To be present is to be prayerful. – Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

To pray is to pay attention to something or someone other than oneself. Whenever a man so concentrates his attention — on a landscape, a poem, a geometrical problem, an idol, or the True God — that he completely forgets his own ego and desires, he is praying. – W. H. Auden

My father prayed because he had a good Friend with whom to share the problems of the day. – Corrie Ten Boom, Clippings from My Notebook
