Mere words are not enough when you pray; you should offer your heart to God. Great souls completely offer their hearts to God in prayer. In the Mahabharatha, Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, always prayed thus: "Dear Lord, I worship You day and night. Please be compassionate and protect me. If You are compassionate towards me I will not be bothered about any challenges or ordeals that I may have to face". True to her prayer, she always received God's protection and overcame the innumerable troubles that she had to face in her life. Her devotion to Lord Krishna remained unaffected despite facing many trials and tests. Some may pray to Lord Rama, others may pray to Lord Krishna. Names and forms are many, but Divinity is one. Atma is the nameless formless Divinity.
