Prayer is not a technique of escape. Rather it is a stimulus to spiritual growth—even in the face of the apparently impossible. (UB 91:8.13)
Words are not relevant in prayer. They are merely the intellectual channel in which the river of spiritual supplication may flow. (UB 91:8.12)
Even when air currents are ascending, not even the eagle can fly except it - outstretches its wings. So in prayer, it is the spiritual attitude that carries our prayer to the Infinite. (UB 91:8.9)
God answers prayer with an increased revelation of truth, an enhanced appreciation of beauty, and an augmented concept of goodness. (UB 91:8.11)
Thus, true prayer is always a reaching out to God in faith and self-forgetfulness. (UB 196:0.9)
