Christian prayer varies from situation to situation. Prayer maybe in the form of worship or an act of need, be it good health, spiritual guidance from the Holy Spirit, confession, or an act of reparation. Mirian prayer (ṣluwta’), in particular, is mostly an act of devotion and growth through "Christ-realization". A prayer can never be a real prayer if it is not completely understood by the one who is praying it. It is dangerous to ask for something in prayer if one does not know what he/she is really asking for, or if it is worth praying for. The saying "prayer feeds the soul" is true in a sense that it brings us closer and to realization of God.
