Dr. Albert Reissner in the Christian Laymen New York, New York

Jesus of Nazareth warned his followers against stereotyped prayer. Jesus instructed them to enter into their booths and pray to their Father who seeth in secret. Prayer should come from the heart. ... We find in prayer a new meaning in life, a knowledge of the love and presence of God, and our mind is cleared up for today and about the future. ... By the act of surrendering to God, every prayer will be answered. God binds us to Himself. ...

The first three parts of the Lord's Prayer are filled with Divine praise—the primary object of prayer.
