• সংক্ষিপ্ত: The widespread view is that prayer is the center of religious existence and that understanding the meaning of prayer requires that we assume God is its sole destination.

Prayer is, above all, the recognition that we are free to transcend the facts of our life and an expression of the hope that we can override the weight of our past and present circumstances.
