Lisa Duffy: A Million Unheard Souls
2. Perfect prayer does not consist in many words, but in the fervor of the desire which raises the heart to Jesus.
One thing is certain; suffering makes it difficult to pray. Since divorce is such a devastating experience, it is oftentimes the first thing that goes out the window. Some people stop praying because they’re angry with God, some stop because they are at a complete loss of words. Sometimes, divorce will cause someone to pray who hasn’t prayed in years, and he becomes confused by trying to figure out which prayer to say and who to pray to.
The most important thing to remember is prayer is talking to God. It doesn’t matter if it’s a rosary on your knees or a simple cry of the heart as you sit in traffic. Lord, help me! The point is to communicate and to listen. That is when you will encounter Jesus.
