I ask myself at the end of the day, Did I do anything today that would give God pleasure? Since God longs to feel delight in me, did I give him such opportunity? No matter what answers I come up with, I still relax in God's love and ask him to enfold me in grace and forgiveness. I try to quiet the clamour of my own self and create space for the quiet of God to enter. What matters most to God in prayer, I am convinced, is my longing to know Him.
