Prayer is something deeper than words...

O Lord, God of my salvation,
 I cry out day and night before you.
 Let my prayer come before you;
incline your ear to my cry!
-Psalm 88:1-2

Prayer is something deeper than words. It is present in the soul before it has been formulated into words. And it abides in the soul after the last words of prayer have passed over our lips.
Prayer is an attitude of our hearts, an attitude of mind. Prayer is a definite attitude of our hearts toward God, an attitude which He in heaven immediately recognizes as prayer, as an appeal to His heart. Whether it takes the form of words or not, does not mean anything to God, only to ourselves.  -O. Hallesby
