I'm a big fan of prayer. I've shared with you before that I was raised as a Christian, and although my personal practice of "Christianity" does not follow any particular "religion", I do still believe that I found all of the teachings of the Law of One in the bible.
One of my favorite sections is Thessalonians 5:16-18: "16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is [the Creator's] will for you in Christ Jesus."
and if you combine that with the story in Matthew 22:35-41:
35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the [Creator] with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
So simple. But so profoundly complete.
