This quote by Abraham Joshua Heschel speaks with the importance of prayer in our lives. He is saying that prayer is not the problem, but rather the relationship we have with God is the issue. Prayer is a method for us to get in touch with God and to reveal our ideas and sensations to Him. It is a method for us to reveal our faith and rely on Him. Prayer is a way for us to seek guidance and to request help in times of requirement. Prayer is a method for us to thank God for all that He has actually provided for us. Prayer is a method for us to reveal our love and commitment to Him. Ultimately, prayer is a way for us to build a relationship with God and to deepen our understanding of Him.

"I prayed to dispel my fear, until suddenly, and I do not know how the idea came to me, I began to pray for others.
