			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is essentially a webliography of sites that I came across whilst researching things to do with Prayer.</p>
<p><a href="http://truthseekingsouls.org/" target="_blank">http://truthseekingsouls.org/</a> is an interesting site with loads of information on all kinds of things to do with spirituality, this article; <a href="http://truthseekingsouls.org/2007/03/29/prayer.aspx" target="_blank">http://truthseekingsouls.org/2007/03/29/prayer.aspx</a> has some nice extracts from Wikipedia. Also I liked this on &#8220;Dharma&#8221;</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">&#8220;Dharma&#8221;                          means &#8220;protection&#8221;. By practising Buddha&#8217;s teachings                          we protect ourself from suffering and problems. All the                          problems we experience during daily life originate in                          ignorance, and the method for eliminating ignorance is                          to practise Dharma.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">Practising                          Dharma is the supreme method for improving the quality                          of our human life. The quality of life depends not upon                          external development or material progress, but upon the                          inner development of peace and happiness. For example,                          in the past many Buddhists lived in poor and underdeveloped                          countries, but they were able to find pure, lasting happiness                          by practising what Buddha had taught.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a title="Iann Schonken" href="http://iannschonken.wordpress.com/2007/10/27/what-is-prayer/" target="_self">Iann Schonken </a>is an evangelist blogger. This article begins with;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>What is Prayer?</strong></p>
<p>(a) A reverent petition made to God<br />
(b) An act of communion with God<br />
(c) Communication with an all-knowing, ever-present, almighty and loving God<br />
(d) Adoration; Confession; Thanksgiving; Supplication (earnest petition)</p></blockquote>
<p>It seems strange to me that it is a &#8220;reverent&#8221; petition &#8211; the definition of reverent appears to be Godly, so that makes it a Godly petition made to God. English I guess.</p>
<p>This one is a comic site, <a href="http://shpyo.net/prayer-20/" target="_blank">the commandments 2.0</a>, the first three;</p>
<ol>
<li>I am the <strong>LORD2.0</strong> your God who brought you out of the land of web1.0, 				from normal colours and <strong>no tags</strong></li>
<li>Thou shalt have <strong>no other gods</strong> before Me (except good friend &#8211; Google)</li>
<li>Thou shalt <strong>use &#8220;2.0&#8243;</strong> or <strong>&#8220;beta&#8221;</strong> and pastels colours on your every new website project</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://cauley.preachersfiles.com/prayer/" target="_blank">http://cauley.preachersfiles.com/prayer/</a> has bible lessons and a wealth of in-depth information on the how the Church of Christ view prayer. Not exactly for me, but certainly interesting.</p>
<p><a href="http://yeshuablog.wordpress.com/2007/09/07/prayer/" target="_blank">Yeshuablog</a> says;</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #222222; font-size: x-small;"> Many people question what is prayer because they desire to pray, but don’t know how. Consider these tips:<br />
Praying is like talking to your best friend! It’s easy to talk to someone when you know they love you unconditionally!</span></p></blockquote>
<p>This is taken from <a href="http://www.prayingconstantly.com" target="_blank">www.prayingconstantly.com;</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Different faiths number them different.  We base many of our laws on them, yet won’t display them in a public setting.  If you can only learn one, learn the first one and the others will never be a problem.</p></blockquote>
<p>The sections on manhood and adultery seem especially confusing!</p>
