Prayer - the ultimate weapon for spiritual enlightenment

PRAYER IS ONE OF LIFE'S MOST PUZZLING MYSTERIES.

MAN SOMETIMES FEARS THAT IT IS PRESUMPTUOUS TO TAKE UP GOD'S TIME WITH HIS PROBLEMS.

SOME 'WISE' PEOPLE SAY: LIMIT YOUR PRAYERS TO REQUESTS FOR GUIDANCE, AN OPEN MIND TO RECEIVE IT, AND FORTITUDE TO ACT UPON IT.

A RESPECTED EPISCOPAL-CLERIC HAS ANOTHER VIEW. THE LORD'S PRAYER, HE POINTS OUT, IS AS SPECIFIC AS BREAD AND DEBT.

FEAR AND WORRY CAN KEEP US UP ALL NIGHT LONG, BUT FAITH IN THE LOVE OF GOD MAKES ONE FINE PILLOW.
