I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.
God has no grandchildren. He has only children, so being a born-again Christian is not an automatic thing.
As a born-again Christian, I believe God actively and directly influences me to action.
Just be yourself, and enjoy the blessings that God's borne out on you.
Do not borrow the productions of other men's brains and pens and recite them as a lesson; but make the most of the talents, the brain power, that God has given you.

My God, I have so much bounty in my life.
