For many of us prayer means nothing more than speaking with God. And since it usually seems to be a quite one-sided affair prayer simply means talking to God. This idea is enough to create great frustrations. If I present a problem I expect a solution if I formulate a question I expect an answer if I ask for guidance I expect a response. And when it seems increasingly that I am talking into the dark it is not so strange that I soon begin to suspect that my dialogue with God is in fact a monologue. Then I may begin to ask myself To whom am I really speaking God or myself
Our love was covered in fur yet I was the only one who wanted to pet it.
