Prayer is not about informing or persuading God but about connecting with Him in relationship. He is looking for conversation and dialogue with us.

Prayer is far more boring and difficult if we seek to live one part of our lives as if it belonged to God and another part as if it belonged to us.

It is not enough to desire to pray; we must resolutely stay with it. We must fight for our prayer lives because they will not develop on their own.
