Could you give us some highlights of what should be part of every prayer, every day?
There are some theories that say that in order to achieve the discipline of daily prayer, one should set aside the same time every day. I think that this leads rather to the routine against which you warned us. Which is right?
________
Are the batteries of both willpower and courage recharged by prayer?
________
What about the problem of selfishness in prayer?
________
Is silent prayer, without uttering words, sufficient, or does formulation and verbalization in loud words make prayer more effective?
________
I noticed that some people pray by addressing God in the third person. In other words, they speak about God. They say, for instance, “I ask God…,” rather than speaking directly to God. Is there any significance in this? Does it make any difference?
________
May I ask why is it so difficult at times to start praying at all?
________
Can you please provide some guidance for how to get started?
