I used to pray aloud in my car on the way to work but I realized that I easily fell into mindless repetition day after day and that allowing God to speak to me was much more effective.
There was once an interview of Mother Theresa by Dan Rather that went something like this: 'When you pray,' asked Dan, 'what do you say to God?' 'I don't say anything,' she replied. 'I listen.' Dan tried another tack. 'Well, okay...when God speaks to you, then, what does He say?' 'He doesn't say anything. He listens.' Dan looked bewildered. For an instant, he didn't know what to say. 'And if you don't understand that,' Mother Teresa added, 'I can't explain it to you.'
Mother Theresa also once said: "We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer."
