“The conviction that prayer should be exclusively a matter of desire holds a specific place among other misconceptions existing in church today…The fact of the matter is that because it is difficult for them to pray regularly in the mornings and evenings, they pray occasionally from time to time. Their argument has always been the same: you can’t pray without desire! This is said every time with absolute conviction, as if it were really true.”
