No one can pray well, but those who live well. – Proverb

God tells us to burden him with whatever burdens us. – Author Unknown

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
