Pastor John Wright

I'm still plowing my way through finals, reading only these and living relatively monastically to get the work done so that life might go on. I'm reading some on Augustine's Monastic Rules, and I came across the following little piece on prayer. I think that I find it profound, not for what it merely says about prayer, but more, how Augustine understands prayer to really be about God.

So here's the quote, taken from one of Augustine's letters:

Much talking in prayer is to burden the necessary petition with superfluous words; but much praying is to press him to whom we pray with a continual and devote stirring of the heart. For often the matter is effected more by groans than by words. For God places 'our tears in his sight, and our groaning is not hid from' him who created all things by his Word and has no need of human words.

Considerably, the post is actually the freshest on this notable topic. I agree with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your incoming updates. Just saying thanks will not just be adequate, for the exceptional clarity in your writing. I will right away grab your rss feed to stay informed of any updates. De lightful work and much success in your business endeavors!
