When I was young, my family rarely went to church. We were Polish and Italian, traditionally Catholics. I had my first glimpse of Jesus hanging on the cross in one of those churches and it brought me to tears.
Since then I was always puzzled how to reach "him". It seemed the priests had taken over the ability to reach "him". They would tell you what penance to pay, how to atone for your sins and how to live a "good" life. Yet I felt Jesus with me sometimes, and knew somehow everyone, not only the priests, could reach God themselves.
I remember struggling when I was young, trying to know the "right" words to say to "him". It was during a thunderstorm, when I was very afraid, alone in the attic, that I began to just "talk" to him.
My talking lead to peace and that peace led to a hand, although not visible, being placed on my forehead. Someone had heard my prayer, someone had come, and they had comforted me.
The power of prayer is great. Yet some of us only use it when we seek to get ourselves out of the darkness and return to the light. If we continue to reach for the light always, the light will always be with us. There will be no more fear of the darkness.
They have had studies of the power of prayer. The studies have shown that the ill who have been prayed for, even without their knowing, were healed quicker. The reach for prayer has brought about miracles all over the world, and the ardent, honest, heart felt prayer always brings the greatest of spirits in answer to your request.
Prayer can bring intercessions, healing, freedom from binds, and transformation for you life. When you pray you reach for a higher power, one that is greater than your own ego self. When you pray in servitude, it is with the earnestness of the heart that God himself sees and so not only your prayer is made manifest, but so is his.
Michael Jackson had always been a faithful prayer servant. For hours at a time he prayed to God to show him what else he could do for humanity as a whole. At times the guests at his home, Neverland, bore witness to his sincere and remarkable gift to connect with God himself.
Tonight I've been reminded of prayer, by friends who have lifted me through difficult times in my life. Both here and on the other side. When you are faced with adversities in your own life, I hope you too will seek guidance from above. It is there that you will find the strength, love and light we all so desperately need in each and every hour of our lives.
I'd like to share something Michael himself said on this blog a few years ago. The Conrad Murray trial had just started. That day I watched. I was exhausted. I asked Michael that evening how he felt and his answer surprised me. I suppose I expected him to remark about the case or express his feelings about the testimony, but he didn't. This is what he said . .
"I am humbled. I can't believe the number of fans all over the world that are supporting me. I hear them. I hear all of them. Every word. It's amazing. The prayers, the wishes, the desire to do good, everything is in my heart and I can't believe the outpouring of love. It's truly, truly amazing. I wish I could be there to share it all with you. I wish you could know the love I feel in my heart for every one of you. If you could only know the way the world really works you would know that I'm at peace. The love you have given to me may not have nourished my body, but it has nourished my soul. That love can take you to the heights of reality. The true reality is that of the spirit, and in the spirit of love. Lift yourselves up to a place of love and you will soar."
Our prayers are heard all over the universe. When you pray, you never know who might come to help you. It even may be someone who once wore a white glove. Those that choose to service the father in life, will always serve him, whether they are here in body or have transcended through death. Our spirits live on, and so does our will to serve the father.

Yes, lovely from MJ. That is what he feels and hears when someone thinks or speaks to him. All who have passed who are behind the veil hear us all the time when we reach out and pray. The Power of Prayer is VERY POWERFUL. A lady I know who channels many of the Ascended Masters including Jesus/Sananda said this which rings true for me personally.
"I started to learn about the complexity of a soul energy, that every single entity that came to share upon my bathtub of enlightenment were all me. All aspects of my soul energy. When I owned that as me, they ceased the seperation… individuation, and spoke in one collective voice"
Many times when we are connecting to spirit, they blend their energies and quite often the energies are a group entity
Here is also a piece from MJ himself through Sananda.
It is rather intriguing to see now I have the observer point to view things that I am no longer bound by just a human point and human view. I am able to view aspects at great heights, great compassion, understanding and I see that there is really no separation of a soul of this type or soul of that type, but we are just one soul grouping that comes from the core being of the centre of the Universal touch, the Godhead, the God source, the source
of all things, the light of the universe, from there we all breathe and we have this eternal connection which is where we are connected to many various expressions and this was my and this was my message, this was what I tried hard to say, but failed in so many many ways but I am so relieved and so happy that I have touched so many lives, so I asked that those that have been touched by my life, touched by my words, by my songs, that they would continue to give my message that there is love and if we have love then we are definitely most assuredly on the road to peace”
