What’s Prayer got to do with it? Let’s look deeply into the following questions and more about prayer: 1) Since God is the knower of the heart of every man, what does it matter if prayer is recited aloud and gesture or action is made? 2) When God already knows what we want, what is good for us, and what we need; why should we ask Him for it? 3) Why does God need praise from us? Who are we that we should praise God? Professor & Pir Emerita, Murshida Stephanie Nuria Sabato – educator, designer, world traveler, seeker, student, servant of God.
