Do You Know How To Pray?

Do you know how to pray?

I ask this because for a long time, I didn’t quite fully understand it. I thought you prayed when something was going wrong or when you needed help.

In other words, prayer was often about asking. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with asking. But I’ve since learned that prayer is so much more than that.

Years ago, I heard someone describe it this way:

Prayer is speaking to God. Meditation is listening to God.

It’s stayed with me ever since. Because if you think about any meaningful relationship in your life, you wouldn’t only speak to someone when you needed something from them. You wouldn’t only reach out when things were falling apart.

So why would our relationship with God, Source, the Universe –  whatever language feels true for you, be any different?

Prayer can be gratitude.
It can be appreciation.
It can be conversation.
It can be surrender.
It can simply be, I’m here.

And maybe even more important than the words we use is the energy behind them.

Are you praying from fear or from love?
From desperation or trust?
From please make this happen or show me the way?

Because two people can say the exact same prayer and be holding a completely different energy underneath it.

This week on the Spiritually Wired Podcast, we explore prayer and so much more with Eric Bigger – author of Spiritual Fitness. And yes… Spiritually Wired officially meets the Bachelor franchise for the first time!

You may know Eric from The Bachelorette, but our conversation goes somewhere very different (although I definitely asked about his experience on the show and his many other reality TV appearances!).

We talk about prayer, manifestation, spirituality, and why our spiritual practice needs both the receptive feminine and the action-oriented masculine. Eric also shares the steps in his Spiritual Fitness methodology and how they can support you in your own life.

Remember to breathe, and trust that you are spiritually wired for your dreams – they’re already waiting for you.

Sending much love your way.
