What is prayer? I've had this on my mind lately as I think about friends and acquaintances who are dealing in depths of suffering that I have no way to comprehend.
I wish I had an answer, but I truly don't know for myself. All I have right now is a hunch that for me, if it exists, it does not exist in words.
Any thoughts from any of you?

I agree; words are probably the weakest form of prayer. Sighs, groans and scribblings seem more appropriate, often.
