Reflections 9: Prayers

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul.--Mahatma Ghandi

What kind of prayer did you say before you went to sleep? Who taught you how to pray it?

My mother and my church taught me how to pray, but I always felt I was doing it wrong.

See, talking to God was an all day thing to me. I would talk to Him about everything that I thought, saw, heard, wondered about, or experienced. I never stopped talking to him. So prayers didn't have a beginning or an end--they just had a "I'll talk to you tomorrow, goodnight".

The way I was taught to pray had a definite structure, but didn't hold my interest long, so I kind of...improv-ed it.
