If the person receiving the basket managed to catch the giver, however, a kiss was to be exchanged.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/blog\/may-day-baskets-and-sweet-easy-love\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b><i>READ MORE: MAY DAY BASKETS AND SWEET, EASY LOVE<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While the custom of \u201cMay Baskets\u201d has disappeared, I\u2019d like to suggest a prayer experiment that is somewhat similar. Frank Laubach wrote, in his classic volume, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1614272689?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creativeASIN=1614272689&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;tag=bobhostecom-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prayer\u2014The Mightiest Force in the World<\/a><\/em>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:35.45pt\">Some of us who travel much have hundreds of days when we can sit behind people in street cars, trains, stations, restaurants, concerts or lectures, and pray at the back of their heads with our eyes open to see how many of them show signs of being aware.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:35.45pt\">Some time ago, I was looking at a man sitting by an open window half a block away. I shot a rapid fire of prayer at him, saying three or four times a second: \u201cJesus, friend\u2014Jesus is coming to you.\u201d In thirty seconds that man put his head in his hands and bent down over his desk as though in prayer. Flashing hard and straight prayers in a street car while repeating, \u201cJesus, Jesus, Jesus\u201d usually makes some of the people near you act as though they had been spoken to. If they do not respond the first time, you can return again and again, until they show signs of being \u201ctuned in.\u201d They look at you curiously, often smile, and frequently say something. All Christians should acquire this habit. I will try to describe how it feels. It seems to me I am pushing these prayers from my breast and fingers, as well as from my brain\u2014from my whole nervous system. I find myself exhaling a little through my nose with each pressure. After a while, the car or room seems gently \u201cexcited,\u201d like the magnetic field around a magnet. Everyone behaves like an old friend. People seem to like us to pray for them\u2026.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:35.45pt\">Far from making one tired, this prayer for others is the finest tonic I know. When you are utterly tired from work or study, walk out into the street and flash prayers at people. Your nerves will tingle with the inflow from heaven. Prayer \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.enotes.com\/shakespeare-quotes\/quality-mercy-strain-d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is twice blest. It blesses him that gives and him that receives<\/a>.\u201d If you want an experience full of profit and stimulus, take a day off and ride <em>incognito<\/em> in the buses or street cars of your city, flashing strong, fast prayers at people one by one, and nothing results. Do this hundreds\u2014if possible, thousands\u2014of times, observing what percentage of them get your broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>Sound crazy? Try it. Leave a \u201cMay Basket\u201d of prayer for someone. See if any of your anonymous prayers seem to have an effect on the person you target. See if such \u201csecret agent\u201d prayers can actually (as Laubach claimed) change the climate in a room or subway car.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, however, that unlike a \u201cMay Basket,\u201d you don\u2019t owe a kiss to those who \u201ccatch\u201d you praying for them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You probably don\u2019t celebrate May Day, do you?
