HOW PRAYER CAN HELP:
According to Saint Francis de Sales, 1567 - 1622. Excerpted from "Thy Will be Done: Letters to persons in the world". Sophia institute Press: www.sophianinstitute.com
Below is this great saints advice to a "young woman having difficulty praying", page 26 -27.
"...We must never forget to carry with us into prayer the knowledge that in it we approach God and place ourselves in His presence for two principal reasons.
First, we pray in order to give God the honor and homage we owe Him; and this can be done without his speaking to us or we to Him, for this dutry is paid by remembering that He is our God and we are His vile creatures, andby remaining prostrate in spirit before Him awaiting His commands.
How many courtiers go a hundred times into the presence of the king, not to hear him or speak to him, but simply to be seen by him, and to testify by his assiduity that they are his servants? And this purpose in prostrating ourselves before God--to testify to and profess our good will and gratitude in His service--is excellent, holy, and pure, and therefore of the greatest perfection.
Second, we pray in order to speak with God, and to hear Him speak to us by inspirations and movements in the interior of our soul. And generally this is with a very delicious pleasure, because it is a great good for us to speak to so great a Lord; and when He answers, He spreads abroad a thousand precious balms and unguents, which give great sweetness to the soul.
Well, my good daughter, one of these two goods can never fail you in prayer. If we can speak to our lord, let us speak, let us praise Him, beseech Him, listen to Him. If we cannot use our voice, still let us stay in the room and do reverence to Him. He will see us there; He will accept our patience, and will favor our silence. Another time we shall be quite amazed to be taken by the hand and He will converse with us, and will make a hundred turns with us in the walks of His garden of prayer. And if He should never do this, let us be content with our dutry of being in His suite, and with the great grace and too great honor He does us in suffering our presence."
