Primary Purpose

I came across this quote that really resonated with me so I thought I would share

The primary purpose of prayer is not to make requests, The primary purpose of prayer is to praise, to sing, to chant because the essence of prayer is a song and man cannot live without a song

Wonderful...I struggle so with prayer. Always wondering if I'm doing it right. I read somewhere that too many people turn to prayer in times of crisis only and expect God to answer and solve everything immediately. I've learned that prayer is a daily thing, through good and bad, with no expectations for an outcome at all. I simply ask God to make me strong for anything that is coming my way.
