from the conversation below, it seems to me that even though we don't really understand what prayer means, is or does, or even if we don 't believe on it, there is something magical about it. Well, it is an understantement but maybe we could see if there are any rules to it and we could make the "magic" spread out and be more frequent.
Can anybody remember of the circumstances (desperation, need, attitude, etc.) when certain things happen as a result of prayer? Is prayer only a tool for Christians but not for others? I know that Wiccan people pray and are very aware of not prayin negative things on other (sort of white magic, I guess).
