Prayer is when we talk to God, and intuition is when God answers.
Prayer connects us to the invisible intelligence that is wired to our soul. Prayer is asking for help and wisdom. Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “Prayer is the contemplation of the facts of life from the highest point of view.” How do you view prayer and how can you use it to receive the insight and guidance you desire?

Over many years and much inner seeking I came to the realization that God was not the old man on a throne looking down from heaven that I’d imagined as a child. Instead, I began to feel and experience God as a Universal Wisdom, Divine Love, and as an energy force that only wanted the best for me. I saw that all of the challenges I was experiencing in life were gifts that God put there to help me find my way “back home.”

I learned that when I talked to God, I received an answer. It wasn't a booming voice out of the clouds. He answered through the still, small voice of intuition. Each time I struggled with fear, anxiety, anger, or any of the minor and major upsets of life, I learned to ask for help. It was like a conversation with a good friend.

The answers came in a variety of ways. My problems were not usually “fixed” in the ways that I might have liked. Money did not pour out of the heavens, and so far no one has left me a million dollars in their will! Sometimes the answers would come in a fleeting thought. “Maybe I could try this….” On other occasions I might be drawn to a book that had the answers I was seeking.  Many times the answer to my prayers was a boost in self-confidence when I most needed it.

Whether your concerns are about paying the rent this month, trying to find a job, dealing with a difficult relationship or struggling with a health crisis, the guidance you receive from prayer can be a balm for your soul. Let God know about whatever is on your mind.  It doesn't need to be formal.  It’s like a conversation with your best friend. Whatever is on your mind matters. Ask for help, for insight, for peace, for strength or whatever you most deeply desire. You always have access to this inner wisdom, although sometimes it takes practice and silence to learn to listen and understand. Prayer opens your mind to new opportunities.  When you pray you are reaching for a Power that is bigger than you.
