It is characteristic of the poor to beg, and it is characteristic of man, impoverished by the Fall, to pray.  Prayer is a fallen and repentant man’s appeal to God.  Prayer is a fallen and repentant man’s lamentation before God.  Prayer is the pouring forth before God of the heartfelt desires, petitions, and sighs of a man fallen and broken by sin.  ~St Ignatius Brianchaninov
