“The intellect makes the prayer, but the feeling makes the cry.” - Martin Luther
Without love, our words are a noisy gong or clanging cymbal (1 Corinthians 13:1). We can possess prophetic powers, understanding of all mysteries and knowledge, have faith to remove mountains, we can give away our every possession, and deliver our bodies to be burned, and all of it is meaningless without love (1 Corinthians 13:2-3).
A prayer without heart is simply a monologue.
Lord may our lives be prayers be filled with truth and love. Attention and affection. Intellect and feeling. Amen and amen.
Amen,
