(Thinking about praying that reaches God and bears fruit, began jotting down thoughts which have resulted in the following. Herewith for whatever uplift it may give some reader. I can never be grateful enough for the teachings of Christian Science that point out--whatever we are praying about, for whomoever--the absolute need for Christlike love to be in our thoughts and our lives, to be what motivates our every action.)
"Selflessness Essential"
(c) By: Sharon Slaton Howell
Hope I'm learning as I
go from day to day,
something more about praying,
how to do it in a better way.
Reaching out to God--
to benefit not me,
but to lift up thee,
seems to be the key.
To pray with self removed
(not entirely, truth to say),
the good of another sought;
praying that is done
out of Christlike love,
must this not connect
with power from Above--
our God being all Love?
