If most of us realize now that we have overlooked the things that matter, we can blame that to our so-called "modern" and multi-tasking lifestyle. Our brains can only take so much that we tend to get information overload. We only react to the things that we see and feel and hear in front of us, and forget to see the real person or the essence behind those things that matter. This is where prayer comes in. Prayer can positively change the way you see yourself and appreciate more the things that cannot be seen or felt or heard.
ST TERESA OF AVILA:
A beginner must look on himself as one setting out to make a garden for his Lord's pleasure, on most unfruitful soil which abounds in weeds. His Majesty roots up the weeds and will put in good plants instead. Let us reckon that this is already done when the soul decides to practice prayer and has begun to do so.
