Prayer Reminder

I need this reminder every day of my life to remind me about my goal in prayer, even underneath my desire for God--not for GOOD FEELINGS, but to love and yearn for the Holy One.

“… do not give up the form of prayer that comes naturally to you; and do not be disheartened if it seems at first a barren and profitless performance. It is quite possible to obtain spiritual nourishment without being consciously aware of it.”

— Evelyn Underhill, The Letters of Evelyn Underhill
(also in An Anthology of the Love of God)

Thank you to Anamchara for posting this wonderful quotation of Evelyn Underhill.
