From Alabama-Asked by an interviewer what she said when she prayed to God, Mother Teresa supposedly replied: “I don’t say much. Mostly I just listen.”
The alert interviewer had a follow-up: “And what does God say to you?”
“He doesn’t say much. Mostly, He just listens,” she said.
There’s no question that prayer is integral to a believer’s relationship with God. But how to go about the process – and how to deepen one’s prayer life -- varies widely depending on whom you ask.
The issue is particularly timely as the National Day of Prayer, set for May 2, approaches. Across the nation on that day, many believers will be engaged in prayer, whether together or individually, spoken or unspoken.
“Prayer must be authentic,” asserts Chris George, pastor of First Baptist Church of Mobile. “Emotions, struggles, doubts – all those things are wrapped up in prayer if prayer is authentic.”
