Jesus as we sit quietly. Or, we might thank God for something good that has happened to us and ask for protection from the bad. These are all prayers of thanks, ... (read more)

6. Dealing With Difficult People: A Minister's Guide
November 04, 2009

While attending seminary and taking Bible study courses may prepare a minister to preach and teach the Word of God, very few pastors enter the ministry ready to face the most challenging part of doing God’s work, interacting with people. Ministers work with a wide variety of people on any given day. Many of these people are blessings, offering encouragement, support, prayer, and compassion. Others, however, are a bit more challenging to deal with. A lot has been written on the subject of dealing with difficult people. Here are a few tips on how you can deal with the difficult people in yo... (read more)

7. Silent Prayer: Part 1 - Why Should We Pray Silently?
November 02, 2009

For two hundred years after Christ died, according to historical documents, many different and diverse gospels and ideas permeated Christianity, all competing for acceptance by the fledgling Church that was then organizing. One of these was the Gospels of Thomas. After 200 AD, Christianity became an organized religion overseen by priests and bishops who took over the doctrines of the Church. They decided which gospels were to be included in the new testament (only a handful that met their criteria) and which were to be destroyed. They rejected all Christian alternate viewpoints as heresy ... (read more)

9. Trials And Tribulations Are A Part Of Our Christian Walk
November 01, 2009

At one point or another most of us have experienced trials, they are a part of our Christian journey. No one no matter how rich, powerful, good or bad is exempt from going through trials and tribulations. When times get so rough we find our selves asking God if our troubles will ever end. We find ourselves wondering why things don't seem to be working out for us, or why God has allowed these things to happen to us. This is when we have to remember that God loves us and he wants the best for us, he hears our faintest cry. No matter what hardship we're experiencing in our lives God has not forgo... (read more)

10. As Christians We Should Develop A Thankful Attitude
November 01, 2009

At times we spend a lot of time worrying about all the things that are going wrong in our lives and in the process we forget to take the time to thank God for all the great things that are going right in our lives. We have so many things to be thankful for and yet we choose to spend much of our time focusing on the negative. We focus so much on the challenges that life has thrown our way and don't pay any attention to the many blessings. As children of God it is important for us to get into the habit of thanking God for every situation in our lives. We have to cultivate a thankful spirit th... (read more)

How did you become concerned in your present ministry? In late 1987, I very providentially discovered that following the high court decisions in 1962-1963 removing voluntary college prayer and Bible reading from public schools that academic achievement scores plummeted, student crime soared, and measures of student morality skyrocketed ( e.g, teen pregnancies, STD rates, and so on. ). I also revealed that early court judgments on issues we are facing today ( e.g, prayer in public areas, Bible reading in faculties, public porno, and so on.

Right. You and I minister that way all of the time. In fact, I'm leaving and going to a minister right after this program on a Jihad and I should be praying for the sick.

15. Kingdom of God Came To Earth by Richard Roberts
October 29, 2009

We're looking for the same kind of a nurse, a nurse who wants to be part of a healing team. We're a healing team at the town of religion. It's as critical what Melanie does or David does as it is what I do. It's not important that I am a doctor, she is's a nurse, or David is a prayer partner. What's significant is that we're a team connected together through the love of God to deliver all of The Lord God's healing power to you as a patient. So if you are a nurse or maybe you are a minister who really feels called to do something different, or a doctor, this is a place where you can do so... (read more)

16. Plea-bargaining and Guilty Pleas: A Curse or an Answer to a Defendants Prayer?
October 29, 2009

Plea-bargaining and guilty pleas are a critical element of the criminal legal system. Plea-bargaining is a process in which a defendant negotiates the terms of punishment in exchange for a guilty plea or a no contest plea. Many times the prosecutor will offer to dismiss some criminal counts or reduce the maximum punishment. There are different reasons why defendants decide to plead guilty or plead no contest and avoid going to trial. Some of the reasons include lower sentencing, lack of evidence to support their case, less costly, and personal desire to confess guilt. Whatever the reasons ar... (read more)

17. {{Impressions of Borobudur, Indonesia.|Feelings about Borobudur, Indonesia}}}
October 27, 2009

With all of its fascination, Borobudur Temple was witnessing a great celebration of a million of Buddhists’ prayers and lights, along with the other seven offerings placed around the temple – red cloth in the west, green in the north, white in the east and yellow in the south side of the temple. At the time of living, Buddha Siddhartha Gautama – or named as the Great Holy Shakyamuni Buddha in Buddhism – dedicated an offering and a prayer of aspirations to gain enlightenment, through a bowl of soup. Though it was very simple and meaningless, but it was delivered virtuously and truthfully,... (read more)

October 27, 2009

SID : howdy. Sid Roth here with Steve Foss. I am hoping you're enjoying this interview as much as I am. Steve, what's God's definition of biblical prosperity? STEVE : I suspect biblical prosperity is that you have all that you need to be most effective to meet God's purpose for your life, and enough to be a blessing to somebody else. It doesn't mean everybody needs to drive a Rolls Royce and have a mansion. It's what you need to be handiest. But that's's actually an egocentric prayer, because recounted we're to feed the hungry and dress the Naked, and show hospitality to strangers. W... (read more)

Looking for whom he can devour. Devourer. And he is going to kill and destroy. Penicillin did not come from the devil. No, you see, so it came from God. By prayer. Or prayer, whatever you want to call it. And somebody said, well what are you chatting about? Well, let me go back and say it this way. Not everyone will be saved. It's available, but they don't all accept it. And also, Ken, occasionally there are unknown factors that we as homo sapiens can't understand. I'll never understand the death of our child Richard Oral. I came to a point where I gave it to God. There was enou... (read more)

22. What is special about natural dyes and hand spun wool?
October 26, 2009

If you look at an oriental weaving (rug, bags, pillow covers etc) from the 19thC you will notice that the colours have an attractive depth and richness about them. Natural dyes produce a vast range of colours that have a remarkable ability to harmonize with each other. Research into the chemistry of these dyes has shown that in the case of reds from the Madder root these is a cocktail of at least 40 active pigments present in varying degrees. The relative percentages of each depends on many factors such as the mineral content of the soil, the age of the root, the dying temperature, and t... (read more)
