Why pray?
Originally published in the September 11, 1970 issue of The Christian Science Monitor
People pray for many reasons. Some feel they should. Some do it from habit. Some are afraid of what may happen if they don’t. But many know from experience that prayer helps them to think better, feel better, and do better.
What is prayer? Prayer is communion with God. It is the outreaching thought that turns away from self-centeredness and smallness and opens to the infinite, the enduring, the wise, and good.
