In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

When you pray, rather let your heart be without words than your words without heart.

However one might pray - in any verbal way or completely without words - is unimportant to God. What matters is the heart's intent.

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Prayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart.

Prayer requires more of the heart than of the tongue.

The fewer the words, the better the prayer.

Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart.

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

There are many reasons our prayers may lack power. Sometimes they become routine. Our prayers become hollow when we say similar words in similar ways over and over so often that the words become more of a recitation than a communication.
