Sincerity in praying


A prayer is only valid by the thoughts that links it to the heart. A few days ago I wrote about colors and how looking into someone's heart reflects his real essence and not the outfit he is wearing or the matching colors. A simple prayer is the same thing.

For many, a prayer is an incomprehensible language, a group of words put together that sometimes don't touch the heart and soul. In order for it to be effective, every word must be understood because they will awaken an idea in our minds. Some people pray like robots memorizing the words as if they were doing a mathematical formula, granting virtue to the number of times it is repeated during the day. Others, pray because they think it's their duty or a family custom.

Our creator can read the deepest parts in our hearts to discover our sincerity and genuine thoughts. He doesn't like "symbolism over substance."
