Some excerpts sent to me by a friend from an article speaking about prayer:
"It stands to reason, therefore, that prayer should consist of personal communion - talking to God with inquisitiveness as to His nature and His desires, and eagerness to learn about the things that please and displease Him."
"Authentic prayer, God-centered prayer, realizes that the promise of prayer is God Himself. Being the the presence of God is the greatest reward of prayer."
"Self-centered praying fails to appreciate that our purpose here on earth is to praise our Creator and Redeemer."
