[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was not brought up in any religion, so I have limited understanding about prayer.

A friend said to me recently that she was praying and praying about a decision she had to make and therefore she made X decision.

What I don't understand is, how does prayer help you make a decision? Do you think you're getting an answer from a higher being? What does that answer sound like? How is prayer different than going through pros/cons of a decision, which one can do without prayer.

I'm not trying to be critical, just trying to understand.[/quote]

My understanding is this: she's basically asking God/dess /The Gods (we don't know what religion she is) to show her what the best decision would be according to her spiritual values. Sort like reviewing before a big exam, if you get my simile.

I'm in a spiritual rut right now, actually I'm mad at God as I was taught about him for some things that are happening, so I'd rather pray to my loved ones who have passed on. It's comforting because they know me, what I perceive as an answer is a sort of nonverbal "We've got your back". It can take various aspects, but that's very personal and I don't feel like sharing more in depth on a forum.[/quote]
