Our task then, when we pray, is to send our words higher by examining them deeper. Our words climb to Heaven when we apply them deep within our heart. When these words move us to act compassionately with another human being, When these words inspire us to acts of kindness and concern. That has been a very difficult question over the ages. Different faiths have proposed different solutions.
Some faiths claim that prayer is the ultimate personal experience.
When we pray, we are alone with our Creator and the changes that we feel are our personal connection to G-d. After all, a spiritual experience is not one that can easily be shared with others. What we feel in our moments of spiritual understanding can not be explained with much meaning to other people. Such religions tend to insist that all prayer is personal and that communal prayer is not helpful. In such denominations, a prayer service virtually never takes place.
