For years people have asked me the best way to pray. Recently I prepared a talk and then I started reflecting more and more on it. It then became more powerful than I imagined.

How about like the people of Israel carry the Ark of the Covenant on our shoulders? How about carrying God in our hearts and shoulders like God would to us as the children of God? Just the thought of carrying God on our shoulders and in our heart, just the thought of God and fantasizing God traveling with us through the dust storms, draughts, famine, sadness, sickness, failure, divorce, and you name it, is prayer. A beautiful acknowledgement of God’s presence in life through the struggles of life is prayer.

Prayer is a emotion of the soul. It is through that emotion we get in touch with what is real about God. Unless one can get in touch with such a powerful place, one can not experience the power of prayer. Prayer is a good as crying. Praying is a beautiful smiling and it is all about a fantasy that you can carry in your heart at every juncture of life.
