What is prayer?
Is prayer just a set of words being spoken to an unseen being? Is prayer simply a ritual to appease a deity? Is prayer an equation that unlocks supernatural happenings?
Prayer was meant to be a relationship in which we connect with our Creator, not a duty or an appeasement. However, there are subtle (and not so subtle) ways that prayer can be reduced to “religion”.
Take for instance this website that Beth Rogers told me about. You can pay money to put your prayer requests into a computer with speech capability that will then recite your prayers out loud to God. For a nominal subscription fee of course.
I also found this service online as well. I like the way it attaches your brain to the computer. Please tell me this is a joke, because it’s kinda funny if it is a joke.
Personally, I think I would rather pay this cat to pray for me.
