Pleasurable Prayer
Speaking of Ben Patterson,
"I can admire a person who gets up in the early morning
hours because prayer is important, but I hardly know what to make of a
man who gets out of bed in the dark because the act of prayer is so
pleasurable. Clearly, I have something to learn.
"In order to learn to love to pray, as opposed to loving the idea
of praying, one must experience the feeling while praying that you are
at the center of reality. This runs contrary to common notions—that
prayer, for instance, is a retreat from the real world, that prayer is
a kind of luxury that we hope someday to be able to afford"
