(November 17, 2015 at 11:55 am)Rhythm Wrote: Think of prayer like meditation Mia.  Especially in the case of rote or repetitive prayer.  It constricts your breathing to a pattern, and shifts your focus away from self.  If it's a standardized regimen of prayer it imposes structure.  Prayer and "divine experience" show an unsurprising correlation.  Does this help you to understand why your friend prays to "let go" of difficulties?

That's very true. But it has the added danger of making you feel like you've taken action regarding an external problem when you have done nothing.
