Imperfect Prayer
"[God] knows us for what we are, and it is just this gift and no other that he so longingly awaits. Our mental prayer might be nothing but this; a quiet waiting at His feet, adoring Him in wordless manner. There will be noise, distraction and, alas, sin; we gather all of it together and lift it up to God. There may be no pleasure, no spiritual delight. Good, just so is God loved."
