It is most unlikely that prayer is considered offensive by rational people or anyone in authority. Followers of almost all religions pray - Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Zoroastrians, and so on. And just as the followers of each religion have their own prayers, they generally respect the prayers and religious customs of the people who follow other religions. Even atheists, while not believing in the efficacy of prayer, nevertheless respect the right of others to pray.

While prayer, in itself, is not and should not be offensive, it isimportant that the followers of any one religion do not seek to impose their prayers on those who hold other beliefs. Some societies restrict prayers in schools and other public areas, to protect the rights of those who do not wish to join in the prayers of others.

What are the differences between meditation deep relaxation prayer and hypnosis?

"Deep relaxation" prayer is not a standard theological kind of prayer. Most prayer merely petitions the Divine for something. For example, "Dear God please help me to get a new house" or "Dear God please help me pass the examination." This is egocentric, among other things. Absolute prayer is most like meditation. The purpose of absolute prayer is not to gain something but to become one with the Divine (however you may see that).


How would a Catholic use the Bible in private prayer?

A Catholic reads the Bible to become familiar with Scripture and to meditate on the Word of God..Catholic AnswerCatholic prayer using the Bible is called Lectio Divina (literally Divine Reading) and is when you use the Bible for meditation, for an explanation, please see the links below. Meditation is beginning prayer for a Catholic (outside of Vocal Prayer and Liturgical Prayer, but even Vocal Prayer should include Meditation or Mental Prayer: if you're not thinking about what you're saying, you're not praying). Advanced prayer is contemplation and is something that we, ourselves, cannot do, it is something given to us by God.

What would be the acronym for the word praise?

An acronym is used to abbreviate a phrase, not a single word. For example, SF for San Francisco (or science fiction), BART for Bay Area Rapid Transit, NATO for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. You will note that each word of the phrase being turned into an acronym is represented by its first letter. If you had a phrase that included the word prayer, then prayer would be indicated by a capital letter P. So for example, the Excellent Prayer Group would become EPG. The Fundamentalist Prayer Foundation would become the FPF. But prayer by itself does not call for an acronym.
