I love these thoughts from Rohr.  -MDP-

Prayer is a psychological place, a spiritual place, a place where we go to get out of ourselves, a place created and inhabited by God.  Whatever disciplines can help us to get to where reality can get at us (the Real in its ultimate sense being God) I would call prayer.  That opens up many possibilities and styles.

Prayer is whatever calls us to detach from our own self, from our own compulsions and addictions, from our own ego, from our own “place.”   We are all too trapped in our own places by virtue of the egocentricity of the human person.  In prayer the Spirit entices us outside of our narrow comfort zone.  No wonder we avoid prayer:  We have to change places.
