Simple prayers

ALLISON W. PHINNEY, JR.

Sometimes the thought may come that if praying were simpler, we would do more of it. It's a devilish suggestion. The fact is that prayer is already as simple as it could possibly be.

You are probably doing more praying in your life than you realize. If you are steadily working at being good, for example, that's definitely a form of prayer. Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and founded Christian Science, makes the observation "The habitual struggle to be always good is unceasing prayer." Science and Health, p. 4.
