Prayer finds its source in God's holiness and it is at the same time our response to this holiness.

Men in prayer give greater license to their unlawful desires than if they were telling jocular tales among their equals.

He regards it as the highest insult for the wicked to boast of His covenant while profaning His sacred Name by their whole lives.

Prayer is about steeping in the Spirit of a God so loving that He totally changes you.

The best formula for a prayer that gives J.O.Y:

J- 1st, Pray to JESUS
O- 2nd, Pray for OTHERS
Y- 3rd, Pray for YOURSELF

Most people distort the formula by praying selfish prayers for their own personal gains. JYO is not the spelling for joy. In JOY, O comes before Y. It means you pray for OTHERS before YOURSELF.

Knowledge, and then love of G-d, is the
homecoming all long for, the banquet or feast
that has been long promised.
