the same holds true in prayer
Page 97 the same holds true in prayer. You need a plan. Simply wanting to pray better isn’t going to cut it. Feeling guilty for lack of concentration isn’t going to help you.
— from The Air Traffic Controller (God)
In the book
Make the practice concrete and habitual: a standing daily reflection on what is good, a steady turning of your focus toward connection and away from comparison. Pray, but pray with a plan. Simply wishing you prayed better will never get you there, and feeling guilty about a wandering mind helps even less. Give the prayer a real theme, and let the theme be about you and your actual life. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
