Good quote, but I'd like to point out that God is delighted when God's children pray. If, as a child, we only pray when we need something we are living as a small child. If, in God's grace, we mature as Christians and pray without ceasing (in good times and in bad), then our blessing is perhaps greater as is our awareness of the grace and unmerited kindness of our Creator. Nonetheless, most people have an "I need something relationship with God".
The point must be that there is so much more waiting for all of God's children. It may be harder to pray as time goes along if we don't develop a practice of the presence of God, but never, never feel that you cannot go to God in prayer. The saying is harsh; God is... not... like us.
First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com

Paige had the right idea.
Truer words have never been spoken.
you're right, Don!
