What is prayer? Is it asking God for what you want? Is it a way to beg for mercy? Is prayer simply talking to ourselves, a practice for self-centering? Or is it mainly a form of worship, to offer ourselves to the divine? In this talk for The Seekers Forum, Mark Matousek examines what prayer means and how we can use it in our lives. Can prayer be any sincere communication with a higher power, or does it require faith to work? Can a prayer be a scream, a moan, a berating? Does everyone have their own way of praying that unlocks their particular heart?
