Prayer is not made great by a lot of words, for God knows your inmost feelings before you say them.
True prayer comes from the spirit.
You pray only for what you really desire. If you do not see what you are desiring from the depths of your heart, your prayer is deceitful. You pray without ceasing when there is true love in your heart, and when there is a desire born of God there. Love, hidden in the depths of the spirit, prays constantly even when your mind needs to attend to something else. Love asks God to give you what you need and to regard your sincerity above your human weakness.
