Prayer is not just words; it serves as a kind of bridge between humans and higher powers, a time when we reach out to something greater than ourselves.

There are many forms of prayer that range from brief texts to long, complex rituals. They can be spoken aloud or in the silence of the heart, in solitude or in unity with others. Depending on cultural and religious context, prayers may take various forms: from ancient sacred texts to modern variations.
