Norwegian theologian Ole Hallesby settled on the sigle word helplessness as the best summary of the heart attitude that God accepts as prayer. He said, "only he who is helpless can truly pray".
We never outgrow dependence, and to the extent we think we do, we delude ourselves. Prayer is our declaration of dependence upon the Lord.
Give Him each perplexing problem,
All your needs to Him make known;
Bring to Him your daily burdens -
Never carry them alone!
--Adams--
