What has been found to be most beneficial when it comes to prayers, and really to even living life in general, is that of the mindset that we decidedly bring to prayer. And where it all starts—where the beginning of the whole thing is—is with our likes and our dislikes, with what we want and what we don’t want. If we stop and think about it, that’s where all our requests from God begin, right? They begin with us presenting to God things that we would like to see happen, and things that we would prefer not happen. This kind of presentation of what we want from the mind is so instilled in us that we often don’t hardly notice it. It just comes forth from the inner-parts of our being. We even define ourselves at times by our likes and dislikes. And, what is being said here is not that our likes and dislikes are bad—that’s not actually where this is going. Rather, it is more our attitude when it comes to those likes and dislikes, that are we truly surrendered when it comes to what we want and what we do not want.
