Prayer is a method of revealing our faith and trust in a greater power, and it is a way of asking for assistance and strength to help us through hard times. Prayer is also a method of expressing thankfulness for the true blessings we have actually received. Through prayer, we can find peace and convenience in understanding that we are not alone in our battles.

"I prayed to dispel my fear, until suddenly, and I do not know how the idea came to me, I began to pray for others. I prayed for everyone who came into my thoughts - - people with whom I had traveled, those who had been in prison with me, my school friends of years ago. I do not know how long I continued my prayer, but this I do know - - my fear was gone! Interceding for others had released me!"
