Brothers and Sisters, Ancient African people exercised prayer in the most sacred and brilliant way. Many people think that prayer has no real meaning today. Some people do not pray or meditate, because they think it will not really affect anyone’s life. We think, “I have prayed and nothing has really happened.” If you feel this way, then you are not praying or mediating correctly.
Prayer requires focus, because of the numerous obstacles you find in your daily path. We know that we must take action to help ourselves and others. Praying, focusing your mind on a specific thing, can and will move mountains. It is all in the approach. Clarity of mind is required and that can be a complicated task, because your mind is constantly clouded with the people and events distracting you and your daily path. However, you must learn that meditation and or prayer; a message to the universe, can and will affect your state of mental and physical being. Prayer is an art, and you must learn to master it before all your other skills, because it will catapult your success. It is all in mastering your own mind, which will put effects into motion.
Our ancestors incorporated speaking to the universe very often, throughout their day. Their practice was not always with grand events, but simply by one word of thanking or an act of giving; this was their prayer and this you will incorporate once you see how and why. The complexity and simplicity of the African spiritual practice was intertwined with their way of life. Through our relations’ words and through their action, the spirit was carried out within the sacred and secular. If we are accepting, we will do this as well.
This meditation and prayer can be expressed in many terms: thinking goodly, acting rightly, disciplining yourself, and giving of yourself. Much of it comes through being totally convinced in your meditation. Prayer is an act, an act of asking, believing, having faith and watching or feeling the results. Sisters and Brothers, learn from your past relatives and bring this spiritual tool in your life.
