Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

About This Quote

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Prayer, when it does anything at all, is asking for help from a higher power to make our lives better. When we pray, we are admitting that we are incapable of doing everything ourselves and that we need help from another very special person. The prayer itself shows us the love and humility that we should always show to others.

God wants us to pray, not because it makes us feel good, but because it will make the world a better place.
