The practice of prayer is a struggle for all. We try to pray with the right method and find ourselves so absorbed in doing it right, we forget the presence of the Master. We persist with a particular favoured technique and forget that the Teacher knows what is best for us in the particular season we are in. So if a technique of prayer does not impart life to you, drop it for one that does.

Proper prayer is the one that makes us keenly aware of His Presence and Person. Methods and techniques are means to an end.

We will teach you many and you should get familiarized with them so that you can use them at the proper time. The goal of using them must always be to be with God, to enjoy His company, to listen to Him and leave times of prayer with an osmosis of Jesus’ love, whether felt or unfelt.
