7 - Prayer Flashcards
What is prayer?
Prayer is a communication process with God, a connection between the soul of the individual and God.
Through personal prayer, where we open our hearts to God, we can feel part of the greater whole and share thoughts of gratitude, forgiveness and compassion.
What is the purpose of the opening prayer?
The opening prayer should help bring people together and build the energy for the service, establishing the purpose of the meeting and a calm positive atmosphere.
What is the purpose of the closing prayer?
The closing prayer should bring the proceedings to close by giving thanks for everything that has been a part of the service, both to God and to the spirit world, and whatever other thoughts may occur.
