“In order to pray like a child, you might need to unlearn the nonpersonal, nonreal praying that you've been taught.”

“We know that to become a Christian we shouldn’t try to fix ourselves up, but when it comes to praying we completely forget that. We’ll sing the old gospel hymn, “Just as I Am,” but when it comes to praying, we don’t come just as we are. We try, like adults, to fix ourselves up. Private, personal prayer is one of the last great bastions of legalism. In order to pray like a child, you might need to unlearn the nonpersonal, nonreal praying that you’ve been taught.”

“You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.”

“Pray when you feel like praying," somebody has said. "Pray when you don't feel like praying. Pray until you do feel like praying.”

“Work for what you want, pray for what you need and fight for what you've always dreamt about.”

“I will imagine you Venus tonight and pray, pray, pray to your star like a Heathen.”
