“True intimacy is an acquired thing, something that develops— but it only develops with honesty. So if your prayer of life is a bit ropey, I suggest starting again by stammering like a child to a Father. Cry for help. Don’t try to be impressive” (p. 29).

"When you default to thinking of prayer as an abstract activity, a 'thing to do', the tendency is to focus on the prayer as an activity--which makes it boring. Instead, focus on the one to whom you are praying. Reminding yourself who you are coming before is a great help against distraction, and changes the prayer" (p. 20).

"Jesus is the Lord; Jesus is Immanuel, God with us. But our Lord and God prays. In fact, he's always praying. When full of joy, he'd pray; when agonizing, he'd pray. When making major decisions like appointing apostles, he'd spend a good bit of time in prayer. His prayer inspired his disciples to ask, 'Lord, teach us to pray' (Lk. 11:1)" (page 11).
