"Prayer is not only appropriate when we have much to say to God either in thanksgiving or with our requests. Prayer is also appropriate when we have nothing to say, when our thanks languishes in our hearts and our requests have become numb through disappointment or delay. When we are in such circumstances, our prayers will not be elegant, but they can be powerful, for they come as a heart-cry to the God who alone can bring hope and salvation."
