"Prayer has far more to do with what God wants to do in us than with our trying to 'reach' or 'realize,' still less 'entertain,' God in prayer. This truth eliminates anxiety and concern as to the success or non-success of our prayer, for we can be quite certain that, if we want to pray and give the time to prayer, God is always successful and that is what matters....The logical consequence for us must surely be that our part is to let ourselves to be loved, let ourselves be given to, let ourselves be worked upon by this great God and made capable of total union with him."
