Notice carefully every word here. It is not our prayer which draws Jesus into our hearts. Nor is it our prayer which moves Jesus to come in to us. All He needs is access.

And that requires no strength. It is only a question of our wills. Will we give Jesus access to our needs?.
May our prayers today, and every day, be from our hearts and with the focus of our whole being.
