Every time we pray our horizon is altered, our attitude to things is altered, not sometimes but every time, and the amazing thing is that we don't pray more.
We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.
Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. Unless in the first waking moment of the day you learn to fling the door wide back and let God in, you will work on a wrong level all day; but swing the door wide open and pray to your Father in secret, and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God.
If you have ever prayed in the dawn you will ask yourself why you were so foolish as not to do it always: it is difficult to get into communion with God in the midst of the hurly-burly of the day.
When a man is at his wits' end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get in touch with Reality.
God's silences are His answers. If we only take as answers those that are visible to our senses, we are in a very elementary condition of grace.
Pray because you have a Father, not because it quietens you, and give Him time to answer.
