Maarten,
A very interesting spin on prayer.
So what you are saying is that to be effective, prayer should be inwardly focussed rather than aimed at external requirements? Self-improvement, for want of a better word.
That certainly makes more sense to me than wishing for world peace or that someone won't die of a virulent disease. By your definition, it is something more akin to meditation and achieving mental focus.
It's a pity most theists don't view it that way.
