praying-for

Praying for things/others indicates attachment to ego and form and desire to control/hold on. In truth, Life will do what it will do and unfold how it will unfold. Every being in existence will gain and lose and gain and lose, on and on until they must finally lose this self they've temporarily gained.

Praying for specific things/people soothes the ego-mind, altering its perception and therefore experience of the unfolding. More than any tangible effects in the world, it temporarily helps the ego-mind let go of its need to hold onto its attachments and stave off the inevitable.
