“ God answers the soul’s attitude, not the words.” -Urantia Book

God answers man’s prayer

by giving him an increased revelation of

truth,

an enhanced appreciation of

beauty,

and an augmented concept of

goodness.

Prayer is a subjective gesture,

but it contacts with mighty objective realities

on the spiritual levels of human experience;

it is a meaningful reach by the human for

superhuman

values. It is the most potent spiritual-growth stimulus.

Words are irrelevant to prayer;

they are merely the intellectual channel in which the river of spiritual supplication may chance to flow.

The word value of a prayer is purely autosuggestive in private devotions and sociosuggestive in group devotions.

 God answers the soul’s attitude, not the words.

Prayer is not a technique of escape from conflict but rather a stimulus to growth in the very face of conflict.

Pray only for values, not things; for growth, not for gratification. Urantia Book  Paper 91
