How we approach prayer says everything about who or what or if we think God is. Is God a transcendent deity to whom we appeal? Is God the process of the cosmos, of which we are a part? Or is prayer simply an opportunity to get in touch with our own consciousness? Find the image that is helpful to you.
No one can share my inner space;
There I am alone, yet not alone,
For you are there, O God,
Deeper than my thinking,
I am told that God answers prayer.
Always.
But then a few caveats are added,
meant to temper my expectation
for a quick and positive response.
