On Prayer
Some
people think that in prayer, you are the one giving to God. You give him words,
you give him time, you give him emotions. But in reality, prayer in its true
depth is a process of taking from God. He is the Giver, not the taker. The
person who prays and feels that he has taken from God, is the one who succeeds
in their prayer. The person who prays and feels that he has received power from
God, is the one who succeeds in their prayer. The person who prays and receives
blessings from God, is the one who succeeds in their prayer. The person who
prays and receives repentance from God, is the one who succeeds in their
prayer. The person who prays and receives holiness in their life from God, is
the one who succeeds in their prayer. The person who prays and receives a
spiritual connection between themselves and God, is the one who succeeds in
their prayer.
