Prayer and practice is good rhyme.
Proverb, Scottish

41.
To be sure, this requires effort and love, a careful cultivation of the spiritual life, and a watchful, honest, active oversight of all one's mental attitudes towards things and people. It is not to be learned by world-flight, running away from things, turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, one must learn an inner solitude, where or with whomsoever he may be. He must learn to penetrate things and find God there, to get a strong impression of God firmly fixed on his mind.
Eckhart, Meister

42.
Prayer should be short, without giving God Almighty reasons why he should grant this, or that; he knows best what is good for us.
