Sharon, I like this.  I think it's easy to think of God as the audience, and 
we're onstage doing our fervent-prayer act, trying to see if we can get a 
standing ovation from God.  But it's not so much about our using the right 
words, or sitting in prayer for the right number of hours, etc., although of 
course all these things are good.  But it seems to me it's more about where 
our heart and spirit are as we lift the need up.  If we're truly praying for 
someone, there will be a part of us praying, even while the rest of our 
focus is on doing what needs to be done in our own life.
