Prayer is the process of seeking for answers through internal dialogue.
In many cultures, a prayer is a conversation with God.
Whether you believe in God or not, prayer is at its core a conversation with oneself.
This introspection is what leads to enlightenment and self-discovery.
This is why those who do not believe in God can find answers just the same as those who do.
The answers truly are within us, we need only ask ourselves the right questions and give ourselves the permission to listen to our inner voice.
