Prayer is much more than just giving a list of desires to God, as if He were the great Sugar Daddy/Santa Claus in the sky.

That the sight of people attracts still other people, is something that city planners and city architectural designers seem to find incomprehensible. They operate on the premise that city people seek the sight of emptiness, obvious order and quiet. Nothing could be less true.
