Everybody prays. Even non-church goers.
The word for prayer in Latin is precārius. We pray because life is precarious.
Rabbi Abraham Heschel once said, “Prayer is the humble answer to the inconceivable surprise of living.”
As Pete Greig explains in The Prayer Course, your prayer life is at its best when it is simplest—walking and talking with God about the real stuff of life, as Adam and Eve likely did in the Garden.
Greig advises, “Keep it simple. Keep it real. Keep it up.”
- Keep it simple: “Your prayer life is at its best at its simplest”
- Keep it real: “Don’t role-play before God”
- Keep it up: “Don’t give up praying too soon”
