YOUR BEST PRAYER
Listen, my friend! Your helplessness is your best prayer. It calls from your heart to the heart of God with greater effect than all your uttered pleas. He hears it from the very moment that you are seized with helplessness, and He becomes actively engaged at once in hearing and answering the prayer of your helplessness. He hears today as He heard the helpless and wordless prayer of the man sick with the palsy. O. Hallesby, Prayer (translated by Clarence J. Carlsen) (Minneapolis, Minnesota: Augsburg Publishing House, 1931, 1960), p. 17. as quoted by Catherine Marshall, Meeting God at Every Turn (Chosen Books, Lincoln, Virginia, 1980), page 73.
