A.W. Tozer emphasizes the power of unconditional prayer as exemplified by Juliana of Norwich, who boldly asked her Savior for what she desired without any conditions. This approach allowed God to respond fully to her requests, as she was willing to pay any price for what was good for her soul and glorifying to God. Tozer warns that many believers hinder their prayers by being overly cautious and placing limits on what they are willing to accept from God, thus making it difficult for Him to answer. True prayer, he argues, requires a willingness to embrace radical changes and a complete trust in God's will. The essence of real praying lies in the courage to ask without reservations.

J.R. Miller emphasizes the importance of prayer as a means to access God, encouraging believers to come boldly to His throne of grace in the name of Jesus Christ. He acknowledges the burdens we carry and the need for God's sustaining grace, urging us to cast our cares upon Him while seeking strength to endure. Miller also highlights the necessity of aligning our will with God's, asking for guidance to follow His commandments and to accept both the pleasant and painful aspects of life as part of His loving plan. He concludes with a heartfelt prayer of gratitude for God's mercies and a plea for compassion over our shortcomings.
