A teacher with many years of experience in high school and college classrooms
observes many kinds of students.  He said one in particular is what I call the
"just ne and the teacher" kind.

This pupil has a kind of one-on-one coversation going on with the teacher-
almost as of no one else were in the class.  The teacher's rhetorical
questions, for instance, resulted in verbal answers fron this student-oblivious
to anyone else's reaction.  While the class was filled with other pupils, this
one seemed to thinks it's "just me and the teacher."

An observer watched one of these students recently and saw him command the
teacher's attention.  He thought "He's on to something.  He has the focus we
all need when we pray."

The thought that millions of other Christians are talking to God as we pray
should never cause us to feel that we are less important.  No, as we talk to
our everywhere-present, all-knowing, all-powerful God, we can be confident
that He is giving us His full attention.  God always directs single-minded
attention toward our praise, our requests, and  our concerns.

In prayer, to Him you're the ONLY one.

Christianity is a personal relationship, not a religion.

"Though millions are bending God's ear in prayer, He listens to each
individually."
