The goal of prayer is the ear of God a goal that can only be reached by patient and continued and continuous waiting upon Him pouring out our heart to Him and permitting Him to speak to us. Only by so doing can we expect to know Him and as we come to know Him better we shall spend more time in His presence and find that presence a constant and ever-increasing delight.
