Do not turn to prayer only in times of grief suffering and rage. Make prayer a habit whether you are blissful or sorrowful serene or upset clear or confused.
Prayer is a connection from your heart with a force that is powerful beyond measure loves unconditionally and impartially and embraces you whenever you turn to it.
Get crazy in prayer. Ask for the seemingly impossible then watch it happen. Do not make judgments on what you are worthy of. Save the practicality for other aspects of your life.
