Good prayer builds on human weakness. God allows us to remain weak to teach us how much we need Him. Never be discouraged. Many saints have been humiliated by their weakness, but they were among God’s choicest instruments.
Good prayer promotes self-respect. Prayer can help you to realize that you have dignity and worth. Even though you may feel unworthy. God is blessing you because God is unchanging love. His love never fails whether you feel it or not.
Good prayer is joyful. The purpose of prayer is not to experience joy, but to praise God, and the quality of your prayer does not depend on good feeling. May people pray in darkness for a long time before they know real joy.
Good prayer is patient: Be patient with God. The gifts you need will come in His good time. Try to remember that the key to prayer is in knowing that God wants to work in and through you just as you are. You can’t plant an acorn one day and expect to go out and sit in the shade of an oak tree the next!
