I do not believe one needs to speak out loud the prayer that they say. But saying the prayers out loud can be a good focus point if one finds it hard to just think it.
Yes. Any prayer, vocal or not, is good.

I understand what you mean. I use words, a lot of the time; but I also believe that we don't need words, if we don't wish to use them. Sometimes, articulating our thoughts is helpful -- and it lends extra power to our requests -- but He knows us (perhaps better than we know ourselves). I think I forget that, at times.
Again, you lost me. But thanks for sharing.
What about love? That is one of the most powerful communicative tools of all.Which would you prefer a person who does not talk to you but communicates through body language or a person who often talks to you but doesn`t show it through his/her body? God communicates through us, through calamities, through trials, through nature, etc. Do we communicate to God this way, too. Through wars, greed, hypocrisy, etc?:shout

Any prayer, or talking to the Divine I do when not in ritual is usually silent. In my head. Or a feeling of outreach from within.
In ritual, within circle, I often talk aloud. I find it helps to not only think and concentrate on things in my head, but to vocalize them as well. Helps for energy raising and application for magickal purposes.
To me, silent is prayer, while vocal is spellwork.
That is true to my thinking as well Draka.
Any vocal or written expression of MEANING
intended to shift a reality paradigm with power
is "SPELLING" to me as well
and it is a powerful powerful Majik. (Magick)
Is "silent" for you like contemplation?
or simply being?
or is it a connection with deity for you?
Just curious, if you don't mind my asking. :rainbow1:
