In truth, what I think and feel as I pray, rather than the words I speak, may be the real prayer, for God “hears” that too. My every thought occurs in God’s presence. (Psalm 139:4, 7 – 8: “Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord…. Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.”)
