A serious and passionate pursuit of prayer opens new experiences of gratitude. Exploring more deeply the experience of gratitude increases the discipline and power of prayer. A symbiotic relationship between the two is realized, drawing the reader into the wisdom of F. Scott Fitzgerald, \"\"All life is just a progression toward, and then a recession from one phrase--'I love you.'\"\" Loving God, and experiencing God's love, is central to human experience. A progression toward God in prayer and gratitude opens such a genuine and vital relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eW.
