In Martin Buber's I and Thou, there is one famous saying, "The prayer is not in the time, but rather time is in the prayer." This saying conveys the interaction of time and prayer, which actually reveals the God-human relation. But Buber ignores the otherly nature of God in his direct analysis of God-human relation, just as he ignores God's otherness when oscillating between depicting the metaphysical God-human relation and the traditional relation between the Father and the Son. Moreover, prayer usually arises in the throes of suffering and the hypostatic context of love, which lie beyond the mysterious relation poetically portrayed by Buber.
