From "Going with the Flow:"

"The first words I speak when arising in the
morning are, 'I arise, O God, to do Thy will.'
This is the shortest prayer I know and it is
deeply ingrained in me. Prayer doesn't change
God's attitude toward me; it changes my attitude
toward God. As distinguished from prayer,
meditation is a quiet time, without words.
To be centered is to be physically relaxed,
emotionally calm, mentally focused and spiritually
aware." c. 1990, Daily Reflections, page 319

I like that reading Zing, and prayer is the way I connect myself to God and remind myself that His will is what I should look for.
