Prayer should be the key to the morning and the lock of the night. Early in the morning I first see the sun, I say a little prayer for the world, I hope my little children live a long long time, yes, every little boy and little girl. If you feel distant from God, remember it is not God that moved. Prayer for many is like a foreign land. When we go there, we go as tourists.
Silence is the finest of sounds.
The only way you can have relationship with God is if you approach him willing to be a defeated human being. He never appears to people with capital I. 7. The essence of prayer is when you reach the right mode, when you are ready to exchange a glance for a fleeting second, between mortal man and the eternal. The difference between prayer and prophecy is that in prophecy God initiates the contact, and in prayer, it is man that summons God, man initiates the contact. If more people would pray, more consistently, we could literally, through the power of prayers, lift the clouds of darkness that envelop the planet.
