[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to figure out a format for effective prayers to a Higher Power. I'm religious though not Christian, but I'm interested in hearing from people of every religion on one condition: you prayed in a specific way/format/routine and it actually worked.

Here's what I mean by format:
- Did you make offerings while praying? (candles, bread, etc)
- Did you offer to do something in exchange for your wish being granted? (e.g. "Lord, if you grant me ____, I will feed 100 hungry children in Your name.")
- Did you follow certain steps, such as praising God, explaining your problem, and then asking for help?
- Do you need to be a particular emotional state for the prayer to work?
- If you believe surrender is part of the prayer, what does surrender mean to you?

Any examples of prayers that were granted would be helpful too! [/quote]

The prayers that work are not those that ask for solutions to problems.  They are the ones that ask for you to have the ability to handle your problems.  "Give me the serenity to........" "Help me a just to the new normal.......".  "Give me the strength to ......"[/quote]
