When the lord wants to give us a mission, wants to give us a task, he prepares us. he prepares us to do it well...what is important is the whole journey by which we arrive at the mission the lord entrusts to us...when the lord gives a mission, he always has us enter into a process, a process of purification, a process of discernment, a process of obedience, a process of prayer.

More From Pope Francis

Prayer is first of all listening to god. it's openness. god is always speaking; he's always doing something. prayer is to enter into that activity... convert your thoughts into prayer. as we are involved in unceasing thinking, so we are called to unceasing prayer. the difference is not that prayer is thinking about other things, but that prayer is thinking in dialogue,... a conversation with god.

Say the prayer first thing in the morning when you open your eyes; then say it again before you go to sleep. dream the prayer. feel the prayer with your emotional body. be the prayer; align your faith and intent with the prayer until your whole life is based on this prayer.
Dream Morning Prayer
All right prayer has good effect, but if you give your whole life to the prayer you multiply its power... no one really knows the full power of prayer. of course, there is a relationship between prayer and action. receptive prayer result in an inner receiving, which motivates to right action.

Satan cannot deny but that great wonders have been wrought by prayer. as the spirit of prayer goes up, so his kingdom goes down. satan's strategems against prayer are three. first, if he can, he will keep thee from prayer. if that be not feasible, secondly, he will strive to interrupt thee in prayer. and, thirdly, if that plot takes not, he will labour to hinder the success of thy prayer.
Prayer Plot Three
Prayer gives us strength for great ideals, for keeping up our faith, charity, purity, generosity; prayer gives us strength to rise up from indifference and guilt, if we have had the misfortune to give in to temptation and weakness. prayer gives us light by which to see and to judge from god's perspective and from eternity. that is why you must not give up on praying!
