Laila, that is beautiful. Of course, sometimes we are not ready for the answer given.

In my mind, prayer is release, at least in the context you are referring to, Neil. When we pray for healing, or some other specific problem that we can not fix, we are releasing that problem to a higher power. It helps give us a feeling of control instead of a feeling of helplessness. But like Laila, I believe that sometimes we are not ready for the answer that is given. We have a specific solution in mind when we pray, and that is not always the way something needs to be. Prayer is different from magick. Magick is when you focus energy to make a certain outcome, and prayer is asking for it. There is a difference. Prayer is when you are powerless, and magick is when you are powerful.

I know this is cryptic, but you have asked a tough question. I hope this makes some sense to you (even though I know you prefer your answers to be senseless.), and brings some understanding to you.
