"Prayer doesn’t change God; it changes us. It aligns us with God’s purposes and helps us forgive. It’s not a preliminary step; it’s the work itself. We should converse with God about everything, seeking His guidance in our difficulties and praising Him for His blessings. Nothing should be hidden from Him. This requires us to intentionally and ruthlessly eliminate distractions. We must understand how to turn down all the noise in our life, from time to time, or we will never find the time and serenity that prayer requires."- Doug Hall
