He asks: “How much do our emotions contribute to the intentional power when we say our prayers?”

We would say it is not the emotions that create the power but the emotions reflect the power that is present. This is a consequence of your consciousness influencing the body physically. You are designed that way, to care about things, and have that caring translated into feelings that you can perceive within, emotionally. So emotions are the readout representing the consequences of an intention you are holding. Some emotions are more striking than others. Some may not be as perceptible in terms of representing the strength of an intention, depending on the personality and the personal makeup, and what the particular issue is in the moment. For example, a desire to have something happen that carries strong conviction, and an intense intention for that to come about, might not be perceived as having an emotion in the moment because nothing is perturbed. Many times emotions are a representation of a deviation from a midpoint of balance and calm. So having a strong resolve and inner conviction, to stay the course, for example, and to want something to happen for that to be successful, may not stir strong feelings normally, but these will be perceived by the self as meaningful although they can be more readily underestimated. An understanding of emotions and the vibrational scale is useful because not all emotions are conveying the kind of conscious focus and intention of the most desirable quality. The greatest power one can have is to be in the flow of loving kindness even under difficult and trying circumstances. This is a high standard and difficult for many to achieve and maintain. This is more easily understood in considering the fact that wanting divine assistance because one is terrified and feeling helpless and in a hopeless situation is quite unlikely to achieve a divine intervention, as there is no positive intention for the divine to use, there is only a series of negative emotions, with a void of any positive conviction about the possibility things can be turned around because one is worthy of divine support, and there is confidence that will be forthcoming, and faith it will happen, and a determination to stay the course while one is waiting for God to show up. In that description, each of those components is a positive intention, and those intentions are not necessarily highly emotional. For example, confidence, faith, determination are all powerful intentions because they are a high vibration and in divine alignment in wanting things to happen, rather than being in a state of negativity, emotionally unfocused, going off in all directions, confused, and uncertain. That is the opposite of having a good sense of what is needed and an ability to give clear directions to the divine about what is wanted and how it is needing to happen. So there is an art to cultivating and promoting self-interest, interacting with the divine, and oftentimes much healing needs to happen to become adept in partnering with the divine.
