THE TRUE SPIRIT OF PRAYER
The
essence of prayer does not consist in asking God for something but in opening
our hearts to God, in speaking with Him, and living with Him in perpetual
communion. Prayer is continual
abandonment to God. Prayer does not mean
asking God for all kinds of things we want; it is rather the desire for God
Himself, the only Giver of Life. Prayer
is not asking, but union with God.
Prayer is not a painful effort to gain from God help in the varying
needs of our lives. Prayer is the desire
to possess God Himself, the Source of all life.
The true spirit of prayer does not consist in asking for blessings, but
in receiving Him who is the giver of all blessings, and in living a life of
fellowship with Him.
