Wanting to feel good is synonymous with wanting to feel God.

One of the values of centering prayer is that you are not thinking about God during the time of centering prayer so you are giving God a chance to manifest.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noises and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature-trees, flowers, grass-grow in silence. Is not our mission to give God to those we walk with? Not a dead God, but a living, loving God. The more we receive in silent prayer, the more we can give in active life. We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say, but what God says to us and through us. Words that don't give the light of Christ increase the darkness.

Prayer is simply coming into the presence of God. Because when you come into the presence of God, even the things you don't have matter a lot less.
