Short Story: Prayer from the heart.

Reverend Eddy Fisher was giving a sermon about, "prayer from the heart." Here is what he said: "What exactly is prayer from the heart?" "Praying from the heart is praying with the help of the Holy Spirit." "Every prayer that we pray connects us more strongly to God's love. This is what prayer from the heart helps to achieve." "Prayer from the heart is prayer that is carried out in the name of Jesus Christ, and so it is being guided by the Holy Spirit that lives in your heart, and this holy spirit is being newly contacted again each time that you connect to your heart, and also whenever you aspire to pray from your heart." "When you pray with your mind, this can also be good in a way, but you need to drop down to your heart to bring in the greater connective power of faith that brings God to life in you, and which your mind can only surmise something about the existence of this great power, but of which it, itself, can never really know fully, and so mostly your mind will just go on doubting that which your heart already knows." "Prayer from the heart is the type of prayer prayed with the connective energy of love, linked into the guiding light of the holy spirit, that is living within your heart, with you." "This bypasses the wants and desires of your mind that only ever prays in order to get something, or to try to change something, and so to try to satisfy its own wants, and desires, somehow." "The heart represents a compendium of energy that is placed in each person when their soul was first created." "This energy of love can be utilised by that soul to program its human body, and mind to influence them from its own intuitive nudges and guidance, that are always being given to their human self, in this way. The emptiness felt in a solitary life comes from the mind trying to connect without the heart connecting with it, alongside of it." "Any such connection is based on faulty assumptions in believing that the mind can connect through similarities to another person, but this misses the truth that all connection to all others, God included, must always be made from love." "Opening our hearts in prayer returns us to good spiritual health." "Prayer brings us the full reality of God that is now being realised within our own loving hearts, when our hearts are connecting to God in prayer." "'There is a vast difference between saying prayers, and praying.'" "This quote is from Martin Luther King, Jr (1929 to 1968), the great American Baptist preacher, and civil rights leader. The quote highlights to us, the difference between repeating memorised prayers continually with our mind, and of praying heartfelt prayers directly from our hearts." "In conclusion to this short sermon about praying from your heart, here is a quote from the Christian bible, from Jesus Christ himself." "This passage is from the King James Version of the bible, from Saint Matthew's gospel, chapter six, and verses five to seven." "'And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.'" "'But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.'" "'But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.'" "The mind repeats formula-like prayers like this, but the heart is always fresh with its newness." "Pray from your heart by feeling deep within you the power of the Holy Spirit that is in you, and let it guide you in the words that you use, rather than just trying to find the words within your own mind." "Prayer from the heart is prayer from the heart, and it is not just coming from out of your mind." "You need to get out of your mind, to connect to your heart and when you do, your heart will pray for you. Your heart already knows how to pray, and this is what prayer from the heart is all about."
