The title of this chapter is "The God To Whom We Pray." I believe that there is no better explanation about this topic than Eric Butterworth's lecture on Meister Eckhart, given in his audio series Great Teachers. Besides listening to this particular clip, you are encouraged to listen to the entire lecture because it portrays a God who is continuously expressing himself/herself through you. You will find there an explanation about the nature of life and why we have an unquenchable desire for prayer.
Here is Eric's clip from the Great Teachers series:
