It's a Practical Matter

Before I came to the Fellowship, I thought I knew everything about how to pray. But I soon learned that I knew nothing. I thought my way of praying, which I had picked up here and there, was the only way. But it didn't work. When I asked the God of my understanding for help (mostly for me, sometimes for others), he never seemed to answer. I didn't think my prayer format had anything to do with this; there must be something wrong with God's end of the line. As for gratitude prayers, my attitude was: "What's the use?"
