If the devotee has dedicated his all, body, mind and existence to the Lord, the Lord Himself will look after everything, and He will always be with the devotee. Under such circumstances, there is no need for prayer. But have you so dedicated yourself and surrendered everything to the Lord? No! When losses occur, or calamities come, or plans go astray, the devotee blames the Lord. If you fully rely completely on the Lord at all times, why should He deny you His Grace? Why should He desist from helping you? At times, devotees do not rely fully and unswervingly on the Lord. Therefore, though you have to be the agent and the instrument doing everything, keep on praying with devotion and faith. Faith is the product of peace, not of haste and hurry. Prayer of this type with peace is essential for spiritual aspirants. Prayer of this type will promote equanimity.
-Divine Discourse, Prasanthi Vahini.
