In the introduction, the authors acknowledge that prayer is
not only about connecting with the divine, but also about us. I think that is something that is often
forgotten, that prayer is twofold. I've
heard many prayers throughout my life and many of them will focus on one of the
two. Either the person praying will
concentrate too much on worshiping God or they will concentrate too much on
their own needs. Prayer is a balancing
act of God and man, communicating together.
It’s up to the individual whether or not to balance them well. Communication is a two part process. Prayer, at its root, is communication between
the divine and man. It requires
something from both parties. It should
not lack one or the other because that can take away from the potential meaning
of the prayer and the results that might come from it.
