4 cardinal rules in prayer according to Brennan Manning

1. You learn to pray by praying. There's no substitute for putting in time.

2. Pray as you can don't pray as you can't. Pray in the way that is simplest for you.

3. Don't just pray when you feel like it. "If you talk to your spouse only when you feel like it there might be long periods of silence."

4. ("the last and most important") Intensity of desire. How badly do we wish to see Jesus? How badly.
