Continuing in Calvin Miller’s Into The Depths of God, breaking the tyranny of the urgent involves the disciplined life, part of which is developing a prayer relationship with the Father.
Miller quotes Fenelon, “Our conversation with God resembles that with a friend. At first there are a thousand things to be told, and just as many to be asked. After a time, however, these diminish , which the pleasure of being together does not.”
In discovering the pleasure of His presence, we learn that prayer is just being with God.The basis of really praying is longing after relationship.
IN conquering the tyranny of the urgent, finding pleasure in just being with God, leads us to fall in love with God. Then we fall in love with the wonder of our togetherness with Him propelling us into praise which is the language of spiritual lovers.

Miller closes the chapter with, “To be a godly disciple means that we transcend the clock, because to be with God mandates that we give our life to become one who waits on God for the sheer pleasure of his company
