Hello Everyone, I would love to talk to you today about prayer
I always say prayer is one of the most powerful things in the world
that it can move mountains and a lot of the time some people would say to me they don't pray at all
but I don't believe that. I believe all of us do pray and we pray at different times
sometimes it can be like a thought that comes across our mind because we are worried about
someone and we say to ourselves I hope they get well or I must go and visit them
or we're worried about a pet you know our dog or someone else's or you know a farm animal and
just that thought within our mind within our subconscious you know speaks and that's a prayer.
Or even when we think of sending you know flowers to someone because they're not well,
those flowers are a prayer as well because you're sending them with love.
There is so many different ways that we pray and I think we don't even recognize it
but I do think we need to maybe become that little bit more conscious of prayer if we can
and not to be what would I say afraid of others when they pray you know because I think that is
one thing that so many religions have they all pray in a different way and it's like
you know if you don't pray like me then I'm afraid of you but the thing is about prayer
how could I say this it doesn't matter what you believe or which religion or faith you belong to
or even if you say I don't belong to any religion or faith.
When you think a positive thought for someone else, for good, for someone else
that is a prayer you know even when you're planting a plant in the soil and you suddenly say
even within your mind I want this beautiful plant to grow strong that is a prayer.
There is so many prayers we say and we are unaware of
but there is so many prayers we can say that we know of. I always remember
I don't know what country I was in and I just what would you say I was just enjoying myself I was out
and about and walking around and and all of a sudden I was passing you know this building
and I could hear people in prayer and the angel said to me Lorna go in
and I wanted to pray because it I find when people are praying I'm attracted
to it or attracted to them and I remember going through the doors
as quietly as I could because I knew people were praying and when I went in there
I stayed in the back I stood at the back and I just started to pray
and one thing remember
just seeing all the angels of prayer you know going upwards instead of downwards like a
fountain you know like a waterfall and seeing that light of all those prayers being said
and I just stood there at the back just praying em it was just a room
and there was men and women I can't remember seeing any children but mainly men and women and
they were all mixed and some of them were praying out loud some of them seemed to be praying quietly
but one of the things I found about
their prayer was and I asked God you know what are they praying about
what is this because I felt so much what would you say within that prayer so much excitement
so much determination so much belief you know it was powerful
and I suppose the powerfulness of it made it exciting as well I could feel all of
that energy and and of course seeing the angels of prayer as well you know
and then they started to sing
and that was so beautiful
and then the strange thing that happened was I was just standing there kind of
keeping out of the way joining in the
prayer and suddenly I was noticed
and the power of their prayer changed because their prayer lost love all of a sudden it was like
how dare you pray with us who are you and they didn't even ask you know
but how would I say I asked God at that moment why should they be afraid of me because
I stood there praying with them but not in the same way as they were praying
and Archangel Michael said because they are afraid of the way you pray
and I remember that just touching my heart
because I couldn't understand and even today I can't understand that either and I have found that
you know with so many different faiths
that there seems to be a problem that we are afraid of each other of the way we pray
and I would love that to go away because we shouldn't be afraid of the way someone else prays
we should be able to run forth, run in you know even if it's a field where people are praying or
it's in a building or you know the door should always be open that anyone can come and pray
that it doesn't matter of what faith or what religion you are or even if you belong to none
even if you say I don't believe in God I don't believe in any religion but everyone prays
and we all pray in just different ways and prayer is extremely powerful and that day I could feel
and I could see how powerful their prayer was and I asked God to
help them and to allow their prayers to be granted and I always even remember another time em
I was what would you say I was em I was at the airport and I went into the little room that
they have where people can go and pray and when I went in it was empty so I just sat down there and
I started to pray and I'd say I was there you know maybe 10 minutes praying
and I had my eyes closed and I remember other people came in and
they were praying as well but again which was sad they were all of a different faith
to me I am of all faiths because it's the one God
so I guess I find it hard to understand why we're putting barriers up but even at that time
there what would I say when I had opened my eyes there was two men standing in front of me
and they said you shouldn't be in here praying with us
you should leave and I felt so sad that they felt that way because I could feel the fear from them
as if I would come and contaminate their prayer but you cannot contaminate prayer
and because prayer no matter what
is going straight to God and the angels are even enhancing our prayer for us
and prayer is extremely powerful so i would love and I know it will happen one day
when people all come together of all faiths and even of none and you know pray together under the
one umbrella. I remember being shown that em that it would happen in the future and and seeing it
and just seeing what would I say you know the happiness and joy of everyone of every culture
in the world joined together and praying and completely what would I say mixed you know not
what would you say I don't know whether it's the word segregated I'm dyslexic so sometimes
words are hard to say but not in groups they were completely mixed and watching that and seeing the
power of that prayer and and the joy of it so I know one day we will get there but I think we are
a long way from it at the moment but I think it's all up to us to realize that prayer is for us all
you know and we shouldn't be afraid of each other or the way each other prays you know even em
what would I say I've just have had so many experiences of where
different faiths are in a sense a little bit offended by the way someone else prays and even
myself in in the sense of you know being brought up here in Ireland
and you know sometimes someone would say to me oh but Lorna em it's only our prayers that are heard
you know someone of another faith that prayer is not heard and I would always have to smile and say
you know everyone's prayer is heard it doesn't matter what faith you are
and that's why in one sense I'm saying I belong to every faith and I even belong to those
that say they don't believe in anything because prayer belongs to us all
no matter what we believe because we all pray at different times of our lives
there is always something happening that a kind thought comes across our mind or
or we say something that we want good for someone else it could be that we want them to get well it
could be that I please let them get that job or you know please let them be happy
I hate seeing someone so sad and all of these beautiful thoughts that cross our minds that
come into our consciousness and their prayers and again it's even like you know as I said earlier
we give someone a bunch of flowers or you know maybe we share or invite them out for a cup
of tea or coffee you know when we try to cheer someone up it is because we are feeling for them
and that feeling is a prayer that feeling of wanting to help of wanting them to get well
or wanting them for you know good things to happen for them or wanting to take away their pain
in some way that is a prayer so I would love everyone as I just say to everyone you know
prayer can move mountains you could be standing at your kitchen sink and you can say a little prayer
and I always love to remind people don't just pray for yourself and your family
I would always say pray for nature as well but pray for that stranger, pray for
the person in the world who feels that they're so hurt at the moment that things
are so bad that they feel they cannot pray for themselves, you pray for them.
so I'm going to leave you now and leave you with all of those thoughts.
Don't be afraid of the way someone else prays. Prayer is prayer if someone walks into
somewhere where you are praying and they are not of the same faith as you
allow them to pray there with you and allow your prayer to be enhanced and become more
or even invite them to join because we shouldn't be afraid of each other and I have seen that fear
and it shouldn't be there because we're all brothers and sisters and we all need prayer
we all need to pray for each other because we love each other. I believe we do even though some people
would say no but i love you and i don't care what you believe in I love you so please pray
so I'm going to let you go now and I'm going to say God Bless and love you lots. Bye Bye
