Purpose of Prayer

An ongoing report of my reading of PAPA Prayer by Larry Crabb.

From the introduction:

"For years, I've prayed as if the real purpose of prayer were to get the things I want from God. And I thought those things were the obvious blessings of life, the things we all want that make our lives happier, more meaningful and satisfying. But I'm coming to see that what I most want is Him. I want to know Him, trust Him, hear His voice, and experience His power to live the way He tells me to, whether things go my way or not. That, I'm discovering, gives me a kind of solid joy nothing else provides." p. xiv
