Philip Yancey on Prayer
On p. 191 of Prayer: Does it make any difference? Philip Yancey reduces Jesus’ teaching on prayer to three memorable principles: “Keep it honest, keep it simple and keep it up.” He also suggests that you can get an insight about prayer by asking parents of young children what is the “correct” way for their toddlers to approach them with needs. The silliness of the question is a lesson about prayer, in which our relationship to God is always child to parent.
Man, that Philip Yancey can write!
