PRAYER BASICS: WHAT IS PRAYER ANYWAY?
Prayer is a form of a spiritual practice, often associated with a religion, and believed by the faithful to have the divine power to bring about positive changes in one’s life and in the world around us.
In the Voodoo tradition, spiritual workers rely heavily on their abilities to commune with the Divine. All Voodoo rituals involve the worship of deities or spirits, and practitioners believe that these spirits can be invoked to help with various issues in their lives, such as healing illnesses or providing protection. With every Voodoo spell or ritual, you are absolutely communicating with the Divine Spirits for intercession.
DOES PRAYER WORK? IS PRAYER EVIDENCE BASED OR ONLY WORKS FOR THOSE BELIEVE? YOU DECIDE!
Interestingly, from a scientific perspective, there is some evidence to suggest that prayer can have a positive effect on physical and mental health, regardless of belief systems. We perceive that as divine 
energy in motion. For example, some studies have found that prayer can reduce stress and anxiety and may even improve immune system function. However, the mechanisms behind these effects are not well understood, and further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between prayer and health outcomes. Again, we perceive this as “the mysteries” of faith.
From most spiritual and certainly a Vodou perspective, the power of prayer is often attributed to the belief that it can connect us with a higher power or divine presence. Prayer can be a way to express gratitude, seek guidance or comfort, and ask for help in overcoming challenges. It can also be a way to cultivate a sense of inner peace and spiritual connection. It allows the communion between man and spirit to intercede on our behalf with any areas of struggle.
In essence, and from the vast experience that all spiritual workers see and experience in every spiritual consultation, ritual, or ceremony, we absolutely believe PRAYER WORKS!!! Prayer moves MOUNTAINS! Prayer makes MIRACLES happen!
We leave this age-old debate up to our readers but did want to include a list as to why prayer is so important for every aspect of your life, from a spiritual, magical, and manifesting perspective.
10 MOST IMPORTANT REASONS TO PRAY
Here are 10 reasons why prayer is considered important:
1. Connection with a higher power: Prayer is a way to connect with a higher power, whether it is God, the universe, or something else. Many people believe that this connection can bring a sense of comfort, guidance, and support. This is the connection necessary for all Voodoo Spells & Rituals and required for all manifesting your desires!
2. Reflection and introspection: Prayer can provide an opportunity for reflection and introspection, allowing individuals to examine their thoughts, beliefs, and values. Self-reflection is so powerful with prayer behind it; prayer reveals so many truths.
3. Gratitude: Prayer can be a way to express gratitude for blessings, both big and small. Gratitude is the key that unlocks EVERYTHING!
4. Forgiveness: Prayer can also be a way to seek forgiveness for past mistakes and to ask for the strength to move forward. Forgiveness is so critical in aligning everything in your life moving forward. We almost always require a Love Forgive and Forget ritual with every relationship reconciliation request.
5. Sense of peace: Prayer can provide a sense of peace and calm, especially during difficult or stressful times. Peace is priceless; don’t let anyone disrupt your inner peace.
6. Strength and courage: Prayer can give individuals the strength and courage they need to face challenges and overcome obstacles. Prayer is POWER!
7. Community: Prayer can bring people together, creating a sense of community and support. Praying with like minded souls moves mountains with the collective spiritual energy too!
8. Hope: Prayer can provide hope, even in the face of adversity or uncertainty. Hope is a gift to keep us moving forward even when our soul is tired.
9. Guidance: Prayer can be a way to seek guidance and clarity when making important decisions. You would be amazed at the revelations you experience when in prayer.
10. Purpose and meaning: Prayer can help individuals find purpose and meaning in their lives, and to feel connected to something greater than themselves. Prayer is so important for road opening, opening doors and new life paths.
