Does God have a set way of prayer, a way that he expects each of us to follow?  I doubt it.  I believe some people -- lots of people -- pray through the witness of their lives, through the work they do, the friendships they have, the love they offer and receive from people.  Since when are words the only acceptable form of prayer?

. . . learn what love is. It is complete and utter surrender. That’s a big word, surrender. It doesn’t mean letting people walk all over you, take advantage of you. It’s when we surrender control, let go of our egos, that all the love in the world is there waiting for us. Love is not a game, it’s a state of being.
- Henry Miller from What Doncha Know? about Henry Miller edited by Twinka Thiebaud

Love all the earth, every ray of God’s light, every grain of sand or blade of grass, every living thing. If you love the earth enough, you will know the divine mystery.
- Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only what you are expecting to give — which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving. If you are very lucky, you may get loved back. That is delicious, but it does not necessarily happen.
- Katharine Hepburn, Me: Stories Of My Life

“You don’t know, or maybe you do,” said Mr. Hal, a look of deep satisfaction with the coffee and with his thoughts on his face, “how wonderful a feeling it give you when you know somebody love you and that’s just the way it is. You can be a devil, and still that somebody love you. You can be weak, you can be strong; you can know a heap or nearly nothing. That kind of love, when you think about it, just seems like some kind of puzzle, and you can spend your whole lifetime trying to figure it out. If you puffed up with vanity, you can’t help but think that they is something you created yourself.

Or maybe it your money or your car. But there’s something. . . It’s like how you love a certain place. You just do that’s all. And if you are lucky, while you’re on this earth, you get to visit it. And the place ‘knows’ about your love. That was the love and still is the love between Lissie and me.”
- Alice Walker, The Temple of My Familiar

We should take heed of the promptings of love and truth in your heart, for those are the leadings of God.

 Love: the only revolutionary force capable of producing anything new.

The thing that attracted people to Pasternak was not a social or political theory, it was not a formula for the unification of mankind, not a collectivist panacea for all the evils in the world: it was the man himself, the truth that was in him, his simplicity, his direct contact with life, and the fact that he was full of the only revolutionary force that is capable of producing anything new: he is full of love...

 Like Dostoyevsky, Pasternak holds that man's future depends on his ability to work his way out from under a continuous succession of authoritarian rulers who promise him happiness at the cost of his freedom.

~Thomas Merton, Disputed Questions on the life and work of Boris Pasternak, author of Doctor Zhivago
