I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention.
A Letter is a Joy of Earth - It is denied the Gods
The goal of prayer is the ear of God.
A dream–I was trying to explain to St. Peter, and was doing it in the German tongue, because I didn't want to be too explicit.
Speak to Him, thou, for He hears, and Spirit with Spirit can meet- Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet.
A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.
I must pour out my heart in the language which his Spirit gives me; and more than that, I must trust in the Spirit to speak the unutterable groanings of my spirit, when my lips cannot actually express all the emotions of my heart.
For me, music is always the language which permits one to converse with the Beyond.
I often pray, though I'm not really sure Anyone's listening; and I phrase it carefully, just in case He's literary.
