From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Prayer is a form of religious practice that seeks to activate a volitional connection to some greater power in the universe through deliberate intentional practice. Prayer may be either individual or communal and take place in public or in private. It may involve the use of words, song, or complete silence. When language is used, prayer may take the form of a hymn, incantation, formal creedal statement, or a spontaneous utterance in the praying person. There are different forms of prayer such as petitionary prayer, prayers of supplication, thanksgiving, and worship/praise. Prayer may be directed towards a deity, spirit, deceased person, or lofty idea, for the purpose of worshiping, requesting guidance, requesting assistance, confessing sins or to express one's thoughts and emotions. Thus, people pray for many reasons such as personal benefit or for the sake of others. Most major religions involve prayer in one way or another. Some ritualize the act of prayer—requiring a strict sequence of actions, or placing a restriction on who is permitted to pray—while many teach that prayer may be practiced spontaneously by anyone at any moment. Scientific studies regarding the use of prayer have mostly concentrated on its effect on the healing of sick or injured people. The efficacy of petition in prayer for physical healing to a deity has been evaluated in numerous studies, with contradictory results. There has been some criticism of the way the studies were conducted. From Wikipedia under the

The reason I ask is that if you think of something, or visualize something that you want, whether it be some object, and experience or and outcome; and you have faith that it will become, then isn't that the same energy as prayer? So, wouldn't that make prayer simply another concept of law of attraction? Are they both simply the power of the mind? Because I seem get the same results from both. Now that definitely changes the whole landscape, doesn't it? If we have the power to attract simply by the power of thought and imagination, then what does that say about prayer?
