We do not pray to get results.  The truth is, most of the time we will not see any results of our prayer — but that’s perfectly okay. For we do not pray to get results. We do not pray to get anything. We pray to love Someone. We also pray to become someone: the person God is calling us to be. Ordinarily we become that person not by dramatic leaps and bounds, but by barely noticeable baby steps. – Sister Melannie Svoboda, S.N.D.
