3) Prayer of the mind

The prayer of the mind is a prayer of worship and praise.

This prayer can praise God, or thank God for his grace. The
prayer of the mind is a fruit formed from the prayer of the

body. As the prayer of the body is carried out, it eventually
arrives at the prayer of the mind. But most of the people

leave the prayer room after the prayer of the body. They are
leaving, without even having experienced a real prayer. There

comes a time, when prayers seem endless and boring, but we
know that a conversation involves an exchange of words. It is

regrettable that a person will only speak out and then simply
leave.

This is not the case for the prayer of the mind. A person
praying the prayer of mind has petitions with thanksgiving.

There is a praise. This type of person expresses a
thankfulness for God’s remarkable grace. The prayer of the

mind always sheds tears. There are tears in the prayer of the
body as well, but the tears from prayer of the body are full

of regrets, remorse and a bitter cry. While the prayer of the
mind is full of joy and tears of grace. These are the key dif-

ferences.
However, there isn’t much benefit in stopping at the prayer
