"The astonishing thing about prayer is our inability to accept that if we have need of it,
 as we do, then because of God’s goodness, it cannot be something that is difficult.
 Accept that God is good and that your relationship with Him is prayer, and you must conclude
 that prayer is an act of the utmost simplicity.
 
Yet so many people seem to feel that there is some mysterious method, some way in that others know,
 but they do not. ‘Knock and it shall be opened to you’: they seem to believe that it needs
 some sort of Masonic knock and their own humble tapping will go unnoticed.
 
What kind of God thinks of tricks, lays down arcane rules, makes things difficult?
 God wants to love us and to give Himself. He wants to draw us to Himself,
 strengthen us, and infuse His peace.
 
The humblest, most modest, almost imperceptible rubbing of our fingers on the door, and it flies open….
 Prayer is the last thing we should feel discouraged about."
                                                                        On Prayer, Sr. Wendy Beckett
