Prayer and praise are the first means of Growth. Pray for knowledge and light..Every other prayer is selfish.! Ask for the ability to do your best and leave the rest for God.! Ask for what you want..But,be willing to take what God gives you.! It may be better than what you ask for.! Let us not pray the Lord to be sheltered from dangers..But, to be fearless while facing them.! Prayer and praise are the first means of growth.! Prayer with the lips was not enough...People should pray with their hearts.! To pray for something is better than nothing.! Better is silent prayer.! -- Swami Vivekananda..
