He asks: “Is intentional power in the feeling of how we express those words, calling on Creator with emphasis and assurance when we say our prayers?”

Here are descriptions of inner strength and conviction and good examples of being effective as an advocate for the betterment of the self or others. After all, given the rules of engagement, that we cannot lead but must follow human requests in being invited to participate in your lives, that invitation needs to be effective, and the more it is from a position of strength and self-awareness, the more powerful it will be, and the more fuel it will represent, which we can use in answering the requests inherent with the intentions you are holding. Keep in mind, with any interaction with humans by the divine, it will be driven from the initial request and through implementation by the application of energy coming from the human side in the form of intention for something to happen. So how the intention is formulated, shaped, focused, and delivered will be critical in getting a divine response that is ideal and powerful enough to effect a betterment that is meaningful.
