An abundance of words is not necessary, meditation and allowing your mind to be wrapped in peace as you go about your daily routine is highly effective prayer. That’s when you know God has heard you because he will respond to a still mind and you will hear the response. All God ever asked of us is to be like him. A good prayer is to ask him who he is, if you aren’t sure. And when he tells you, just show your thanks by following the instructions.
Think about what was said when the disciples asked Jesus to show them how to pray.
Our Father who art in heaven we praise your holy name. Thy kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven…
= manifest yourself from the invisible realm to this visible realm through me so I can fulfill your will by loving those people on earth the same way you love me from heaven.
