A TINY SNIPPET ON PRAYER
If it doesn’t come from the heart, it
isn’t prayer.
Mechanical recitation of prayers which
use merely the head or mouth is not prayer. Machine gun rosaries are
noise, not prayer. Rushing through a stack of prayer cards every day
without thought or reverence, is not prayer.
People who come to prayer only
when they have a personal shopping list, need to discover the higher forms of
prayer, where God is the focal point.
Prayers of petition are fruitful as we
grow in trust, so prayers of petition are seldom fruitful without prayers of
praise and worship, which foster trust.
