Philip Yancy - "Prayer"

Here is the next passage of Philip Yancy's book "Prayer" that I wanted to share:

I can count on one hand my most intimate friends, those with whom I would share anything ... When we meet, though, we skip the chitchat and go right to the heart of what concerns us most ... Friendship and God encompasses each of these levels of communication.

That's very true. When I see a close friend we don't waste time talking about the weather or engaging in small talk. We open up and talk about what is really happening in our lives and what our most pressing concerns are. That is the type of relationship you should have with God in prayer.
