More coming on this, either in article or booklet form, but here is one way of looking at prayer - these are its components in relationship to Spirit:
P - Praise
R - Reverence
A - Acceptance
Y - Yearning
E - Excitement
R - Release
I believe these are the elements required to realize a more fulfilling prayer life and to perceive the answers to prayers more rapidly in manifested form. Thank you God for showing this to me!
Blessings be to God!

Moment to Moment
Thank you precious spirit for allowing me to have awareness of You. Sometimes I know I deny that awareness when I am feeling weak and lazy. But you are never too lazy to be there for me. All I need to do is turn to You. Perhaps I don't see the miraculous resolution to my requests immediately, but I can be assured that you are working through me to help bring out the best result. I have to stay true to You so I can avoid falling back into old ways of responding. When I think my prayers are not being answered, that's when I am denying the power that you have and that you are expressing through my life. Help me to be aware that you are always in charge - no matter what it looks like on the outside - no matter how angry or hurt I feel about something someone has done - you are still in charge. My purpose is to follow the path laid out before me, do the things I know to do and when I forget, help me to be gentle with myself, not harsh - for you are never harsh with me so why should I be harsh with myself or with anyone else? Help me to express - your everloving compassion to all those around me - even when I don't feel that way. I do want to feel that way, above and beyond my humanness. For I truly do want to express the best of you and that means from within me, throughout all my life, and in every thought, word, and deed. May it be so now and always, and may I be confident in my trust in you for the right outworking of all my desires. Help me to have patience when I don't feel any progress is being made toward my dreams. There is a purpose, rhyme, and reason for it all, even when I don't see it, so help me remain true to my commitment to you so I can be a better example to others. May I be aware of your blessings every day.
Amen.
Amen.

Prayer for the Fires in California
Holy Spirit - Thank You for all that you have given us! Help us to be strong now in the face of these changes occurring as a result of the fires burning in California (and anywhere else!). We know that somehow there will be miracles resulting from this transformative experience. Thank You for making us strong, helping us to think of others before ourselves, for cooperating with the authorities and reaching out where we can. Help us to release our attachment to the physical, as this experience teaches us about letting go and letting a new Understanding of Your Love come through to us. Thank You for the goodness and power You are showing through everyone who is working to help each other get through this. May the service departments all Know Your Undefeatable Strength through continued energy, vitality, and encouragement. Let them know they are not alone. Provide them with the Guidance they need to make the right decisions that protect lives and property in the best way possible. For all those directly affected, may they experience a Renewal through this experience unlike anything they have experienced before. May they be Bl;essed by Your Grace 100-fold and help them to Look Forward with Great Expectations. Letting Go can be hard but Greater Strength comes as a result of Trusting You. Thank You Precious Spirit for Allowing Your Grace, Your Blessings, an dYour Presnece to be Visible, Tangible, and Acknowledged in and through this time of challenge and change.
Holy Spirit, we ask and know that we Receive Your Goodness now, and we are Thankful that You are Present with us, silently and lovingly guiding us to a Place of Sacred Grace greater than we have known before.
In Your Name and Through Your Grace, with the Best and Highest Good for All Concerned,
Amen.

Pray and Go! prayer cards...
"Pray, without ceasing."
- 1 Thessolonians 5:17
- 1 Thessolonians 5:17
In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, we are told to
“pray without ceasing.”
No matter how busy our lives become, we can always have time to pray! Our beautiful “Pray-and-Go” cards are compact in size, with a short, to-the-point prayer that you can take with you anywhere! They are a “point of contact” you can use to help you remember to pray—anywhere, anytime!
Read the short prayer, hold the pre-prayed-over card in your hand as you ponder the message, keeping it with you all day—at home, at the office, on the go! You will feel the Creator’s Presence within you as you go about your normal activities! And you will have the patience, will-power, unconditional love, and gratitude in act and attitude to face every challenge the day can bring!
Our Pray-and-Go cards don't do the praying for you, of course, but they serve as a point-of-contact, something tangible you can use to improve your concentration and focus.
To receive a free set of ten business-card size Pray-and-Go cards that you can print for immediate use, simply send your request via e-mail to prayngo@yahoo.com and ask for the free prayer cards.
Every set of Pray-and-Go cards have been prayed over and blessed by an ordained non-denominational minister. Prayer is unconditional, just like Spirit.
To receive a laminated set or to have a set created especially for you for your personal use or as a gift, contact prayngo@yahoo.com with details of what you want and how you can make a Love Offering Donation to assist with production expenses.

Contributing to Your Spirit...Helping Us Help You!
There are lots of ways you can contribute to help make this mission successful in reaching out and spreading the blessings and abundance of Spirit across the globe!
How?
You can contribute by devoting some time each day to prayer. This is probably the greatest thing you can do - along with giving time to meditation as well - to impact your life in a positive, truly spiritual way. Prayer and Meditation are our communication tools with Spirit. They are for our benefit, for Spirit already knows the content of our hearts and minds, but when we use them correctly, we experience greater peace, more harmonious relationships, and the flow of harmony in all we do, thus awakening a true sense of Gratitude!
We have designed Pray-and-Go prayer cards to help us remember that there is always time to pray, no matter how busy the day! Find out more about these cards by contacting us at prayngo@yahoo.com.
You can contribute by sending us your true stories of how Prayer and Meditation - or, if you feel, more directly, Spirit - have affected your life in positive ways. What have they done for you? How is your life improved by practicing prayer and/or meditation? What methods work for you? Share your spiritually inspiring story and encourage others!
You can contribute by submitting prayer requests, or by joining our Pray'n'Go Prayer Circle. Our Prayer Circle is made up of people like you who feel blessed enough to want to help others by praying for them. If you would like to be part of our Prayer Circle, send an e-mail request to prayngo@yahoo.com and give us your name, location, etc., and explain why you want to be part of our Circle. Then, when we receive prayer requests, we will send a note out to our Circle and start the forward motion to bringing spiritual healing into the requester's life. Confidentiality in this process is mandatory. Only first names will be shared from the requests and full names and locations will never be divulged or published unless by express written consent of the individual wanting to share his/her/their story.
You can contribute by utilizing our services and purchasing products where available. Or, you can contribute by making a donation. We are a charitable educational spiritual program operated solely by time and resources donated; any additional financial proceeds or other resources received will go directly into the services and products we offer throughout this website and its siblings to help others - guaranteed! Find out more by contacting us at prayngo@yahoo.com.

A little more about us...
"Pray and Go!" is an inspiration from Spirit to help us practice more of what we hope to teach others, and to help others move beyond thinking about Spirit to actually making spirituality a part of daily life! Prayer and Meditation are the tools we can use to do that!
Busy lifestyles are too often the excuse why we don't commit more time to our internal spiritual life. Then we feel guilty because we haven't prayed or meditated or spent time in study or reflection about Spirit's presence in our lives.
No need to feel guilty! Just know there's a time and a place for Spirit in your life and that time is now and the place is here!
Our Mission: The Mission of Pray and Go is to become more aware of the Presence and Power of Spirit in our lives at every moment, and to help others become more Aware by empowering them with the tools of Prayer and Meditation, and further, encouraging the use of these tools at every moment possible, so to reap the rewards of a life more blessed by the expressive presence of Spirit.
MORE TO COME! We are still in the development stages but are here to serve and help you now...

Welcome to Pray and Go!
Welcome! take a moment to stop and reflect...
Chances are, you think about Prayer and Praying more than you actually pray. Maybe you tell yourself you don't have time to pray like you want to, you don't know how to pray, you may not think your prayers are received so what good is it, and so on.
The truth is: There is no excuse why anyone should not have time to Pray - to spend time in quiet thought, contemplating, listening, and just Being... with Spirit. (Spirit, as used in this website and all related writing, is the Universal term for God, Allah, Creator, Higher Power, Great Spirit, GodSpirit, or whatever other term you may use or have used in reference to our Creator.)
Through this blog, we will be sharing with you ways that you can use to incorporate prayer and meditation - your own personal communion and communication vehicle - with Spirit - into your daily life so that you will learn how to "pray without ceasing."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Life can be busy, but there is always time for Prayer!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
a two-way street...
Just as talking with a friend requires two-way speaking and listening alternately, so does communication with Spirit require a period of expressing yourself and then listening for an answer.
We will learn that Prayer is the active - or expressive - part of the communication exchange. Meditation then becomes the listening part.
Will you be required to sit in a quiet dark room all day to experience effective prayer and meditation benefits?
No! Our purpose is to help you learn how to make these experiences part of your everyday life!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
some of the concepts we'll share:
* What is Prayer?
* How can I make more time to Pray?
* What are the Benefits of Prayer for me?
* What is Meditation?
* How do I meditate?
* What is the difference between Prayer and Meditation?
* What is the difference between Spirituality and Religion?
* True Stories of How Prayer Helps and Heals!
...and lots more as time goes by!

Holy spirit, help me to make time today to be with You consciously - in praise and gratitude for all my blessings. Help me to be a good example to others as I demonstrate Your goodness through my thoughts, words, and actions.
I am thankful that You are Present within me at all times, so no matter how busy I am, I can still make room for You.
Thank You, Precious Spirit, that this is so now and always!
Amen!
