[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have prayed to the Universe, or with the hope that the goodness in the Universe can help someone heal.  I have “prayed” in the hope that my sincere good wishes can somehow reach and touch someone I love.  Prayer can be directed towards someone that you want to hold in prayer — without identifying a specific divine intermediary.  I have a friend who prayed with and for me during a time of crisis and I truly valued the gifts of his spirit. 
As others have said, you can also reach out in other ways — particularly as time passes, to let you know that they are in your thoughts and to offer practical assistance. [/quote]

If I made a video of me and my child “praying” in this way, would it be offensive to someone religious?[/quote]

I really can’t think of a way it would be offensive.

I think the most people who grew up in a multicultural environment would consider any contemplation of a force larger than yourself to be a prayer.

God is the breath of life, and He is everywhere and always filling the world with divine presence.  If you are praying to the inexplicable beauty of a spider’s web, to the mystery of the quarks that make up the hadrons that make up the protons and neutrons in the atoms that compose our world, or you pray to the vastness of the ever-expanding universe, then you are praying to God.
