I don't know, but something tells me that the rhyming prayer conventions of today are a far cry from the prayers sent up by our ancestors in ancient times.
When I hear the priests sing the prayers at mass, and I think of how monks always have tonal resonance to their prayers, I always wonder....are prayers supposed to be sung? Does singing a prayer make it more powerful?
As much as we learn about the world today from a scientific standpoint, it seems as if we've lost just as much information from the spiritual standpoint.
I can't help but feel there is so much TPTB are hiding from us. They want to keep the secrets for themselves and leave us ignorant to information even our ancestors were privy to.
I guess they fail to realize that an ignoramus can't be blamed for their sins. After all, how can one sin if one doesn't even know what is wrong and what is right?
They are trying to corrupt us on a daily basis, but by withholding our God-given right to this knowledge, all they are doing is really reverting us back to our true selves.

When we hear of how people used to pray in the olden days, it would be a much more solemn, intricate process than it is today.

Ignorant.
Happy will come later.
But let he who can read,read the word for himself! If you don't learn and you take the word of others how can you ever know if right is right and wrong is wrong? You must also know that the bible is not the whole bible it its a condensed version the book of genesis is twice as thick as the modern king James or its takeoffs versions! If you don't know why we have the king James version then you won't understand that there is much much more to God than whats in that book alone!

Prayer is thought energy.
Really doesn't matter what method is used.
Only matters if it is positive or negative.

And this is what this thread is about, the totally false interpretation about what prayer is, And what God has said about it!!!!!!
God hears your prayers he don't feel your energy! He said I have HEARD your prayers and I am listening!

I pray all the time. I believe prayers can be sung. In our sacred sweat ceremonies we sing songs to the Creator. I know that according to the Bible, one is not supposed to say repetitive prayers, like say Hail Mary's. I know when I'm dying I'll sing a death song, that's a kind of prayer. I warn my relatives that I'm coming to the skyworld to meet them, and thank the Creator for the life I've had on earth. I think one could sing their prayers, just try not to repeat too much.
