Quote o'da Day :Prayer

    "In our praying, we should speak to God about Himself--that
is praise; or about His gifts--that is thanksgiving; or about
other people--that is intercession; or about our sins--that is
confession and penitence; or about our needs--that is
petition.  Prayer has five fingers, like a hand, and each in
turn must be pointed to God, that our prayer may be full and
complete".
... F. W. Kates (b.1920)
