Wow, I just came across this thread tonight & you are not
alone. I too woke up this morning reading & analyzing the words of a prayer. In my case, the prayer was the Hail Mary. It seemed important for me to read each word carefully & understand the true deeper meaning/truth of each sentence. Like it was telling me a story. I am not even a christian & I have never made progress with prayer. Meditation is my practice & I make progress with it. So I was so surprised to wake up with this prayer on my mind & I really don't know what the significance is. But I will write out the words & try to understand the deeper meaning of the prayer, when I stop procrastinating. This is the first time this has happened to me.
