Prayer is communication with the Divine.
It can be whispered or chanted or written or
expressed in the work you do.
However it is expressed, it is never in vain.
"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and
restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees,
flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun,
how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls."
God is a child who amuses himself,
going from laughing to crying for no reason,
each day reinventing the world to the chagrin
if hair-splitters, pedants, and preachers,
who try to teach God his job as Creator.
"A religious man is a person who holds
God and man in one thought at one time,
at all times, who suffers harm done to others,
whose greatest passion is compassion,
who is greatest strength is love and defiance of despair."
God has editing rights over our prayers.
He will... edit them, correct them,
bring them in line with His will and then hand them back to us to be resubmitted.
"I want to know how God created this world.
I am not interested in this or that phenomenon,
in the spectrum of this or that element.
I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details."
