A little bit will do it. Prayer is not an intelligence briefing for God. F. Dale Bruner, professor emeritus of religion at Whitmore College, an authority on the Gospel of Mark.
It is man's attitude of openness -- looking, listening, and waiting -- which prepares him to receive whatever God may give, and to obey. George Appleton, Anglican bishop and editor of The Oxford Book of Prayer.
Prayer is a powerful means to experience God's presence, God's peace, God's grace, and God's wisdom. Rev. Siang-Yang Tan, professor of psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary.

Hi Karin — Dale Bruner was one of my professors in college. What a blast from the past to see his name.
What a small world! We are all 6 degrees from each other, even if it is only by quotes.
