"The essence of prayer does not consist in asking God for something but in
opening our hearts to God, in speaking with Him, and living with Him in perpetual
communion. Prayer is continual abandonment to God. Prayer does not mean asking
God for all kinds of things we want; it is rather the desire for God Himself, the only Giver
of Life, Prayer is not asking, but union with God. Prayer is not a painful effort to gain
from God help in the varying needs of our lives. Prayer is the desire to possess God
Himself, the Source of all life. The true spirit of prayer does not consist in asking for
blessings, but in receiving Him who is the giver of all blessings, and in living a life of
fellowship with Him." ~ Sadhu Sundar Singh
