To gain a true awareness of the depth and breadth of Christian prayer, it is necessary to understand something of the nature of the God who originates such prayer. This God is first of all a Personal Spirit who is self-sustaining and who is the ground of everything that is. - From The Struggle of Prayer by Donald G. Bloesch

It is Necessary! So says Donald Bloesch. How much of God do you understand? If you don't yet understand all that is (as none of us do) are you at least comfortable with the idea that you are getting to know more about God on a daily basis? What steps might we take, not just to increase the efficiency of our prayer life, but to increase the depth of our relationship with God.
