My Child's Prayer Speaks Thousand Silent Words!
Does praying really bring devine help and peace?
Prayer is some kind of meditation to find peace of your mind for sure and will keep our selfishness in check.
"If we pray for others, we will open our heart for forgiveness", I was told.
Really? I can only hope that somebody prays for me.
**This is my daughter when she was 6 years old at our black & white, decorated Balinese Hindu "home-temple", holding an Incense-stick, deeply in prayer. **
Tahnee was born in New York City.
She recently told me that she became an Atheist without the believe in God.
I was kind of sad at first but accept her scientific approach to our universe.
I keep those memories and picture of my little girl, sending good vibrations to our universe.
I couldn't make it through without my daily, at least 5 minutes meditation, after waking up or closing my eyes to sleep. I couldn't bear the pain of various disappointments I still feel, otherwise.
I was raised as a moderate Christian because we were considered "Austrians" but nobody went to church, my mother refusing to pay their monthly taxes. We celebrated some "commercial" holidays but I don't consider my family religious people, nor good "Christians".
My mother was mad and kind of sad because nobody got her Easter eggs last year. Hmmm....
I am searching my whole life how to get rid of demons and devils, wanting to find out who my God is and still prefer practices in Buddhism and Hinduism but I finally believe that we all are Gods and Goddesses, if we choose to be.
Really?
My mother taught us one prayer only, I will always remember. It's hard to translate those sweet words exactly but it's simply the call for Jesus in a small childs ❤️ heart.
I still wish for Jesus to be on my side.
He was such a good man and damn cool! I never met anybody yet who could "make water to wine".
Did you ladies?
Jesus Kindlein komm zu mir
Mach ein frommes Kind aus mir
Mein Herz ist klein
Darf niemand hinein
Als Du mein liebes Jesuslein
I prayed in many different places in this world, churches, temples, mosques, beaches, mountains and dark rooms, especially when I was dancing to good music under the full moons.
“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
OM Swastiastu
[Go and Welcome in peace]

This offering of yours really brought a tear to my eye.
My iTunes shuffle kicked in with the song "protection", just as I started reading it, now i'm writing this reply through a glazed vision.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your heart, opening your soul and spreading your beautiful light onto this page, for a most touching read @Mammasitta.
I also stopped/lost believing at some point, early on in my life, during the post-initiation ceremony of the assimilated mind era.
Prayer/meditation allows an opening to a consciousness beyond.
And so - A practice that once seemed trivial at best, becomes a treasured gift.
Om lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu
OM SWASTYASTU My dear Matt!
My tears were running while I was writing this little story on my iphone app this morning, after spending a very important hour with my girl.
Your kind words and thoughts were missed and I am so happy to read this special comment.
Let's keep on praying whoever we feel to do so but I truly believe without meditation we will end up confused human beings.
Peace for you and all who read my words
❤️
We pray beacuse our soul speaks more than our lips can ever do.
Nice post.
I am so pleased to see a reply on one of my old posts. It’s really an interesting timing and reminder that I did not pray enough. I really needed to read this articles and your beautiful words of wisdom! Thank you!!!
You are welcome!
I was raised Muslim and I almost became an atheist like your daughter before coming to find the truth. You can read about my journey here and you can also find more about my beliefs on my weblog if you're interested in seeing what I think. All the best with your spiritual journey :]
Beautiful! I will take a look at your thoughts and why you obviously didn't become an Atheist. Nice to know you!
(Edit)
So you became Christian? I am very interested to know about your spiritual journey!
I have written a specific article where I debunk atheism. I have also written one where I debunk Islam. I've become a Christian but I do not agree with most Christians on a number of issues. You can read about those issues separately if you want. From the nature of hell to salvation which are very key issues and for these reasons I don't attend any church. It's hard to find a church where I would feel at home. Maybe one day I will plant my own church :P
Really interesting! I am reading on your blog now and forget to reply to my comments. I didn't expect such a good feedback so far because the photo is very amateur but the feeling in it speeks thousand silent words
Let me know how you go. If you have any questions about my blog, I'd be glad to help. Because to be honest with you, what I believe about Jesus and afterlife is the only thing that keeps me going, otherwise this world is a hopeLESS place to be in!
Let's plant 🌱 🙌 The seeds of our love for the universe and all Gods and Giddesses wherever they might be @msg768
God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer
I listen ......to my heart.....
I do believe that religion is just a means for us to make a good relation toward enviromentment, human, and also the God that we believe in.
and now i believe that by being good to environment and toward the other, is much more religious rather than you pray to God yet still doing bad things said bad things to the other.
😃😃😃😃
Beautiful believe !!!!
Hi @mammasitta I am really glad that you share this post.this is really helpful and informative to get peace, actually in today's world every one is finding peace and that post should reach to every one.so an upvote and resteem is must.
Thank you so much 🙌🙌🙌 I changed the subject line after reading your comment
so nice of you, you make me feel so special :) ....!
You inspired me and helped to make this article complete. Thank you again @tanzai
You are most welcome.
And you have great concepts which inspires me do thank you for that...! @mammasitta
I dont think one need to believe in something devine, god/devil/angels or some other religion and/or spiritual sole to be able to meditate. Meditation in the end is releasing our brains from thoughts to give it a reset, a rest and with that to be able to deal with the daily stress we get, and maybe also to accept better since with acceptance the stress levels gets lower.
We crave peace of mind! We all do!
Whoever and whatever we choose to find that kind of peace, is ok for me.

Better to believe in something without leaders and rules that can never be proven IMHO :)
You sound like my daughter 😝
Guess Karl Marx ideas where not that different comparing religion with opium. I have nothing against religion perse. But it is used for the bad; In the name of religion a lot of sh*t happened and still is happening in the world, that is part of the opium part of things I suppose.
Your daughter must be a very cleaver girl! :)
I agree !!!
For some people, Religion is like a drug !
@mammasitta I prosper in every place and in every situation, because You Lord, are always with me. Your presence brings with it Your power, protection, and peace. I thank You for blessing me to experience preferential treatment everywhere I go. You raise up people who use their power, their ability, and their influence to help me in ways I cannot help myself!!
Sometimes we pray as if we don’t really believe that God will answer us. But major religious texts declare that God often responds powerfully to a prayer that a faithful person prays.
You are a good Christian and do you also go to church?
I admire your powerful words.....Thank you!
Congratulations @mammasitta!
Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following category:
I pray, but i make my own prayers. If want it to have my energy and motivation. Not sure if it is working and what it exactly does but I know I feel a little better when I do.
Meeee too!
I always feel restless if I don't meditate = pray
