Prayer

What is my prayer but what my heart feels? 


Does my prayer need to be logical? 


Does my prayer need to behave in a certain way in order for there to be a response? 


Logic:


God is Love


My prayer needs to be directed towards love. 


My need is God. My need is LOVE. 


LORD my lack is love, my lack is YOU. Fill my cup, run over.

"Surprised by Joy"
SURPRISED by joy--impatient as the Wind I turned to share the transport--Oh! with whom But Thee, deep buried in the silent tomb, That spot which no vicissitude can find? Love, faithful love, recalled thee to my mind-- But how could I forget thee? Through what power, Even for the least division of an hour, Have I been so beguiled as to be blind To my most grievous loss?--That thought's return Was the worst pang that sorrow ever bore, Save one, one only, when I stood forlorn, Knowing my heart's best treasure was no more; That neither present time, nor years unborn Could to my sight that heavenly face restore.
-William Wordsworth

Certainly 'feelings' have a place integrated with the logic of my prayer.

Why are you cast down, O my soul,

and why are you in turmoil within me?

Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,

my salvation and my God.

(Psalm 42:5-6 ESV)
