She explains that the traditional use of formal language, such as 'thee' and 'thou,' can create a barrier between the individual and God. By speaking to God in a natural and straightforward manner, believers can experience a deeper connection. Rinker states, 'The more natural the prayer, the more real He becomes. It has all been simplified for me to this extent: prayer is a dialogue between two persons who love each other.' | Rosalind Rinker | Prayer
