ALIGNING WILLS
Prayer is surrender – surrender to the will of God and cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boat-hook from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull, do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God. From Henrietta Mears and How She Did It, by E.M. Baldwin, p. 148 (quoted by Kent & Barbara Hughes, Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome, p. 73)
