<blockquote>
Mandazzle: When you pray, what do you thank God for?

Several years ago someone shared the following story with me and I loved it immediately. It resonates for me and represents, for me, what I think prayer is all about.

<blockquote>An Excerpt from an Interview with Mother Theresa...

Interviewer: When you talk to God, what do you say?

Mother Theresa: Nothing. I just listen.

Interviewer: And what does God say?

Mother Theresa: Nothing. God just listens.</blockquote>
That's meaningful to me because I've been to that place of Nothingness; that place of Silence. I remain grateful for the Silence.
